If these 2 essential parts of Disney history aren't on here, I'm wonder who else isn't. Who do you guys feel should be honored as a Disney Legend but isn't on this list yet?

[OogieBoogie]

Another one I just thought of... Ed Wynn. He was in Son of Flubber, That Darn Cat, The Absent - Minded Professor, The Gnome-Mobile, Mary Poppins (he sang my favorite song in the whole movie), The Golden Horseshoe Review (on TV), Babes in Toyland, and Alice in Wonderland.

[OogieBoogie]

I just noticed that one other big name that isn't on there. If it weren't for the time, effort, contributions, and soul that this man put into what he did, it all would have become a novelty to be lost in the pages of history.

His name?


Walter Elias Disney.

How about Ruth Shellhorn?

Edgar Bergan. Close friend of Walt's, appeared in a couple films and TV specials (including the hosting duties on Operation Wonderland, Walt's first TV special)... I've got a picture in a 50+ year old out of print book called "The Stereo Realist Manual" that Edgar Bergan took with his Stereo Realist Camera of Walt and their families playing on Walt's backyard train.

May not have done a whole lot with the company, but he did do some important contribution.

How about Jodie Foster?

Her feature film debut was in Disney's Napoleon and Samantha. She was also in One Little Indian, Candleshoe, and the original Freaky Friday.

[disneytim]

And, love him or hate him . . . Michael Eisner. The company was saved under his leadership . . . until he started to believe his own press clippings.

Of course, just to piss of Eisner, why not the little midget, Jeffrey Katzenberg? He deserves as much credit for Disney's resurrection in the '80s and '90s as anybody.

Frank Wells is already in . . . only makes sense.

[OogieBoogie]

OK, please correct me if I am wrong about this. Maurice Chevalier is on there but the only thing he did for Disney was to record the title song for 'The Aristocats'. What gives? If this is the case then shouldn't Roger Miller be on there for doing 'Whistle Stop' for Robin Hood (song that later got adapted into 'The Hampster Dance')

[Disney Wrassler]

Roy O. Disney & Walt Disney are missing.

[OogieBoogie]

I'm also suprised that Margaret Kerry isn't on there. She was the model for TinkerBell. Also I'm suprised that the lady who was the original Tinkerbell for Disneyland isn't listed either.

[sediment]

I guess you have to have done something significant, in a legendary classic film or park attraction. I mean, Zack Braff shouldn't be getting his hopes up.
I don't know what gives for Chevalier, though. Oh, never mind: I checked the link, and he's done more than sing for Disney.
