Many people throughout the years have been referred to as “Disney Legends,” usually based on their close proximity to the company or for working on multiple projects with them. But starting in the late 1980s, becoming a Disney Legend was something that would actually happen – you’d get a statue and a golden, lifetime ticket to all of the Disney Parks and your handprints would soon be immortalized in Legends Plaza, an area on the Disney Lot in Burbank (formerly the reflection pool for the masterful Team Disney Burbank building designed by postmodern architect Michael Graves). In recent years, a lavish ceremony has been added to the D23 Expo, the all-Disney version of Comic-Con, that happens every two years in Anaheim.
While this year’s inductees have yet to be announced, we have some ideas about who should be honored this year:
Robert A.M. Stern Disney
Like Graves, Stern is...

Keep seeing ads for ABC's new Christmas special Prep & Landing, premiering Dec. 1, and find yourself hoping (more than an adult has a right to) that it's as cute as it looks? Good news: It is. It's got the heart and charm you'd expect from exec producer John Lasseter and a pitch-perfect voice cast: Dave Foley is an elf named Wayne who, after 227 years on the elite team that prepares homes for Santa's arrival, gets passed over for a promotion and finds it hard to show the same enthusiasm as his new rookie partner, Lanny Patrick, (Men in Trees' Derek Richardson).
