A little over a year ago, summer of 2023, Richard came to my office for a meeting
0:07
He wanted to discuss a special surprise that he brought with him that he wanted to give to me
0:13
Let me just say that there are moments in this job of mine at Disney that I'll remember for the rest of my life
0:21
But the one with Richard that day ranks pretty close to the top of memories of mine
0:27
Now Richard came to tell me that he had written a new verse to It's a Small World
0:32
and I still get the chills thinking about those lines that he shared with me
0:37
So before we start the show, I want to leave you with that special moment that I shared with Richard last year
0:45
He'd be so happy to know that even as he approached the end of his life
0:50
he was still creating magic that brings joy to all of you, the biggest Disney fans in the world
