The award
The award was designed by sculptor and Imagineering alumnus Andrea Favilli. Favilli personally casts the award in bronze every two years for D23’s culminating event, the Disney Legends Awards ceremony. The design of the Disney Legends Award draws inspiration from Walt Disney’s Fantasia. The sculpture depicts an unraveling cinematic film spool that transforms into the hand of Mickey Mouse (as the Sorcerer's Apprentice) holding a star-tipped magic wand.
