While accepting her honor from close friends Lindsay Lohan (who Seacrest noted has been in the Disney family since she was 10 years old) and Jodie Foster, Jamie Lee Curtis recalled her favorite Disneyland ride: Magic Kingdom’s Carousel of Progress.
As Disney fans flocked to the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. on Sunday evening for the Disney Legends Ceremony, one thing was clear: this was not the average award show.
“The Disney Legends Award is the highest honor our company bestows,” Disney CEO Bob Iger explained to the packed arena. “It’s presented as a celebration of talent, a recognition of achievement, and, above all, a sincere expression of our deep gratitude.” One hour into the ceremony a surprised hush fell over the audience as a platform raised in the middle of the floor to reveal four silhouettes. As the lights beamed on, the quartet in question was none other than The Dapper Dans, dressed in their barbershop best. The foursome harmonized the opening verse to “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” before the Disneyland Band kicked in on the main stage, accompanied by Mickey and Minnie Mouse who danced along.
