Disney legend Richard Sherman, songwriter of ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘It’s a Small World,’ dies at 95 

Rip Richard Morton Sherman, you will be missed

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to the incomparable Richard M. Sherman, a Disney movie musical legend and composer who left an indelible mark on our hearts and imaginations. His iconic melodies and lyrics have been a staple of our childhoods and a source of joy for generations. With his brother Robert, Richard crafted unforgettable soundtracks that have become synonymous with Disney magic. His legacy will live on through the timeless classics he brought to life, and we will forever cherish the memories he helped create for us. Rest in peace, Richard M. Sherman, your music will continue to entertain, inspire, and delight us all.

At least this means that Richard will be finally reunited with his brother. They’re now making beautiful music together in Heaven.

RIP Sherman Brothers, you booth will be missed, you wrote great songs..

It will always be a "Small World" if we just recognize our similarities and respect one another. Thanks to Richard and his brother for writing such a memorable theme. I will always remember it when I take that boat ride as it enters into "It's A Small World" at Disneyland. Condolences to the Sherman's family and Disney fans worldwide.

Rest in peace and thank you for all the irreplaceable musical memories. Lots of love, hugs and kisses forever and always, from Madeleine McGregor from Australia ❤️💐😢

I remember when Robert died in 2012.

Rip to the Sherman brothers you guys are reunited together again Richard he will forever be missed. I will never forget when I heard your songs from Disney movies. They were pretty catchy. I was so thankful that you were in the post credits scene to Christopher Robin 2018 that was very amazing to watch your cameo your reunited with Walt Disney, you and your brother Robert will forever be missed

RIP Richard. You will always be my favorite songwriter.

A songwriting legend. So sad to hear! He will be missed!!!

Rip Richard Sherman may you reunite with your brother in the heaven.

"My Own Home" is my soul.

All time Legend...

I'm sad he's gone, but happy he's reunited with his brother, Robert.

I was lucky enough to see him in person and watch him perform several times and got to meet him and get a picture with him. Will cherish those memories..

"you cannot forget a Sherman brothers' song for your entire life" - John Lasseter

Brilliant songwriter, him and his brother wrote and produced 100s of songs for Disney and other movies. Including chitty chitty bang bang, which was not a Disney movie.

AN UNDERAPPRECIATED AMERICAN TREASURE

🕊️

RIP

Rest in peace Richard Morton Sherman thank you for all the songs you did for Disney and others films you you Robert Sherman did

RIP Richard now reunited with Robert and Walt. They were supercalifragilisticexpialidocious legends.

Songs that defined my childhood from the scores of Mary Poppins to Jungle Book to legendary rides like It’s a Small World The Tiki Room and so many others. What a giant and what a beautiful soul. We will continue to feed the birds in your honor.

Descanse en paz

😭😭😭😭😭

Rest in peace Sherman 😢

rest in peace Richard Sherman

They didn't want to say the song title because they were embarrassed to

Damn, 95 is a legendary age !

I didn’t even know how sick he was And how raspy his voice became

I now understand the legacy of the Richard S. Sherman he and his brother have left behind.

Good bye Sherman Brothers

There's a Small World movie? Man, the things Disney will cash-in on

baruch dayan emet the brothers are back together

Bummer

He and his Brother should have won an Academy Award for The Bedknobs and Broomsticks song Your at The age of not Believing and in know he was nominated for that song and I felt that way after 9/11 because I was in a new school didn’t know anybody at the time and as a Young man from New Jersey I should have watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks fun fact like Charlie in during in 2001 2002 I too was 11 going on 12 because maybe things would have been different after I saw that movie much earlier.

The Sherman Brothers set the Golden standards for what not only a Disney song should be, but what music in general should be like.

Another cherished household name from the 20th century gone. And another cherished household name who was Jewish. Did I have to say that? Yes, in today’s cynical world, I feel I must. Household names used to be household names which have now been replaced by “celebrities”: a rather vacuous and uninspiring word that goes hand in glove with the cheap and nasty entertainment we get today. So RIP Me Sherman. You were and still are a light in today’s grim, depressing world of entertainment. Household names are so named because they have earned the public’s affection. But we unfortunately don’t see it like that anymore, we don’t use the term. We take the greats from the past too much for granted, pocketing them like a handkerchief in case of emergency. Our focus on the grim today in the arts and entertainments and the politicisation of everything are not going to rescue the old good cheer of the West.

YES! Richard M. Sherman Is No More, Let's Celebrate And Party For Our Memorial Day Victory! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Rumor has it that he died of embarrassment... due to the wokeness that's overcome all things Disney.

If we all live to 95 we can all say we had a good life

As woke as modern Disneyland has become, I am shocked that they never banned these songs.
