D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event wrapped up its second night with a show-stopping performance for “Horizons: A Carousel of Progress.” If you caught it live at D23, on Disney+, or even just on social media, you probably want to experience that incredible musical medley all over again!

We all know Neil Patrick Harris loves a grand opening, and he delivered! As the lights dimmed and the “Horizons” presentation began, he led an unforgettable, star-studded show. What a perfect way to celebrate the night’s theme than with a song honoring the legendary Audio-Animatronics figures throughout Disney Parks?

Carousel of Progress features some of Disney’s most iconic Audio-Animatronics. But the performance didn’t stop there; it also gave nods to classics like “it’s a small world,” DJ Rex from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Neil’s dream for the night? Becoming a Disney Parks Audio-Animatronic himself! He kicked off the song by saying, “I bet everybody here has that one special Disney role meant just for them,” which really resonated with the crowd.

Neil wasn’t alone! Comedian Tig Notaro appeared as Abraham Lincoln – and later, the Yeti from Expedition Everest! We also saw Megan Hilty as Madame Leota and Jack McBrayer as the Caretaker. Musical theatre stars Skylar Astin and Darren Criss joined in, playing pirates and even hitchhiking ghosts! Plus, Disney Legend Paige O’Hara, the voice of Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, made an appearance, along with a surprise cameo from Disney Legend and former Imagineer Joe Rohde. Talk about a star-studded cast!

The new song featured a fresh melody, but keen ears also caught familiar tunes! You definitely heard snippets of The Sherman Brothers’ “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow,” that super catchy theme from Carousel of Progress. “Part of Your World” from Disney’s The Little Mermaid and “Belle” from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast also made an appearance. The lyrics beautifully guided us through the history of Disney Parks Audio-Animatronics, all backed by the live band, The Phoenicians, and an energetic dance troupe.

Get ready for an “animatronic roll call”! This song was absolutely loaded with Easter eggs and tributes to Disney Parks attractions, lore, and even pop culture. Can you spot them all?

IN THIS GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL WORLD, OR LAND

THERE’S A JOB THAT’S WAITING FOR ME

WHERE THE AIR IS SWEET AND THE SOUND’S PRE-PLANNED

AND ADMISSION IS PERPETUALLY FREE

A ROLE THAT LASTS FOREVER

WITH NO BAD DAYS WHATSOEVER

PART OF HISTORY

WISH I COULD BE…

ANIMATRONIC

WHERE LIFE IS A RIDE

ENTERTAINING ALL DAY

WHILE AIR-CONDITIONED INSIDE

ANIMATRONIC

WHERE LIFE IS A BREEZE

I’D NEVER FEEL MY AGE BECAUSE I’D HAVE ROBOTIC KNEES

I’D SPEND ALL DAY GREETING FANS

WITH GUTS MADE OF GEARS

WHILE THAT SAME SYMPHONIC MUSIC PLAYS ON LOOP IN MY EARS

I’D LIKE TO BE A DISNEY ANIMATRONIC

AND LIVE MY LIFE ON A RIDE

ANIMATRONIC

I’D LIKE THE ROUTINE!

EACH DAY IS THE SAME AND EVERY NIGHT I GET CLEANED

AND SINCE MY JOB IS ICONIC

THEN I’D NEVER BORE

JUST TAKE IT FROM AN A-1 MODEL WHO’S BEEN HERE SINCE 1964!

ANIMATRONIC

YOU NEVER GET OLD!

NO NEED TO REHEARSE WHEN YOU’RE REMOTE CONTROLLED

I’D LIKE TO BE CATATONIC

BUT WIRED WITH GLEE!

YO HO YO HO AN ANIMATRONIC LIFE FOR ME!

RUM!

GOLD!

GOLD!

MAYBE I COULD BE A HANDSOME PIRATE GESTURING TO TREASURE

OR A PAIR OF SKULKING SKELETONS DEVOID OF EARTHLY PLEASURE!

NOTHING LIKE DEATH BECOMES HER!

IN THE ENDLESS HALLWAY I’LL SING MY TUNE

LIKE THE HATBOX GHOST YOU APPEARED TOO SOON

I CAN DANCE AND SCARE AS A HAUNTED HOST

WHILE WE DISAPPEAR LIKE PEPPERS

GHOSTS

HAPPY HAUNTS MATERIALIZE

AND BEGIN TO VOCALIZE

GRIM GRINNING GHOSTS COME OUT TO SOCIALIZE

I COULD DANCE ON MY SERVOS

OR GLIDE ON MY SLIDE

OR JUST CHILL IN EVEREST

BECAUSE MY MECHANISMS DIED

IT’S GREAT TO BE A DISNEY

ANIMATRONIC

AND LIVE MY LIFE ON A RIDE

ISN’T TECHNOLOGY AMAZING

SEE HOW THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS

HERE’S WALT HIMSELF, TRAILBLAZING!

I’D GIVE MY LIFE TO BE CRAFTED BY THOSE BOSS IMAGINEERS

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THERE THAT WASN’T THERE BEFORE

I COULD DJ LIKE REX!

OR BE A SMALL CHILD DOLL!

AND JOIN IN IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!

I’LL KEEP MOVIN’ I’LL KEEP TICKIN’

AND LIKE CARLOS WON’T BE CHICKEN

GRAB A KNIFE AND GRAB A FORK

WITH A CROONER FROM YU NORK

AND LIKE SKIPPY I’LL BE STATIONED

IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION

DON’T CARE IF I’M LAST GEN

OR ADVANCED LIKE KYLO REN

I’LL MOVE LIKE THE NA’AVI SHAMAN

UNLESS B-MODE IS MORE COMMON

BE A SCIENTIST WHOS FOXY

OR A GANGSTER FULL OF MOXY

I’LL IMPRESS, I’M UNPLUGGED

ASKING TOURISTS FOR WARM HUGS

THEN AT LAST I’LL LAST FOREVER AND

FOREVER’S WHAT IT’S WORTH

TO LIVE EACH DAY

THE EXACT SAME WAY

IN THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!

WHEN YOU ARE ANIMATRONIC

YOUR LIFE IS DIVINE!

YOU DON’T FEEL PAIN OR NEED THE

LIGHTNING LANE TO SKIP THE LINE

CAUSE WHEN YOU’RE ANIMATRONIC THE MAGIC’S INSIDE!

SO LETS GET ELECTRONIC!

IN STEREOPHONIC

NO NEED TO EAT OR DRINK

SO I CAN SKIP MY COLONIC!

ALL I WANT IT LIFE IS TO BE ANIMATRONIC!

ANIMATRONIC!

ANIMATRONIC!

ANIMATRONIC!

ANIMATR—

ANIMATRONIC!

AND LIVE MY LIFE

(THERE’S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW)

LIVE MY LIFE

(SHINING AT THE END OF EVERY)

LIVE MY LIFE ON A DISNEY

THEME PARK RIDE!
