Walt Disney Imagineering is sharing a first look at the characters from its new Marvel-themed overlay of It's a Small World.
It's a Small World With Groot debuts January 15, 2025 at Tokyo Disneyland. The overlay will run for a limited time, through June 30 next year.
Why Groot? As the park said, he and "his other Super Hero friends are visiting Earth for vacation."
I mean, if I had a super-human ability to go anywhere on vacation, I would put Tokyo Disney high on my list, so that seems legit to me. Here's that look at some of the Super Hero friends that WDI is creating for the ride.
This will be the first appearance by Marvel characters in a ride at the Tokyo Disney Resort, following the end of Universal Studios Japan's license for Marvel earlier this year.

PLEASE don’t do this in California.
This is pretty cute if kept limited as sort of a "Where's Waldo" situation where the additional characters are hidden in a few scenes here and there. I think the original installation of the attraction in California is untouchable for something like this, though it does get a Christmas overlay, which purists probably still grumble at.
Never say never when it comes to Disney.
Geez, folks losing their minds on a cute little overlay for one international park. Doubt they'd use it in WDW due to the rights stuff but it looks fun.
“it’s a small universe…”?
