0:05
I think we've all said that. I want to
0:07
go again and again and again. Now, when
0:10
I first met these legends 20 years ago,
0:13
the window [cheering] in the studio
0:16
where I was interviewing them were all
0:18
foggy and the screaming fans on the
0:20
other side [cheering]
0:23
and they still screaming. That's the
0:25
moment I knew these guys were going to
0:27
be around for a long time. A lot has
0:29
changed since then, but one thing has
0:34
[cheering] Their fans still remember
0:38
Their music has become the soundtrack to
0:41
a generation. Their story has grown up
0:44
alongside their fans. And through it
0:46
all, they've remained exactly what they
0:49
were from the very beginning. Three
0:51
brothers who [cheering] genuinely love
1:04
Ladies and gentlemen, Jonas Brothers.
1:09
The Jonas Brother. [music] Jonas
1:12
>> Hi, we're the Jonas Brother. Don't say
1:14
it. It's a ring. Okay. Welcome to the
1:16
Jonas family house. This is our life.
1:18
The multif family selling Jonas
1:20
Brothers. They have rocked our world for
1:23
two decades. Rockstar, dude. Use it.
1:28
>> In one week, they have three albums in
1:32
>> It's the type of music that has become
1:33
the soundtrack of friendships,
1:35
heartbreaks, and everything [music] in
1:37
>> One of the most popular music acts in
1:38
the business world. [music]
1:55
We're back exactly where we're supposed
2:20
>> You know, it seems like just yesterday
2:23
we were all just kids running around the
2:25
Disney lot. And now look at us. We all
2:34
I remember watching the three of you and
2:36
just being in awe of your connection.
2:40
The way you communicate with each other
2:41
without even saying a word. You know
2:44
that telepathic thing that you guys got
2:47
You know, since the early days in your
2:49
basement in New Jersey to this very
2:54
there is a genuine love and friendship
2:56
between you guys that has never changed.
2:59
Now, I am extremely humbled and inspired
3:02
by it because you guys make working
3:04
together look so easy and most
3:07
importantly so much fun. I mean, it's a
3:11
huge part of the reason why fans around
3:12
the globe know every single lyric to
3:15
every single song, including my son who
3:17
runs around screaming, "I can't lose
3:23
that boy." So, thank you for that.
3:26
Your bond, the bond of your brotherhood
3:29
is is something that makes us all feel
3:31
like we are part of your extended
3:33
family. Now, I know how much you mean to
3:36
your fans and how much they mean to you
3:42
tonight. There are thousands of them
3:43
here, but there are millions more you
3:46
wish they could be. So, congratulations,
3:50
friends. [laughter] I'm so happy to
3:52
welcome you as Disney legends.
4:20
>> Thank you, Vanessa. Thank you,
4:24
>> Thank god we didn't take that
4:31
>> Our Disney story began as many great
4:33
fairy tales, thus getting dropped by a
4:35
record label. Luckily, Disney heard
4:38
something else that they didn't. They
4:40
started playing the year 3000 music
4:42
video on the channel. [cheering]
4:46
>> And somehow the next thing we knew, we
4:48
were making shows, movies, and touring
4:57
>> But our connection to Disney began
4:58
before any of that. True story. I
5:00
watched the Beauty and the Beast so many
5:03
times my first words were Gaston.
5:07
>> And one of my first jobs on the stage
5:09
was playing Chip the Teacup in Beauty
5:15
>> And I have seen them both.
5:24
>> When we think about what it means to be
5:27
Disney legends, we think about hard
5:31
timing, a little bit of luck, of course.
5:42
absolute loyalty to the mouth.
5:51
>> But mostly we just think about family.
5:54
To our parents, thank you for believing
5:56
in our dreams, moving across the country
5:58
to help us chase them. We see all your
6:01
sacrifices to make this possible. And
6:02
now that we are all parents, we see it
6:04
in a whole new light. You are the reason
6:06
we're here today. We love you.
6:13
>> You took them off. Okay. To our
6:16
management, our band, our crew, our
6:18
collaborators, and our friends. Thank
6:19
you for being there, believing in us. We
6:21
didn't believe in ourselves. We couldn't
6:22
have done it without you guys.
6:27
And to our wives and our kids, thank you
6:29
for loving the versions of us who exist
6:32
off stage. The husbands, the dads, it's
6:36
the most important part we will ever
6:47
who we've always considered family which
6:50
is how we hope he sees us when he does
6:52
his estate planning as well.
7:00
Forgot there was more. Bob took a chance
7:02
on us when we first came to Disney 20
7:04
years ago and he welcomed us back years
7:07
later. We got the band back together.
7:12
And last, but certainly not least, to
7:14
our incredible fans. [cheering]
7:19
>> Thank you for letting us be a part of
7:21
your childhood and growing up alongside
7:22
you all these years. You gave three
7:24
brothers to New Jersey a life beyond
7:26
anything we could imagine. We are so
7:31
Disney music can bring people together.
7:34
Stories can make people feel seen. A
7:36
little bit of magic can turn something
7:37
impossible into something real.
7:41
We are so unbelievably proud to join
7:43
this extraordinary class of legends.
7:45
You're all amazing and incredible and we
7:51
to our great great great grandchildren.
7:54
We're doing just fine.
