What is Beautiful Tomorrow?
This publication gets its name from the lyrics to the song, “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow”, written by the Sherman Brothers for The Carousel of Progress. After Walt Disney passed away on December 15, 1966, it was said the Sherman Brothers viewed this song as Walt’s song. They expressed this belief because the song expressed Walt’s view on eternal optimism and promise for the future.
