Pixar's Pete Docter introduces Frank Oz as a Disney Legend

Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter introduced Frank Oz, the iconic puppeteer, filmmaker, and actor.

"Everyone else got famous presenters, you're stuck with the guy who does the little animations," Docter joked.

As Oz took the stage he looked around and said, "I feel like I"m amongst friends."

He went on to say, "It's odd to stand here alone because no one does it themselves."

He thanked Jim Henson, George Lucas and Mark Hamill among others.

Oz shared that his parents were Holocaust survivors who later came to the U.S.

"I'm so amazed to think my brother and I played in bombed out buildings in Belgium," he said. "And then, 10 years later, played on Tom Sawyer Island."

Before walking off stage he shared a word of advice, "Don't hide who you are."
