The Last Verse

Overview

Award-winning songwriting duo Robert and Richard Sherman wrote some of the most classic scores in history, including Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, and the most-played tune around the globe, “It’s A Small World.” As his last contribution to Disney and to further influence the song’s message, Richard wrote a third, final verse for “It’s A Small World.” In this short film, in honor of the song’s 60th anniversary, we follow the track as it travels across the globe, passing from one person and generation to the next, until the final verse is revealed.
