Tokyo Disney Resort has provided further details on “it’s a small world with Groot”, which will be presented at Tokyo Disneyland Park from January 15 through June 30, 2025 featuring characters from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe designed in the endearing style of the attraction “it’s a small world.”

For the first time, “it’s a small world with Groot” will feature Marvel characters in an attraction at Tokyo Disney Resort. In this special, limited time version of the attraction, Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy and his other Super Hero friends are visiting Earth for vacation.

Tokyo Disney Resort also released video footage showing the crafting process of the Marvel characters to be featured in the attraction:

In the video, classic “it’s a small world” dolls are dressed as Marvel characters such as Black Panther, Captain America, Mantis, and Gamora. Other characters can be seen in different formats, such as Rocket Raccoon eating gelato in Italy, as well as Ant-Man and the Wasp riding a giant ant through the outback. There’s also multiple figures of Groot that will be featured throughout the different scenes of the classic ride. Based on the appearances of these Baby Groots, it seems that every Disney character in the ride will be temporarily displaced by Groot and his friends during this lengthy overlay.

A Groot holding an umbrella is seen above, possibly alluding to the character’s appearance in the rainforest scene of “it’s a small world” at Tokyo Disneyland.

As seen in the image above, a classic “it’s a small world” style doll represents Thor, while a Groot figure will be dressed as a member of the King’s Guard or a Beefeater for the U.K. section of the attraction.
