Inside the 2024 Disney Legends Ceremony: Miley Cyrus, Jamie Lee Curtis & More Best Music Moments

As Disney fans flocked to the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. on Sunday evening (Aug. 11) for the Disney Legends Ceremony, one thing was clear: this was not the average award show. (Perhaps the biggest spoiler was the abundance of Mickey Mouse ears.) 

The star-studded evening served as the finale to D23, a three-day event dubbed as the “ultimate” fan experience filled with panels, showcases and much more. And this year, the Legends Ceremony was the biggest yet with a class of 14 icons including Miley Cyrus, Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett and Harrison Ford. (The Disney Legends Awards started 37 years ago and has since honored over 300 legends).

This year’s ceremony, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, also enjoyed a handful of firsts, from becoming the first ceremony that will be available to stream on Disney+ (starting Monday, Aug. 12 at 2pm PT/5pm ET) to honoring its first costume designer in 12-time Oscar nominee Colleen Atwood to celebrating its youngest legend yet in Miley Cyrus.

“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.”

And while highlights included Harrison Ford telling fans, “I love the life you have given me,” Danny DeVito introducing his longtime friend, director and producer James L. Brooks (who co-created hit shows such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Simpsons) and Wakanda’s Dora Milaje helping filmmaker Ryan Coogler introduce Angela Bassett, the moments that stood out the most often involved one of Disney’s greatest assets: music.
