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.

China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
