Disney Imagineers are considering changes to Small World that include adding Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Peter Pan, Belle, Simba, Nemo, Lilo and Stitch to locations throughout the ride while replacing the Papua, New Guinea, rain forest scene with an American tribute, reported MiceAge’s Al Lutz.
On one hand, as Disney fans, it is understandable that one doesn't one to see an attraction as beloved as "It's A Small World" to change that dramatically. After all, it is a classic, and it is not as if it has gotten less popular and not drawing crowds.
But on the other hand, we've been arguing on how the Imagineers have been handcuffed during the Eisner regime and not being allowed to be as creative as they could be. If Walt's philosophy of Disneyland (and other Disney theme parks) to continue to change and will never be "finished" is to be followed, then change is a constant process, and that includes the attractions.
It is how these two are balanced is what makes it difficult.
