A musical tour with children of the world. Walt and his team of Imagineers, led by artist and designer Mary Blair (who also created the huge multi-story murals on the Grand Canyon Concourse at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort), created it's a small world as tribute to the children of the world for the UNICEF pavilion at the 1964/65 World's Fair.
The Sherman Brothers, responsible for a big chunk of Disney music originally wrote the theme song as a ballad. Legend has it that Walt told them he needed something "peppy" that would last throughout the ride. It was decided that the song you love to hate was sped up and sung as a round. What you see today is very close to Walt's original attraction for the World's Fair.
The song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
