It truly is a "Small World"

The Small World ride at the Disney parks really gets a lot of hate.  I can't blame the haters, it certainly freaks me out and seems to be filled with many cultural stereotypes.  The ride originally was meant to be for the World's Fair of 1964 celebrating ‘Man’s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe.’  The 300 robotic, singing children represent this decently.  A lot of the criticism lies in its repetitiveness and how much the song stays in your head for hours or days after the ride.  I can surely get on board with all of the criticism.  But today I learned a whole new layer.  
My Dad's step father, an architect for Disney, designed the ride at Disneyland!  Later, when Disney wanted him to move to Orlando to help design Disney World, he said no.  Interestingly, with Disney considered to be an icon for capitalism, this man was a communist!
