Sherman, together with his late brother Robert, won two Academy Awards for Walt Disney's 1964 smash "Mary Poppins" - best score and best song, "Chim Chim Cher-ee." READ MORE: abc7.com/post/richard-sherman...
I was at Disneyland yesterday and at some point in the day I randomly thought about him. I did not know until I got home that he had passed away. Shed a few tears. I was lucky enough to watch him perform at several events and got to meet him once and got my picture with him! A true legend. He will be missed but we still have his music to remember him by.
Disneyland may have been Walt's park, but Dick left an indelible mark on it. He and Bob wrote several memorable songs for the parks, like "Tiki Tiki Tiki Room", "One Little Spark", "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", and, of course, "It's a Small World". He may be gone, but his supercalifragilisticexpialidocious music lives forever.
So sad to hear Richard Sherman has passed away I will forever cherish all the wonderful music both he and his brother wrote for all the many timeless Disney films that delighted and brought joy and happiness to my childhood thank you Richard and may you rest in peace 👍😞❤️🕊️
Thank you Sherman brothers for your music in Once Upon a studio, Mary Poppins, The sword in the stone, The Aristocats, The Jungle Book, The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Your music will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
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.
Well this is quite a birthday present the universe decided to give me today. At least he and his brother are finally back together again creating new songs for those in the next world. May they both Rest in Peace.
He's forever the legend. This man brought happiness to billions around the world. May his memory be a blessing. I speak on behalf of all Disney fans across the globe, and he will be missed. Thank you, and RIP. And now, a moment of silence in respect and mourn the passing of Richard Sherman. (1928-2024)
The Jungle Book, The Sword In The Stone, Charlotte's Web, Snoopy Come Home, and The Tigger Movie has always been my favorite movies with The Sherman Brothers beloved songs, I was heartbroken when I heard Richard M. Sherman passing.
Rest in Peace Richard M. Sherman. You and Robert wrote some of the greatest songs of all time with "Mary Poppins" and alongside Kenny Loggins with "Your Heart Will Lead You Home", one of my favorite and absolutely underrated Disney songs of all time!
Richard Sherman will always be remembered alongside his Brother Robert as The Songwriters who give us so many Disney magic with songs from Mary poppins the jungle book it’s a small world and so much more what a great life he lived 95 years old rest in piece at Heaven.
One of the last people of that was part of Walt Disney's legacy... Gone... At least he's back with his brother, Robert and Walt. Thanks for the entertainment, Richard. 🫡
There were so many things I wanted to ask him about Walt and his friendship with him, but it looks like I'll never get that chance.😢 R.I.P, Richard.🙏🏻💔💐 Thank you for giving us a glorious childhood.
Earlier today I read that Mr. Sherman passed away. I was at Disneyland later this morning and went to the area in the hallway outside of Great Moments with Mr Lincoln , hoping to glance at the photo of Richard and Robert Sherman. Unfortunately, that area was blocked off by a curtain. I do hope that Disneyland does something special to honor them, and the music of our childhood memories
RIP Sherman Brothers. Thanks so much for giving us many catchy tunes and magical memories throughout The Walt Disney Company! Both of you will be sorely missed!
Rest in heavenly peace to Richard and Robert too. From Mary Poppins to the Jungle Book, from Winnie the Pooh to Charlotte’s Web, you have made our lives a whole lot more special and more fun. The songs you’ve helped create have resonated with me throughout my whole life and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for all the irreplaceable musical memories. Lots of Love Madeleine. ❤️💐
Jason Schwartzman portrayed Richard in “Saving Mr. Banks.” Great film! If you haven’t watched it, do it next time you have a couple hours of downtime! Jason did a splendid job of re-creating Sherman’s charm and wit! Condolences to Mr.
Let's also not forget he (and Bob) did the songs for Charlotte's Web, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Little Nemo, The Slipper and the Rose, an adaptation of Tom Sawyer, and a Direct-to-Video film called The Mighty Kong. All I'm saying is, he wasn't just under Disney's payroll.
We all shall miss you dearly, Richard M. Sherman. Same for you, Robert B. Sherman. Thank you for acquiring magical assistance and iconic fame with Walt Disney and his staff along with the rest of the company. Glad you, Richard, could make it to the premiere of The Jungle Book (2016) with your tie themed like the original because I saw that film to celebrate my birthday. I even enjoyed celebrating both the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World and the 100th birthday of The Walt Disney Company. Glad you were shown in Walt's office again for the scene-creations of Once Upon a Studio.
The Sherman brother were the little spark that made Disney movie so unique. Their songs were magical, inspiring and so beautiful. When I saw the last appearance of Richard, I cried beceause he seemed ill but also I was happy, at the moment, he was still with us ❤ So long Richard, up there, you will finally be able to make peace with your brother and play " Tupence a bag " for Walt 🎶🎵🎼
I miss Richard and Robert Sherman very much. They always worked together with Walt Disney. But the Sherman brothers will always be in our hearts forever.
One Of THE.."Nicest And Coolest" Person To Meet And Talk To ! -- He And His Brother .. Part Of Disney History !! -- Many Thank's .. For The Music ! 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
This brought a few tears to my eyes! My favorite song in Mary Poppins is "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"! (Yes, I spelled that on my own, by the way). The Sherman brothers were indeed Disney legends!
Man Richard and his brother Robert defined our childhood. I want to be like you from the jungle book is my favorite song as a kid rest in peace Robert You brought a lot of joy to people
The fact that Richard explains the Jungle book tie was a tribute to everyone who worked on the original Jungle book, including his brother/fellow songwriter Robert, really got me misty-eyed, because, not counting the actors who voiced Mowgli and the baby elephant (as they were young children at the time of the original film), Richard was the last person who worked on the original film who was still alive during the premiere of the live action version (this also includes the mother elephant’s voice actress and Walt Disney himself, both of whom died almost a year before the original Jungle Book was released (coincidentally, they died on the same day, according to Wikipedia)). My siblings and I grew up watching classic Disney movies with our parents during our childhood, and some of our favorite songs were written by the Sherman brothers (our mom personally loves Mary Poppins). Hearing of Richard Sherman’s death was really heartbreaking, and felt like losing a close family friend. RIP Richard Sherman, may you and your brother continue to make beautiful music in heaven
I remembered seeing the movies Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, The Sword in the Stone, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and The Aristocats on Disney plus. RIP Richard Sherman the composer of these movies and music.
🙁 Legend Yeah 🥺😭 He Is Legend Rest In Peace ☮️ Richard M Sherman And 😔Thank You For Everything Now You Must Go Join Your Brother Robert B Sherman In Heaven👼

Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman are bound to be on the Disney Iconic Legends board and their last name is also a paint store, the dentist and his niece from Finding Nemo and a member of Love Handel from Disney's Phineas and Ferb.
I'll always remember bob and dick sherman for many of their songs for disneyland disney movies and other movies like Charlotte's web, and Chitty Bang Bang.
I can’t believe it the last of the songwriting duo behind Mary Poppins Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang The Sword In The Stone Winnie The Pooh The Jungle Book and The Aristocats gone😢
Very good job dudes and well done!! Congratulations 996.6% yo throughout the 5th sizzling week of said marvelous May y'all. This man brought happiness to millions of people. May his memory be a blessing.
Richard was happy to wear a tie illustrating The Jungle Book (1967) to the premiere of the 2016 live-action/CGI adaptation directed by Jon Favreau and written by Justin Marks. Bruce Reitherman who voiced Mowgli the Man Cub in the classic film is revealed to be the son of one of Walt Disney's Nine Old Men, Wolfgang Reitherman; he took over the directing of the classic in place of Walt Disney after he died. The Jungle Book (1967) is the last of the Disney movies to feature Walt Disney's personal touch.
Also in 1967 besides the release of The Jungle Book and The Happiest Millionaire were another live-action mystery thriller film, The Reluctant Astronaut, the birth of Jamie Foxx and the Nereu Jacket from The Groovy Formal Collection.
Also in 1964 besides the release of Mary Poppins were the unveilance of the Carousel of Progress, the launch of Japan's bullet train system, the Shinkansen and Frank Walker's George Clooney attendance of the New York World's Fair to experience Tomorrowland.
To honor the Sherman Brothers along with Mary Poppins Special Edition and The Jungle Book Diamond Edition, time for there to be Pooh's Greatest Memoir.
Since Kaa the Snake and Winnie the Pooh himself were voiced by Sterling Holloway and later Jim Cummings, "Its a Small World" was sung for a short while by Zazu, Timon, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) and Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario).
Both Mary Poppins films are finally bundled together, but both animated The Jungle Book films ought to be next for a complete collection bundle, same for the Winnie the Pooh franchise.
