The Disney Family Singalong

The Disney Family Singalong is a TV special hosted by Ryan Seacrest that aired on ABC on April 16, 2020. It has also aired on Channel 9 in Australia. The special was put together in the midst of the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic to bring people together in the age of social distancing through the power of Disney songs. The special featured appearances by celebrities from their home leading the songs, and viewers were invited to follow Mickey the bouncing ball. The special included songs from films, such as Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Moana, Frozen, and High School Musical.
On April 29, 2020, it was announced that a second volume would air on Mother's Day, May 10, before American Idol. This volume was titled as "The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II".
On November 30, 2020, a holiday volume aired, under the title "The Disney Holiday Singalong".
