He plays cool music, gives out prizes, takes phone calls from kids and does the occasional celebrity interview. Then there is B.B.

When the Mouse was a growth stock, such pay was like the price of admission to Disneyworld - expensive, but at least you got some thrills out of the investment...
Performers who had provided voices for title characters in such Disney features as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty sued Uncle Walt, claiming that Disney had not paid for the rights to include their performances in video adaptations of the films. Peggy Lee, who had provided songs and dialogue for the film Lady and the Tramp for $3,500 in 1952, won a $3.85 million judgment in 1991 and later settled for an undisclosed sum rather than endure a long appeal...
