Walt Disney Records continues to commemorate the Disneyland Resort 70thCelebration today with the release of the “It’s A Small World” (70th Anniversary) special edition vinyl and digital single. The single features a new verse presented to Bob Iger by songwriter and Disney Legend Richard Sherman in 2023 ahead of celebrating the song’s 60th anniversary in 2024. This iconic tune was originally written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman in 1964 for the attraction of the same name which debuted at the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. The song is performed by The Disneyland Children’s Chorus, executive-produced by Walt Disney Imagineering Global Music Executive Tricia Holloway and produced by Walt Disney Imagineering Executive Creative Director – Music, John Dennis and award-winning music producer Stef Fink.
The new lyrics which are referred to as the “Last Verse” are as follows:
“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.”
The artwork throughout the single features the face of the “it’s a small world” attraction’s world renown façade and smiling clock. The song featuring the new verse also premiered yesterday in the finale scene of the attractions at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. At Disneyland Resort, guests may also visit the Main Street Cinema to watch the three-and-a-half minute film “The Last Verse,” which originally unveiled the new verse. Walt Disney Records recently released the Music From Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration on streaming services and on the official Disneyland Playlist. The album features songs from Jonas Brothers, Boyz II Men, FITZ from Fitz and The Tantrums, Scott Hoying from Pentatonix, Anthony Gargiula, Grayson Villanueva, Topher Ngo and Flor de Toloache.
