This is the opening song heard on the classic Disney attraction The Great Movie Ride.

The Great Movie Ride, one of the most beloved Walt Disney World attractions that opened back when Hollywood Studios was called Disney-MGM Studios in 1989, closed its doors forever on August 13th, 2017. It's a bit somber to think that the closing of this iconic attraction is the perfect metaphor for the end of a bygone era in Hollywood. Just like the classic movies it showcased, The Great Movie Ride will continue to live on in our hearts and minds, similar to Horizons, the Skyway buckets, or the original Journey Into Imagination, as a cherished and sorely missed piece of Disney Park history gone forever.
