"It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all"
"Ugh...this song is SOOOOOO annoying..." Roy groaned as the group traveled through the room filled with various, ethnic dolls on a boat.
"Hey c'mon, lighten up dude!" Annette slapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Walt himself wrote this song in order to unite all people from all around the world!"
"Yeah, but did he have to make it so...EAR WORM-Y?!" Roy replied.
"It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world"
"Meh, I dunno..." Cindi replied, finding herself humming along to the song. "I kinda like it..."

From outside the ride, Maleficent watched with an evil grin.
"Time for this happy little cruise...to take a different direction..." she sneered.
The evil fairy queen used her thin, green fingers to cast a hex onto the entire "It's A Small World" ride, with the kids and Cindi none the wiser.
——————
As the cruise continued to go through the various halls representing the different lands, the kids began to notice that very strange things were occurring.
"Uh, Cindi?" Annette asked. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but that...Chinese doll isn't supposed to be in...Africa...right?"
Cindi looked and noticed there was in fact a small Chinese boy. Gears were grinding as his head slowly turned around to face her and the kids. Then, the doll's eyes glowed blood red.
The ride instantly stopped, cloaking everything in darkness.
Suddenly, the music started up again, and the ride continued to move, but with one, major difference...it was pitch-black, and a thousand red eyes were now staring down the boat with Cindi, Annette and Roy.
"...what th—" Roy squeaked.
The red eyes of the small dolls started to get even closer to the kids and Cindi. Pretty soon, one of them approached Roy, and tapped him on the back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!" Roy screamed at the top of his lungs and shoved the doll into the water, making it short-circuit.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!" Annette and Cindi screamed as well.
"ABANDON SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!" Annette hollered.
"There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all"
The kids and Cindi jumped out of the boat and started running towards the exit. But a huge group of dolls pushed the enormous boat prop in front of them, pretty much blocking their path.
"Oh great, WE'RE TRAPPED!" Annette hollered.
"Not yet we aren't!" Cindi exclaimed, gazing up at an open vent in the ceiling.
"It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world"
But they didn't have much time to make it there.
Deadly, robotic dolls of every nation were approaching Cindi and the kids, each saying the same lyric in a menacing tone, each saying it in their respective language.
"Ni ulimwengu mdogo baada ya yote,
ni ulimwengu mdogo baada ya yote,
dunia yake ndogo baada ya yote,
dunia yake NDOGO, NDOGO!" The little African robot dolls exclaimed as they continued to malfunction, sharpening some spears and tossing them at the wall.
"Es ist doch eine kleine Welt
Es ist doch eine kleine Welt
Es ist doch eine kleine Welt
Es ist eine kleine, kleine Welt!" A little German girl doll exclaimed all of a sudden, approaching the kids and Cindi.
Suddenly, a small Mexican boy doll lunged out at the kids and Cindi. But the resourceful older woman held out her pickaxe, which was enough to restrain him.
"¡ES UN MUNDO PEQUEÑO,
¡ES UN MUNDO PEQUEÑO!
¡ES UN PEQUEÑO, PEQUEÑO MUNDO!!" The little Mexican boy doll exclaimed in a considerably deeper voice than before, electricity projectile-blasting from his neck.
"WHAT IS HE SAYING?!" Cindi exclaimed. "I DON'T SPEAK MEXICAN!!"
Annette and Roy both raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.
"Really, ya racist?" Roy asked, still holding the malfunctioning Mexican boy doll back. "Just cause we're Hispanic, you AUTOMATICALLY assume that we—"
"—SERIOUSLY WHAT IS HE SAYING?!"
"...okay...here's what it is...The same thing as the English lyrics, but in Spanish." Annette replied. "There. It's really not that hard."
"Didn't you know that already?" Roy asked Cindi. "I mean, you've been at the park longer than us.."
"—WE CAN CHAT LATER!" Annette exclaimed, climbing onto the enormous boat prop. "We gotta get up there! Grab my arm!"
Roy quickly grabbed Annette's arm, then Cindi pulled herself up into the vent as well. The kids rapidly crawled through the vent, along with Cindi, until they reached the other side, more specifically, in Adventureland.
"That...was weird." Annette replied. "I normally love that ride!"
"It doesn't usually function like that..." Cindi replied. "Unless...it was malfunctioning because of dark magic..."
