The Jonas Brothers were inducted as Disney Legends on Sunday at the Honda Center during D23, Disney's biennial fan expo, with former Disney Channel co-star Vanessa Hudgens presenting the honor.

Joe Jonas recalled that his first word was "Gaston," while Nick Jonas noted his first professional job was playing Chip in a Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast." The brothers, who broke out on Disney Channel and Radio Disney in the 2000s, donned mouse ears as part of the ceremony and declared "absolute loyalty to the mouse," according to a report on the ceremony.

The Disney Legends award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the Walt Disney Company's legacy.
