Disney Songwriter Who Co-Penned 'It's a Small World' Dies

Robert B. Sherman, the co-writer behind some of the most maddeningly delightful songs in Hollywood history including "It's a Small World," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," has died.

Sherman was 86. His son, Jeffrey, posted the news on his Facebook page but provided few details about the circumstances of his father's death. Jeffrey Sherman said his father's goal was to bring happiness to the world -- and Sherman did just that with songs he co-wrote for a slew of movies.

The songs were a cornerstone of films such as "Mary Poppins," "The Jungle Book,""Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "The Aristocats."
