Tim Burton, using animated versions of the same cute/creepy kids in the ride.
We see the cute little children/mannequins of all nations and colors, in one world of many nations, enjoying a free and peaceful world. Then the evil empire (Texania), headed by the dreaded King Dub-ooo-ya, initiates a new "doctrine". Since "all of these bright colors and clothing are scary and different", distracting him from reading the funny papers, he declares that everyone should wear white and only white in Texania. As more colorful immigrants continue to come to Texania, he then decides to pre-emptively invade any country that continues to use these dangerous "Colors of Mass Distraction" ("CMDs").
After invading nearly every country in the world (except the "country" of Antarctica, because "they all wear black and white"), the world finally becomes the monotonous, white-washed, "New World Order" dreamed of by his father, King G.H. Dub-ooo-ya, I.
Eventually, after years of being forced to listen to masses of children dressed in all-white constantly sing annoying songs at ever-louder volumes, armies of and penguins and polar bears invade from the south and north, respectively. As they move across the landscape, they spray millions of gallons of paint, in all colors, over all they see. The colorful paint shakes the minions out of their doldroms, much like Rowdy Roddy Piper, upon first wearing the "special" glasses and seeing the "true" world in "They Live". Ironically, the paint came from the first Home Depot branch that the king had approved in the National Arctic Wildlife Refuge just months before.
In the climactic scene, the polar bears eat King Dub-ooo-ya alive, as he screams to them that "things are getting better", and points out to the the penguins that "you're are only feeding on the falling scraps of my entrails because I'm succeeding".
And the kids/mannequins all rejoice upon regaining their glorious colors, but the ones from Texania still sing the same annoying songs (albeit at a quiter volume and in better clothes). So as we move again into the peaceful, rainbow, world brought about by the demise of the evil king, the polar bears continue to keep a wary eye on the children from Texania.
