Sherman Brothers “The Last Verse” Will Premier on “it’s a small world” July 17th for Disneyland’s 70TH. We have talked extensively about Richard M. Sherman’s “The Last Verse” for the song ‘it’s a small world’, we were at D23 last year when the short video was premiered to the public for the first time at Jolly Holiday a Musical Tribute to Mr. Sherman. Then we saw the TV premier over Thanksgiving weekend, and now we know it will premier at Disneyland as part of the 70th Anniversary of the Park starting July 17th, 2025.
Originally, on May 16th, when Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary celebration began, “Walt Disney – A Magical Life,” was supposed to open. It has been pushed back to July 17th, the actual Parks Anniversary. With the new show on Main Street USA, a new museum will now be a part of the Main Street Cinema experience, along with “The Last Verse”.
Furthermore, the Disneyland attraction ‘it’s a small world‘ will get a small addition of the final verse “The Last Verse”, with no word on how the song will be incorporated, or if it is being sung by the children’s choir to match the soundtrack, but this is Disney and I am sure it will turn out amazing.
A Tribute to the Sherman Brothers, Coming to the Main Street Cinema: Inside the famed Main Street Cinema, you’ll get to see the story and impact of the famous songwriting duo, the Sherman brothers.
Here you can watch a heartwarming three-and-a-half minute film called “The Last Verse,” which celebrates the timeless connection and hope behind the Sherman brothers’ iconic song, “It’s a Small World.” Created for the song’s 60th anniversary, this film unveils a new verse written by legendary composer Richard M. Sherman in his final Disney contribution. In the spirit of the beloved song, viewers journey across the globe as the song is passed from person to person and generation to generation, culminating in the reveal of this heartfelt new verse:
“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.”
Additionally, we are honored to share that we will be premiering this third and final verse in the “it’s a small world” attraction at Disneyland, beginning July 17.
