"What a Wonderful World" is a 1967 song by Louis Armstrong. It (not all of the lyrics) was featured during the climax of the 2016 DisneyPixar animated film, Finding Dory when Hank drives a truck headed to an aquarium in Cleveland into the ocean in order to release the fish inside it (especially rescuing Marlin and Nemo captured inside) while the voice of the MLI intercom narrates the final part of the Marine Life Institute, and in the teaser trailers of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Chicken Little, the latter of which parodies the teaser for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The song is played in the 1990 special, The Disneyland Story (not to be confused with the first episode of the long-running anthology series), set to a montage of clips of Walt Disney.

Lyrics[]

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day and the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Oh yeah...
