The scariest thing about Disney world is your credit card after your trip

I think another part of the scare factor is having all this color but a very dark black background. The celling is also black which gave me a nervous feeling. I disliked having to feel like I was in this dark building. I wish they painted it a happy color.

The repetitive music can cause people to become paranoid. The backdrop behind the backdrop is just...pitch black. Some dolls have very jerky and stiff movements, unnatural movemnets on things that look semi natural can be creepy.

I think the creepiest thing is the knowledge that they don't shut the ride down after close. It just keeps running. C.R.E.E.P.Y.!

Now I have "Just because the dolls are not looking at you, doesn't mean they can't see you" thought stuck in my head. Are the dolls on the ride and mannequins in stores ALIVE and watching us?????? Argh, nightmare fuel. Remember, just because you are paranoid does not mean they are NOT after you. (insert evil laugh)

I am one of those weirdo's who actually thinks It's a Small Word is adorable. But I guess one thing that I do find kinda "creepy" is the lighting. it's somehow bright and dark at the same time. So you can't really see much. the colored lights cause everything to sort of blend in and the darkness is creepy because you don't know what is there. You can't really make out much at times because of the sensory overload, which causes people to internally panic and feel claustrophobic. If it were like a bright spring day with happy flowers and trees and you could see everything, I don't think it would be as "creepy". It's more overwhelming than creepy, but it is still kinda cute.

The creepiest thing to me is the doll in the hot air balloon that's holding the "help" sign

I don't think it's the song at all. Think about how much creepier it would be with no music

The creepiest part is the dark corners, ceilings and the dark water.😨

what usually makes me uncomfortable about this ride is something that people don’t really think of. I don’t like it because of the way the inside is structured. you have so much going on at a low level and then you look up and there’s so much blank space. i guess it takes me out of the ride and the fact that there’s so much space above me makes me feel weird. i don’t know why.

What I've noticed throughout this whole video is the lighting. It's mostly red, ominous, and not too cheerful overall. That really makes it weird.

Didn't one of the imagineers say he'd much rather be in the Haunted Mansion alone then It's a Small World...

It's a small world is alright

Doesn't Disney now sell shirts that say "I survived It's a Small World"?

It's probably because it's dark. All of the dark rides imo has a creepy atmosphere about them. If they wanted it to be bright and cheerful, then maybe they should've made it

The reason why I'm afraid of small world is only because I thought one time...ONE TIME... Of what it would be like if you fell out of the boat and began to drown. Just watching the dolls constantly singing and staring at you.

I mean, it could be creepy. Make the song slower and more ominous, make the whole ride darker and use red to light the inside, give the dolls more movements that highlight creepy things, then yes, it could be scarier than the haunted mansion.

In addition to the alarming number of creepy, moving dolls, I find the scenery to be quite eerie. There is too much happening, and the dark backgrounds and red lights don't help. Also, I didn't see it in this video, but there is a smiling sun above a tunnel that I find unnerving. A lot of the decorations are beautifully detailed and charming, but the overall feel is someone attempting to pack a boatload of happiness into a pit of darkness. And honestly, I like the song and find the different variations interesting. I believe the ride would be much creepier without the cheerful music to distract from the incongruities of the ride.

I have a love hate relationship with the dolls. One second they look cute but the next they’re creepy.

once, i got stuck on small world and was there for 30 minutes. the turned on the lights, and stopped the dolls but
