It was a pretty simple, but very fun idea: Round up some celebrities — along with their families — to perform classic Disney tunes in their homes, while encouraging viewers to give their own vocal cords a workout.
And giving everyone much-needed relief from the social distancing blues.
ABC struck ratings gold in April with “The Disney family Singalong.” In fact, more than 12 million viewers have seen it. So you just knew that they would do a follow-up with a fresh roster of celebrities. And lord knows, there are many more and Disney tunes to belt out.
“The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II” airs at 7 p.m. EDT Sunday on ABC, just before “American Idol.” The list of celebrities this time includes Billy Eichner, Josh Gad, Donald Glover, Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Idina Menzel, Miguel, Keke Palmer, Katy Perry, Ben Platt, Seth Rogen, Anika Noni Rose, Rebel Wilson, Shakira and more.
