Meet the World in Japan

Time for another attraction poster from the Tokyo Disney Resort. Meet the World was a Carousel of Progress type revolving theater attraction that was also planned to be duplicated at Epcot's Japan World Showcase pavilion. Interestingly, the Imagineers glossed over the nation's involvement in World War II. I'm sure they have also overlooked some sensitive pieces of our nation's history as well, so no offense taken. 

If you're curious to see more of what was planned for Japan in Epcot, take a look at this amazing article full of Imagineering art for attractions built and those left unrealized.
