DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
Walt Disney World attractions are often very elaborate presentations that feature hundreds of moving parts, and inside classic attractions like “it’s a small world,” it is a common experience to see at least a few of those moving pieces not operating properly. The most common example would be the one animatronic out of the set refusing to move in sync with the others.

But what about when one of those animatronics loses its head–literally?
Yes, at least two Walt Disney World Guests were riding “it’s a small world” when they noticed that one of the animatronics in India was completely missing her head. They posted a video of the scene to TikTok, which you can see below:

It is unclear at this time why or how this poor little dancer lost her head, and Disney Cast Member elected to keep the rest of her in the ride instead of removing her completely until she was all put back together.
We at Disney Fanatic have posted previously about issues with this classic attraction at Disney World and Disneyland, from other less shocking animatronic malfunctions to Guests acting out. But we also recently reported that the variant at Disneyland Paris Resort was one more step closer to reopening after its long refurbishment closure.
