Diane Disney Miller - Choice number 25 as a Disney Legend

I personally wanted to make sure Diane Disney Miller, the oldest daughter of Walt Disney, was in the top 25
of my list. She recently passed away, but I am sure here husband and children would appreciate her being named as Legend. She was the keeper of the Walt Disney flame, so to speak. she made sure that the true and accurate Walt Disney was presented to the public, not the one of myths or political hack jobs. Here are some of her contributions to the Disney company and the memory of Walt Disney himself:

• She organized and made sure the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco was opened in 2009.
• She and her sister, Sharon, have long been recognized as Walt’s inspiration for Disneyland, a place he created for families to have fun together.
• Disney Miller was instrumental in pushing ahead with the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The project was initiated with a $50 million gift from her mother in 1988, but was stalled for a time due to cost negotiations. Disney Miller ensured the original design by Frank Gehry went ahead, and the hall finally opened in 2004.
• She and her sister Sharon appeared in Walt Disney's first ever one-hour TV production called One Hour in Wonderland.
• She  was the wife of former Disney CEO Ron Miller.
• She published a series of eight pieces for the Saturday Evening Post in 1956 titled "My Dad, Walt Disney", co-written with Pete Martin.
• She was present at the Disneyland birthday celebration on July 17, 2005 where she read her father's original dedication of the theme park from fifty years prior.
• She appeared in or consulted on numerous Disney related documentaries and biographies, including Walt: the Man Behind the Myth.
• The film Saving Mr. Banks is dedicated to her memory (Disney Miller died shortly before it opened theatrically).

Candy Candido - Choice number 24 as a Disney Legend

Candy Candido had a distinct and famous voice in the last century. He first became famous for the phrase "I'm Feeling Mighty Low." His voice is a common fixture in both Disney movies and rides at the theme parks. Here are the highlights of his Disney Studios credits which clearly demonstrate his worthiness to be named a Disney Legend.

• Peter and the Wolf - Wolf
• Fun and Fancy Free - Lumpjaw
• Lambert The Sheepish Lion - Wolf
• Peter Pan - Indian Chief
• Sleeping Beauty - Goons
• Babes in Toyland - Trees
• The Jungle Book - Shere Khan's roars
• Robin Hood - Captain Crocodile
• The Rescuers - Brutus and Nero
• The Fox and the Hound - the Black Bear's growls (uncredited)
• The Great Mouse Detective - Fidget the Bat
• The Haunted Mansion (ride) - Prisoner
• Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - Devils
• Sleeping Beauty Castle walk-through - Goons
• Peter Pan's Flight Ride at them Parks- Indian Chief
• There is a controversy that is found on the internet about whether or not Candy did the noises made by the Raven in both Sleeping Beauty and the Haunted Mansion attraction.  Because of his incredible voice range and the fact that both ravens never had a voice actor listed, it is quite possible that he did do the sound effects for them, we cannot be entirely sure though.
• Candy was heard in Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color as an extra voice in the series.
• He is listed as a cast member in the film Herbie Rides Again. I have searched and cannot find what role he played. Maybe he did a sound effect?

• He had writing credits on perhaps a dozen Oscar and Emmy winning productions.
• According to Michael Barrier - Ted was one of the driving forces behind the idea of the Disney storyboard.

Eleanor Audrey - Choice number 22 for a Disney Legend Honor

Eleanor Audrey has voiced some of the most iconic Disney voices in the company's storied animated film history. It does sort of boggle the mind that she is not a legend already!
