Based on the writings of psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, Everybody Rides the Carousel invites the viewer along on eight rides through the different stages of life. It reflects the inner feelings and conflicting emotions experienced during each stage of personality development. John and Faith Hubley successfully visualize the conflicts, joys, problems and delights we all experience.

Part I: The joys and fears of Infancy, Toddlerhood & Early Childhood.
Part II: The challenges and conflicts of School Age, Adolescence & Young Adulthood.
Part III: The years of maturity - Adulthood and Old Age.
