D23 Legends 2026

Project Overview

The D23 Legends Ceremony is Disney’s signature celebration honoring the artists, performers, and visionaries whose work has shaped The Walt Disney Company and its legacy. Held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, the 2026 ceremony honored a star-studded class including Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Jonas Brothers, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Bob Iger. The large-scale live production blended theatrical lighting, immersive video, musical performances, and broadcast-quality production to create a distinct visual world for each tribute while maintaining a cohesive look across the ceremony.
