You know, this doesn't really surprise me. just keeping in mind that, in general, Hollywood studios and the people who run them are full of shit.
I figure at some point in there some low-level producer was trying to sweet-talk someone into either getting "genuine" amputee orphans (as disturbing as that sounds) or trying to get some goodwill publicity for the film(more likely). Then, weeks or months after shooting and a bunch of other bullshit "promises" they finally realized, "shit, we forgot to give them their limbs." and some low level assistant got fired for not passing that memo around (if one ever got written to begin with).
I'm sure usually when this happens, they just have to send a gift basket and a personal apology to someone out in Beverly Hills. But this really blew up in their face. Oh, you Warners!
