The Disney Family Singalong will air on ABC on Thursday, April 16, at 8 p.m.

An animated character will guide the on-screen lyrics, enabling audiences to join in with the celebrities as they sing beloved melodies from Disney classics, including Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Toy Story to more recent fan-favorites like Moana, Frozen and High School Musical. Additional guests and performances are to be announced soon. The special will also air PSAs with talent from across Walt Disney Television to raise awareness about Feeding America’s network and resources for people in the country who are facing hunger for the first time due to COVID-19.

Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment, said: “If there’s something that we’ve all learned in the past few weeks, it’s to cherish every moment and the importance of connection, whether through laughter, stories or music. We hope that we can help create some new unforgettable moments in everyone’s home in a way that only the magic of Disney can.”
