Robert and Richard Sherman were a song-writing duo who specialized in musical movies. Their most recognizable works were for Disney films, both live action (The Parent Trap, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks) and animated (The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh). The non-Disney movies they wrote for – like The Slipper and the Rose and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – FEEL like Disney movies because of their influence. The Sherman Brothers also wrote music for Disney Park attractions, like There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and It’s a Small World. That last song is frequently referred to as the most performed song of all time. Shortly before he passed in 2024, Richard Sherman added a 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.”
