Mary Blair was an art director on several Disney animated features, including Cinderella, Alice In Wonderland, and Peter Pan. At the request of Walt Disney, who regarded highly her innate sense of color styling, Blair began work on Disney’s new attraction, “It’s a Small World” in 1963. Originally a Pepsi-Cola-sponsored pavilion benefiting UNICEF at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, the attraction moved to Disneyland after the Fair closed.
