- The best secrets and history of It's a Small World. Our story will focus quite a bit on its development for the 1964 Worlds Fair.
Many people are aware that Small World was built for the Worlds Fair, but did you know that it wasn't originally in the plans? Or that it's possible we owe its existence to Joan Crawford!?

My favorite part is that Disney and Unicef never copyrighted the song because it was a "gift to the world." To me that really shows how the world unifying theme meant to them.

what if some jerk discover this and copyrighted it.

The first time i went to Disney was in 1993 and i remember my grandfather took me to Small World many times....he sang it in Italian and spanish... Was beautiful... I miss him so much....
Miss Mean I am sorry for you loss. He is probably riding his favorite ride in heaven now.
sorry for your loss man
NOW THIS MADE ME CRY
OH HELL NO IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO WHEN THEY STARTED PLAYING THE MUSIC MY LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING

Shanna creepy
Desiree Sanchez 😂👀😂
Yandere Chan hi ayano
Shanna F*** this s*** I'm out!
Small World mesmerized me as a child, especially outside whenever the clock chimes. I fully believed that building was magical. The chime has a Sherman Brothers theme of its own complete with Wonka-esque sound effects and a royal fanfare. I didn't know Walt himself conceived of the clock. No wonder it's so awesome.
I actually LOVE the "America" room because of the 3 Navajo native Americans on the cliff. It was really cool of them to add since ironically people don't usually think of them when they think of 'Merica.
+Francis Bonnefoy 24601 they tend to think about gunslingers
The room may represents Arizona/New Mexico
I love the Hawaiian Room,
My friend Jorge bought me a beautiful Small World doll for my late Christmas present she is my favorite doll I'm so glad that I have her
Who else thinks they should've added Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove in the South American room?
Hylian Hero and moana and maui in hawaii
Correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am, but I don't think they're from Hawaii.
@@MisterBurgerBeachball They're in a Polynesian area, I believe,
@@secondman Correctimendo!
Well Disney doesn’t seem to like emperors new groove very much. I am surprised they added Mulan since it’s seems Disney doesn’t want to sell very much merch.
I don't know why people always are so creeped out by this ride. I think it's really enjoyable!
The Clock Tower is one of the best first bosses in any game ever, and is a perfect way to solidify how the paint and thinner mechanic works in players' minds. It's also fucking terrifying.
its a small world is my fave ride ever there and it means so much to me its kinda sad when people say its anoyying and scary but they dont realize how much thought and work was put into this walt is amazing and i have soo much respect for him and the ride. i mean the music is sooo pretty and when ur in the ride and when u listen to the lyrics of the song u just understand and Remember when u were a kid that this is exactly what it was like when i was and maby u were a little kid we used to look at the world so different then how adults did and we always thought it was magical and crazy XD
Sorry for replying so late but I totally agree with you. I like to keep on the surface of Disney rumours and only see it as one of the best parks in the world!!
minty truffle .
exactly!
minty truffle YASS! Finally someone agrees with me! This ride brings back so many memories and I LOVED this ride as a child and I still do. I can't get enough of it. I ride it like twice in a row before my parents tell me they want to do something else. I love the song and the dolls are really cute! 💖😊
Ireland (green + shamrocks), Scotland (tartan and bagpipes), The Netherlands (wooden shoes)...many countries not mentioned are specifically called out on the attraction.
I made a paper model of the It's a Small World clock and facade, there's music and effects that I use in it. I've shown it off at Autism fairs, museums, and other places. I also got a 1st place award for it at an art contest! FRESH BAKED!!!
who remembers epic mickey? and the boss fight for this ride.
Nobody.
I do!
Who the flying fuck remembers Epic Mickey?
I was alive when it came out and got the game....?
Used to love it
I first rode "It's a Small World" in 1964 at age 4 at the New York World's Fair. I then rode it again in 1967 at Disneyland, having forgotten the 1964 experience. I experienced serious Deja Vue on the ride. It wasn't until taking my own kids through It's a Small World in 2005 at WDW that I remembered that I had first ridden it in 1964.
I actually like having this characters on the ride. I always forget they were added then get surprised when i see them. I don't think it takes anything away from the experience. The holiday overlay is probably my absolute favorite aside from the haunted mansion. Great video Dave!
Small World is my faaavorite ride! It brings me right back to my childhood every time I ride it. So nostalgic :)
When ya hear that song, you only think of one thing and one place... Me : My nightmares?
I love these kind of videos :) love the history of disneyland almost as much as the park and attractions themselves. Thanks fresh baked!
The Philippines are also represented! There is a single female doll in traditional Filipino clothing awkwardly placed between Ariel and Australia, in the same room as the Polynesian and Hawaiian dancers. She used to have a male to dance with, but he disappeared a few years ago, mysteriously.
Zoe Rosie I never noticed that! BTW I'm Filipino !
I'm surprised he didn't mention the incident where a young boy was found hanging in the rafters of this ride. I'm not entirely sure exactly when this eerie and tragic incident happened, but it would have been cool to hear him talk about it. Afterall, it is a serious incident that occurred in this ride, and incredibly terrifying and sad, especially considering no one ever found out the true cause of the kid's hanging.
I don't comment on urban legends.
FreshBakedDisney Makes sense.
It was from a cheap copy ride in some Chinese theme park. You can find it on UA-cam.
Floran Iniguez ahh, so it wasn't even from a real Disney theme park? Okay, I'll see if I can find the copy ride. Thank you for informing me.
the hanging child happened in 1999 i did a history report on it for my history class.
I went on that and I was singing that damn song for two weeks without even thinking about while doing everyday things. In gym class I was running around the football field and I was STILL SINGING IT
Yep. That's what happens to me every year that I go. It's kind of a tradition to go on It's a Small World every time(unless it's closed) and we always have to get at least (and only) one ride. Every year that damn song just sticks to my brain. That song is such an ear worm. It'll just implant itself into your brain and continuously repeat.
One of my favorite attractions. By the time you reach it in Disneyland, the cook sit down adventure sure hits the spot. Remember Disney doesn't call them rides. They're attractions.
Can you eventually do a secrets and history for Thunder Mountain Railroad? I would be very greatful. Also... FRESH BAAAKED#
+Pinkie CupcakePie definitely planning to. we hope to do them all eventually.
FreshBakedDisney awesome! Thanks for the reply. :)
I love that ride
Me too :)
Mr. Random One of my favorites matter of fact, besides Haunted Mansion :)
Great video, Dave! I like the concept of It's a Small World and Pirates and how the lines move extremely quickly because of the style of ride through. I think there should be at least one more of this kind of ride at Disneyland, personally. It would take the edge off of the entire park during the exceptionally busy seasons. It's amazing to me that ALL of those holiday decorations go up in ONE night... simply unbelievable. One thing I think Disneyland should have changed are the bright blue half tubes the boats go around in. I think it makes the ride look a bit cheap, for when it's quite the opposite.
I never noticed the moon and sun in each room before! I will have to take note exit time I ride it. :D
I only really noticed Woody and Jessie inside. I never knew there were tons more Disney characters.
Also I heard a rumor that somewhere in the ride, it's hard to see but there's an animatronic that's supposed to look like Walt Disney. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
really, well in all fairness i have probably been to disneyland more than 30 times
KSI Classy III
And have you ever seen one that looks like Walt?
true
Cathy Hawley
Do you have more information?
+Combustiblemonguy well he's toward the end
REALLY nicely done, David. A beautiful tribute to a true icon of Disney history.
Robert J. Holtz Thank you Robert!
Today it has an appearance in the movie Tomorrow Land in the World's Fair.
"even the bushes go threw training"
Everytime. Gets me.
I went to Disneyland for the first time ever as a 25 year old in France and without even knowing much about the history behind the ride, it's a small world became my absolute favourite ride. It made me so happy that I rode it twice when I didn't really have time for all rides and I still listen to the song on a regular basis.
Love these 'secrets' videos! Would love to see more!
Thanks for this video! I love rolly crump & mary blair. And i always love to hear stories about the Disney connection to the 64-65 worlds fair :)
One of your best videos to date! More of these, please!
This is great backstory on "It's a Small World". Disneyland is MY LAND. Mr. Disney said so when he opened the place in 1955. I was there with my dad at age 3.
Omg i love these history of attraction videos!!!!!
Best I've ever seen!!!
Loving these videos!!
Nicely done, Fresh Baked. 9 minutes of my time well spent.
One part most people miss is that some of the Disney Characters has motifs of the songs played by them. You can here “I Got No Strings” next to Pinocchio, and several others.
Wow I learned a lot! Thanks for the video freskbakeeedd!
Zazu: It's a small world after all....
Scar: NO, NO, ANYTHING but that...
I love these feature videos, David! Keep 'em coming!
Great episode. Like the incorporation of the history and secrets of the attractions.Would love to see more!
I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the remainder of the night. Great job on the video.
The song "it's a small world" was nice. When I heard it today, I quickly searched it up. I heard the song in preschool, Disney did a good job on the song.
The only disneyland ride that can give you nightmares.
Amen
Example: Check out the Clock Tower boss theme in Epic Mickey.
+Marty McMole (Formerly The Organization XIII) My god, or the Kingdom Keepers books. If you've read it, you'll understand what i mean.
Those books are cool but... Would rather work on a radio show styled thing for a twilight zone parody/tribute. :D
+Silver64 What about phantom manor? That gave me nighmares!
My father was part of the original construction team on this ride. As a kid, he would tell me how in the final weeks/months of construction, the soundtrack would play continuously. He grew so sick of hearing it, that he refused to go on the ride with us when we would visit.
Whilst at DL two years ago, we (three kids, the Male Unit and myself) got stuck in the ride for about 20 minutes. Every time the song started over again, I got the most insane case of the giggles! I also got some good photos, since we weren't in motion.
Disneyland: even when things go wrong, it's fun.
this is my fav ride i loved it.
Awesome.
Love it! Please do more of these "Secrets and History" videos for rides.
Hahaha Awesome!! I guess I had some good timimg on my question. Love these. Thanks David.
Awesome job David! Very informative. Thank you.
I remember we went to Disney world when I was younger and this ride was my favourite, but one time we rode it and the ride got stuck. So for about an hour we were stuck listening to the small world song 😂😂
Wow i never knew any of this .i love this
Nice going, you had your facts straight, you added a bit of humour, great vid
Subbed
Awesome video, great Disneyland history!
MrDisneyfanman Thank you!
Wow! This is the best documentary ever
Aaaaaand it stuck in my head
You didn't explain the reason why some people think that the thing hanging from the ceiling is a boy that committed suicide and why other people think it's a doll.
That wasn't from It's a Small World ride.
Marianna Smith Really?
Well it was, but it was technically a rip off of the Disnetly Ride. The ride that rip the song was It's a Small Wotld After All, but in China. Disney should just sue them people. The video is here on youtube if you want to know what I mean.
Marianna Smith Oh
Yep Alexis Styles-Rainies-Thompson
I really enjoyed the secrets and history, please, please , please do more of these. Great video and so full of knowledge
brittany121491 More are to come.
Hooray!
VERY INTERESTING!!!!!!!!
Good job David!!!!!!
Great video :)
I love your emphasis on how the bushes go through training lol ! ;]
Thank you, I would love to learn more about all of the attractions at Disneyland.
"When you hear that song, you can only think of one thing & one place."
Killing things & Hell?
+DracoRogue1218 no just no
Very interesting!
Woo more of these plz
I have been to Disneyland twice in my life, and both times It's A Small World was closed. I hope that then next time I am able to go to Disneyland I can ride It's A Small World!
Love your videos can you do more Disney hacks our family loves them, thanks
I enjoy this ride every time I go! It's amazing that this ride exists across the world in Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong. Sometimes it's odd to look up videos of the Disneyland version in the 90s and you hear the Paris soundtrack playing (and you see the white facade in pastels). I listen to the DL soundtrack, Holiday overlay soundtrack, the Eurobeat version (and Ducking Hardcore Mix), the broken sounding rendition from Epic Mickey, and the Epic Mickey music that plays during the boss battle against the clock.
Why did this just show up on my feed as a video to watch (not complaining). As I have already seen it lol. I think I have only missed a very few amount of videos from Fresh Baked!!
That was a good video! I would have liked to hear more of the dark history, but overall, this was informative and enjoyable.
I never knew it has s holiday overlay till you guys talked about it last week
The sickest/awsome video ever!!!!!
Don't forget about Lilo and Stitch! 😀
BEST RIDE EVER!!!!
im kinda sad they didn't keep Pirates of the Caribbean as a walkthrough! that would've been so cool!
I just went yesterday and also saw the following countries represented as well: Spain, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Holland, Germany, Scotland, Egypt. There might be more, but those were the ones I was able to identify.
I love it
Fun fact about the gold leaf, in his book, Rolly said they pretty much used up the U.S's gold leaf supply so they had to get some Germany but it tarnished but luckily the US had enough to order again.
I LOVE this. So much. So so much!
How do you feel about the Disney characters being put into the ride, Dave? I just recently realised that where you see each character, along with the Small World song, there's an underlay of a "theme song" that corresponds with the characters movie (ie Alice has "In a World of My Own" and Aladdin has "A Whole New World") and I love it lol
tabitha toles I'm ok with it. I can understand though why some would think it crass though. But it doesn't bother me.
Watched!! Love #FreshBaked!! #FBMuffins4Life #FBStreetTeam
Can you do more of these history videos they are great!!!
Michael Burgower Yes, we will be doing more. They just take longer to produce than the regular videos.
ok thanks for the amazing videos they are awesome!!!
Love the song
It's good when they have different instruments doing different arrangements. When the same style is repeating endlessly, it can get very annoying.
aaaaaahhhhh now I'll never get that song outta my head
Please Please Please Do a Secrets and history on Splash Mountain!
KydeyadaPlays MC I will be eventually.
Thank You!!!!
Haven't been on it in many years, but I'm sad to hear that they've added Disney characters to this classic ride.
I know... very sad and disappointing. The point was a world outside of those characters where all children belonged. Sigh.
Hey Fresh Baked!!
my cousin worked there at night and the music was of and all you see is the dolls mouths moving
Actually, I have been to the Disney in France, and Pinocchio is the most common character to be seen. If Pinocchio was Italian, then the French wouldn't of sorta worshipped him. At the park, they even had multiple Pinocchio floats!
I love small world ride fresh baked !!!!!! Size the day
It would be really cool of you did secrets and history of Pirates
The song was actually, secretly developed in 1942 as a way of breaking Axis Spies and POW's. Most could only take 10-15 minutes of hearing THAT SONG before giving up all their secrets.
Wow
the first time I went to small world when i was 3 with my mom I was terrified and started screaming in the whole ride although she never knew the reason y but now I think I do...
With so much crap on youtube, thanks for a non suruppy video! Good to hear that one of my favorite rides has even better wheelchair access- i should trek down there and check it out. Last time i was on that ride was when i was 7 (when my Dad carried me on- a very long time ago). Not too crazy about the addition of the Disney characters- don't we get enough of them outside the ride??!
Hey Dave. You didn’t mention that in addition to removing the old fantasyland train station . They rerouted the RR track and berm to the north to create the fore court and que for the attraction as well as putting the show building out side the new berm. The pathway between the fantasyland theatre and Casey jr. RR was the original 1955 routing on that side of the park.
Dunno if anyone has previously listed these. Try as I might, I can find 30 characters rather than 37 (which most sources list as the number, including FreshBaked :D ). They are: Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Alice, White Rabbit, Cinderella, Jaq, Gus, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Aladdin, Jasmine, Abu, Magic Carpet, Mulan, Mushu, The Three (+3) Caballeros, Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Ariel, Flounder, Dory, Nemo, Lilo, Stitch, Jesse, Woody, and Bullseye.
If someone knows the additional 7 (if they exist), I'd love to hear them! Great job, FreshBaked. Keep it up!
Please do a Secrets and History of Alice In Wonderland ride?! Also, I love #FRESHBAKED!!!!
Been watching you guys since last December when i got a pass! keep up the good work!
I have subscribed because of the Secrets and history series and please do the secrets and history of The Pirates of the Caribean ride please! (Sorry if i spell something wrong)
