Vanessa Hudgens welcomes Jonas Brothers as Disney Legends
Who else would have been better, if not Disney's one of the most well-known faces, Vanessa Hudgens, to pay tribute to the Jonas Brothers? Reflecting on their shared history and growing up in the spotlight, Hudgens joked, "Seems like just yesterday we were just kids running around the Disney lot, and now look at us, we have kids!"
She also praised their sibling bond and work ethic. "Did you guys make working together so easy, and most importantly, so much fun?" "I mean, it's a huge part of the reason. You know, every single time, I hear and read out every single song, including my son, who runs around screaming. 'I can't lose,'" Hudgens continued.
"So, thank you for that. Welcome you as Disney Legends," she added.
Jonas Brothers return to D23 to promote 'Camp Rock 3' nearly two decades after the original
The Jonas Brothers returned to the stage at D23 during the Disney Entertainment Showcase on Friday to promote 'Camp Rock 3.'
As the brothers took the stage, loud cheers and clapping could be heard. Nick Jonas welcomed fans back, and Joe added, "It's been almost two decades," before Nick responded, "Okay, fine, it's been a while."
Then Kevin added, “We’re so pumped to be back at camp. Back at the lake. Back pretending to know how to canoe.” For those unaware, the brothers starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie in 2008, followed by the sequel 'Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam' (2010).

This time, the Jonas Brothers will star and serve as executive producers. Co-star Demi Lovato will serve behind the scenes as a producer rather than returning on screen as Mitchie Torres.
“As parents (in the) last couple years, we’ve been so thrilled to get to partner with Disney on a bunch of different projects,” Nick said. “We’re trying to bring things into the world that we can share with our kids and that we can experience as a family."
