How to watch the Disney Family Singalong: Volume II

ABC will air a second star-packed singalong of Disney songs on Mother’s Day. The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II will feature songs from Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog, Coco, The Little Mermaid, and more.

Billy Eichner, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Shakira, Halsey, and Idina Menzel are among the artists scheduled to perform during the event. The words appear at the bottom of the screen, so you can sing along correctly instead of mumbling through parts of Friend Like Me from Aladdin. (“So dontcha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed!”)

The first volume of the singalong aired on ABC on April 16, with performances from Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera, Darren Criss, and many others. The show was meant to raise awareness for the charity Feeding America. (You can stream it on ABC, if you missed it.)

Twitter lit up when Beyoncé made her surprise appearance to sing When You Wish Upon a Star in the first singalong, so you’ll want to tune in to see what else ABC has up its sleeve on Mother’s Day.

When does The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II start? 

The singalong will air Sunday, May 10, at 7 p.m. ET on ABC.

When it first launched, the Disney+ movie catalog included a strange assortment of titles. There were all of the animated classics, as well as plenty of Star Wars and Marvel content, but unlike streamers like Netflix and Max, the assortment of titles didn't seem to be quite as random, or really offer something for everyone.

More than any other Hollywood studio, Disney is a brand unto itself. Thanks to its theme parks, cruises, and century of "magic," Disney has established itself in the minds of millions as the studio that turns dreams into reality. As the movie library on Disney+ continues to expand, though, it's easy to forget that Disney owns plenty of movies that aren't animated or about Tony Stark.

If you're looking for a movie worth watching on the service outside of Disney's bigger properties, then the 2021 reimagining of West Side Story is a great place to start. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the movie retains much of what makes the musical great while taking a few big swings of its own. Set on the west side of 1960s New York, the film tells the story of a doomed romance between two people on opposite sides of a gang war. Here are three reasons you should check it out.
