Guest celebrities on "The Muppet Show", who also did Disney (part four)

My look at guest celebrities on The Muppet Show who also did things for Disney continues, with this second part of the second season. As always, I will not do every single guest celebrity, only those who have done significant things for Disney.
Up next, we have Dom DeLuise:

DeLuise's Disney credits were few but significant. He hosted on an episode of The Mouse Factory, about the great outdoors, and he voiced Fagin in Oliver and Company:

Up next, we have Bernadette Peters:

Again, her Disney credits are few, but still well-known. She played Cinderella's stepmother in a newer version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, which aired on The Wonderful World of Disney in 1997...

...and later that year, she would voice Angelique in the direct-to-video film, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas:

Up next, we have Sir Elton John, who became a Disney Legend:

His most significant Disney credit was doing the music for The Lion King:

In the closing credits of the film, he sings a spirited rendition of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", which sometimes plays on the radio to this day. Also, he appears in the TV special, Totally Minnie:

Up next after that, we have another Disney Legend, Julie Andrews:

Andrews is probably one of the most significant guest stars to have a Disney connection, playing the title character in one of Disney's most icnonic movies ever made, Mary Poppins:

Beyond that, Andrews also played Queen Clarisse Renalid in the Princess Diaries series...

...as well as narrated Enchanted:

And those are just some of the more well-known roles of Andrews'. That's all for now. Next time, I will wrap up the second season of The Muppet Show. Stay tuned.
