The Walt Disney Company Names 2004 Disney LegendsThe Walt Disney Company today named the 2004 Disney Legends, recognizing individuals who have contributed creativity, innovation and imagination to Disney's rich heritage.
Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Michael D. Eisner presided over the ceremony, which takes place each year at the Disney Legends Plaza at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, Calif.
Since 1923, The Walt Disney Company has been comprised of a collection of talented people who, through many disciplines, have turned dreams into magic.
The 2004 Disney Legends are now among 160 actors, film makers, animators, composers and creative people who have been honored since 1987, when Eisner first established this program of distinction and merit, and actor Fred MacMurray received the first Disney Legend designation.
"Walt Disney's legacy has continued through the passion, creativity and dedication of the individuals recognized today," said Eisner. "We owe so much to this group that represents the best of Disney - their work is the arc that connects Disney's history with our success today."
Honorees participated in a handprint ceremony, creating imprints that will be permanently displayed in bronze at the Disney Legends Plaza. In addition, the honoree or the family of posthumous recipients received a two-foot-tall bronze Disney Legends Award sculpture.
