Mickeyfan, your guesses are spot on! And wow, a lot of these are overdue!

My guesses for next year, based on yours:

The Lopezes
Jennifer Lee
Brenda Chapman
Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell
Josh Gad
Alan Tudyk (For voicing 3 characters in a row)
Ron Clements and John Musker
Jim Cummings
Emma Thompson
Tom Hanks
Bret Iwan
Jonathan Freeman (For playing Jafar both the movie & the show)

I think Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh will get in 2017 if there's no room for next year. P&F should be over that time, anyway and it would be a good memory. I also think Nathan Greno and Byron Howard will get in 2017, a year after Zootopia & Giants. I don't think Rich Moore earns it yet. WIR was a success, but not as successful as Frozen. And sadly, it has been swept under the rug, way too soon.

I would also love to see Susan Egan, Sierra Boggess, Jeremy Jordan, Adam Jacobs, and especially James MI (w/ his Tony), for originating Broadway roles based on beloved characters!

well I do believe johnny depp is over due. I mean he has been in a good number of Disney movies that brought in a large amount of money etc......

Eleanor Audley doesn't have a Legend award already ?! Thats crazy !! Two of the most iconic Disney villains, and ride voices !!

It was a shame Ming Na was missed, along with Irene Bedard etc when the Princesses were getting the Legend awards, yet Anika was included ? Seemed crazy. I'd love for Mandy Moore / Kristen / Idina to get one … but just seems a bit too soon ?

[disneyprincess11]

I'd love for Mandy Moore / Kristen / Idina to get one … but just seems a bit too soon ?

After what a huge surprising impact Anna and especially Elsa (and Let It Go above all) made, it's not soon at all for Kristen and Idina to get in.

[Atlantica]

With all due respect, I just think its way too early for them to be on it; there are people who have 'served' the company for years and years and still haven't got one yet …. I just don't think its very fair is all. I know they wouldn't give one without the other, but if anything shouldn't it be just Idina as she sings THE song in the film ? Frozen is huge and massive for Disney, totally and utterly, but I just don't think its fair to have them inducted already, if indeed thats the aim. Same for Mandy too; it would be nice to have all the Princesses have a Legend award, but for the latter half, they haven't done enough in my opinion, or been around long enough.

[Prince Edward]

"Disney Legend" are being used by Disney to promote new and upcoming releases. That's why they include famous actors who have only dubbed one movie for Disney or Pixar to get this award. It seems to have very little to do with what the people who receive it has actually done for the company.

[Atlantica]

Ahh I see Prince Edward, I guess that explains a lot then. Is that why the Monsters Inc voices were all included around the time of Monsters University ?

Its a shame they're doing that as it used to mean so much.

[MerPrincessJamie]

Pat Carrol
Susan Egan
Buddy Hacket

Sam Wright

[Atlantica]

Can't believe that they haven't got one !!! Pat Carrol is one of THE iconic villains !

Maybe they should have a Villain year … like they did with the Princesses and made most of them Legends.
