1. To infinity and beyond! Can you name the actor who was named a Disney Legend in 1999?

From Quiz Who's Who: Celebrity Santas

Answer: Tim Allen

Disney Legends are recognized for making an outstanding contribution to The Walt Disney Company. The annual award program was started in 1987, and since 2009, the program has been held every two years. The first recipient of the award was Fred MacMurray, for his contributions to Disney movies, such as "The Shaggy Dog" (1959). Since 1987, it has been the usual practice to choose more than one person to receive the award. Of course, Tim Allen is a logical choice for his portrayal of Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear in all four of the beloved "Toy Story" (1995, 1999, 2010, 2019) movies. As it turns out, Allen's other contributions to The Walt Disney Company were made for playing the part that landed him in this quiz. To date he has starred in three movies in Disney's "The Santa Clause" (1994, 2002, 2006) as Scott Calvin, who finds himself taking Santa's place after accidentally causing the death of a man in a Santa suit.
