wed enterprises
the first incarnation of it's a small world, which debuted at the 1964 new york world's fair, was an afterthought and nearly did not happen. ford and general electric had engaged disney early on to create their pavilions for the 1964 new york world's fair. wed enterprises had already long been at work developing a "dancing-doll" designed to reproduce human movement resulting in a crude early audio-animatronics fashioned as abraham lincoln when the state of illinois approached disney to create the illinois pavilion, representatives of the state instantly approved after being "introduced" to the robotic figurehead. a nine wide-screen "circlevision 360°" exhibit for kodak's pavilion was also being planned as an improvement over the existing disneyland eleven 4:3 format screen "circarama" (which later failed the installation deadline for opening) when pepsi approached disney with a plan to tribute unicef.
