One of the most famous songs in history, “It’s a Small World” will be adding a third verse. Originally a short movie was released in Nov. 2024 explaining this, but now it is going to be added to the ride at Disneyland on July 17.
Mother earth unites us in heart and mind
And the love we give makes us humankind
Through our vast wondrous land
When we stand hand in hand
It’s a small world after all.
“As the legendary creators of some of the most cherished music of the past century, the Sherman brothers will be remembered for their profound impact on our global culture,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in 2024. “Hearing Richard Sherman recite the final verse to ‘It’s a Small World’ before he died will be a moment I will carry with me forever. This beautiful short film is our tribute to their immeasurable musical contributions, their memory, and to the countless memories they helped create for generations of people around the world.”
“It’s a Small World” made its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. It was then moved to Disneyland in 1966. The song has gone on to be considered the most publicly performed song of all time.
