Its a smal world

"it's a small world" is currently an attraction at Disneyland Paris. Like several other Disneyland attractions, "it's a small world" got its start in the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair, and after the fair closed the ride was transferred to Disneyland; when the other parks opened they, too, had versions of the ride. The attraction was designed by Mary Blair, who was also an art director on several Disney animated features including Cinderella and Peter Pan. Like many Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions, scenes and characters were designed by Marc Davis, while his wife, Alice Davis, designed the outfits of the dolls. The English language lyrics of the ride's theme song, which shares the same title, were written by the Sherman Brothers. When the song was first released, it was originally intended as a rather wistful ballad with a considerably slower tempo.
