D23 recap: From movies to theme park rides, here's everything announced at Disney fan event

Alan Tudyk, who's voiced more than 25 Disney characters, was honored by "Zootopia" star Ginnifer Goodwin on Sunday.

She noted that he's created an entire universe of characters - villains, heroes, pirates, weasels - and made each and every one feel unique.

"Over the years you have quietly and humbly become one of the most beloved and versatile performers in the Disney family," she said.

Once onstage, Tudyk shared a heartwarming story in which he met a young fan with pediatric cancer, whose favorite character is Hei Hei the Rooster. While she initially doubted he voiced the character from "Moana," he was able to make her laugh by clucking like Hei Hei.

While he doesn't create the characters, Tudyk said that as the voice of so many iconic roles, he gets to be "the ambassador of so much joy."

Alan Tudyk is an actor and voice artist known for his vocal versatility, having performed in every Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film since 2012.

A Texas native who attended Juilliard, Tudyk built a career across stage, film and television, including roles in Broadway's "Monty Python's Spamalot," the film "A Knight's Tale" (2001) and the TV series "Firefly." He earned an Emmy nomination for writing, directing and starring in the web series "Con Man," as well as an Emmy nomination for voicing the droid K-2SO in the Disney+ series "Andor," a role he originated in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (2016).

In animation, Tudyk won an Annie Award for his debut Disney role as King Candy in "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012). His extensive Disney voice credits include Duke Weaselton in "Zootopia" (2016) and "Zootopia 2" (2025), Heihei in "Moana" (2016) and "Moana 2" (2024), Knowsmore in "Ralph Breaks the Internet" (2018), Tuk Tuk in "Raya and the Last Dragon" (2021), a toucan in "Encanto" (2021), and Valentino the goat in "Wish" (2023). Beyond animation, he motion-captured and voiced the robot Sonny in "I, Robot" (2004) and voiced characters in 20th Century Studios' "Ice Age" franchise.

"Moana" star Auli'i Cravalho honored Disney Legend Lin Manuel Miranda at Sunday's ceremony.

"There are songwriters," she said. "And then, there's Lin Manuel Miranda."

Calling him the latest in an incredible lineup of Disney songwriters, she called him one of the "defining musical storytellers of our, my, generation."

The new Disney Legend was later honored with a musical tribute from his hit Disney films by stars like Cravalho, Jordan Fisher and many more.

To a rousing standing ovation, Lin Manuel Miranda stood onstage and soaked it all in.

While holding a book from "The Little Mermaid," he read an incredible revised version of "Part of Your World."

"And I'm grateful for you, for believing in me, you see that line where the sky meets the sea. God, what a time. Grateful that I'm, part of your world."

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning songwriter, actor, producer and director. Best known as the creator and original star of Broadway's "Hamilton" and composer of "In the Heights," Miranda has received the MacArthur Foundation Award and Kennedy Center Honors for his contributions to stage and screen.

Crediting Disney musicals like "The Little Mermaid" (1989) for inspiring his career, Miranda wrote songs for "Moana" (2016), earning a Grammy Award and an Academy Award nomination for "How Far I'll Go". He later composed eight songs for "Encanto" (2021), including the chart-topping hit "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and Oscar-nominated "Dos Oruguitas," which named him Billboard's top Hot 100 songwriter of 2022.

His Disney work also includes starring as Jack the Lamplighter in "Mary Poppins Returns" (2018), producing and co-writing new songs for the live-action "The Little Mermaid" (2023), composing songs for "Mufasa: The Lion King" (2024), playing Hermes in Disney+'s "Percy Jackson & The Olympians," and contributing music to the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy. Miranda most recently serves as a producer and music collaborator on the live-action "Moana" reimagining.
