It's a Small World, Indoor boat ride in Fantasyland, Disneyland, United States.

The attraction carries guests through illuminated scenes representing different regions of the world with singing animatronic children dressed in traditional clothing.

The ride debuted at the 1964 New York World's Fair as a tribute to UNICEF before moving permanently to Disneyland in California in 1966.

More than 300 animatronic dolls represent different nations, singing the theme song in multiple languages to promote international understanding between people.

The continuous loading system allows for efficient boarding, with boats moving steadily through the 15-minute journey across multiple rooms and passages.

The attraction's theme song, composed by the Sherman Brothers, holds the record as the most frequently performed song in the world.
