You will always remember this as the day
0:11
that you almost caught Captain Jack.
0:31
Because you made a phone call.
0:33
>> Don't let anyone take me out of the
0:34
water no matter what.
0:36
>> God help me if you're wrong. If I'm
0:38
wrong, when we're at war, God help us

A date which will live in infinite
1:02
You must stop belie [music]
1:32
Where is he? There he is.
1:39
After we finished Pyrus,
1:42
Jerry sent me a very expensive bottle of
1:44
champagne with a note that said,
1:47
"To toast when it passes the billion
1:49
dollar mark." I framed the note. It's
1:52
still hanging in my home. The champagne,
1:54
of course, well, that didn't make the
1:57
But as we know, the film made multiple
2:00
billions. And I've always loved that
2:02
story because it says so much about
2:04
Jerry. He believed, he knew long before
2:11
That's because in addition to being
2:13
passionate and brilliant, Jerry, you
2:26
You have this remarkable gift for
2:28
building worlds that forever live in our
2:31
hearts. You've expanded our imaginations
2:34
by transporting us into stories that
2:37
become part of culture. And your eye for
2:41
unmatched, if I do say so myself.
2:46
You assemble these casts that blend
2:49
together with such chemistry that allows
2:52
audiences to get lost in your characters
2:55
and in your worlds. Jerry, you took a
2:58
chance on me at a moment in my life when
3:01
everything was moving very fast.
3:06
changed my life and you were a huge part
3:15
But what means even more to me is that
3:17
over 20 years later, you're still in my
3:20
life. I know I can always count on you
3:23
for advice when needed, encouragement if
3:25
I'm doubting myself, and always with
3:28
that wonderfully calm, Jerry way of
3:31
making it seem like everything's just
3:37
You've created some of the biggest
3:39
movies in history. But behind all of the
3:42
success is an incredibly loyal, generous
3:45
man and husband who remembers the people
3:48
he came up with and shows up for them
3:50
when it matters most. I'm very fortunate
3:53
to be one of your actors. I'm even more
3:56
fortunate to call you a friend. You're a
3:58
one-off, Jerry. You really are. You
4:01
deserve every accolade and all of our
4:03
respect. Congratulations and welcome to
4:06
the wonderful world of Disney Legends.
4:36
>> Thank you, Orlando. What a great actor
4:39
and a great friend. I'm so fortunate you
4:41
came here tonight to introduce me. But
4:44
I'm thrilled to be here in front of you
4:46
because you are the fans that go see our
4:49
films. What a great show they're putting
4:51
on tonight. The Disney Company, they're
4:59
>> And I'm really humbled to be a part of
5:01
this year's class. When I think about
5:04
all the past classes, it's just amazing
5:07
that I'm standing here in front of you.
5:10
But I'm only here because of the great
5:13
writers, the great directors, the great
5:16
actors, the crews, the people in my
5:19
company, Chad Omen, Melissa Reid, and
5:22
John Campbell, who make this all
5:24
possible. But there are two legends in
5:26
my life. That's my wife Linda and my
5:29
daughter Alex [applause]
5:40
cuz they encourage me and help me get
5:43
through the tough days to entertain you.
5:48
You're why we make these movies. You're
5:51
here tonight because of what we put on
5:54
the screens and you support what we do
5:57
and nobody does it better than the
6:00
Disney company. The way they promote
6:01
their films, market their films,
6:03
distribute their films, they become
6:07
worldwide phenomenons and they make the
6:10
world a better place which it really
6:12
needs. Thank you the Disney company for
6:17
[applause and cheering] Heat.
