["Circle of Life" plays]
[male announcer] Tonight,
from our living rooms to yours...
Hello?
[announcer]
...we come together and take a break
to share in the joy of Disney
and some of our favorite music...
Enchanté, chérie.
[announcer]
...at a time we need it most.
-Do you want to build a snowman?
-Go.
[upbeat music]
[announcer]
So gather the family around...
...and join us in sharing
our love of singing our hearts out
to some of our beloved Disney classics
for one very special evening.
Be our guest, won't you?
For the Disney Family Singalong.
Welcome, everyone,
to the Disney Family Singalong.
Ryan Seacrest here,
and tonight we're providing
some much-needed joy
by bringing us all together
through our shared love of singing.
We've assembled an all-star
lineup of artists,
and challenged them to prepare
a special singalong version
of one of their favorite Disney songs
from the comfort of their own home.
Now, they've dug deep and created
something incredibly meaningful
for all of us to share, and
they've done it with minimal equipment.
All self-sh*t in their own homes.
Just them, a camera,
and a whole lot of heart.
And of course, it won't be a singalong
without you singing along.
We want you and your families
to join in on all the fun
at the top of your lungs.
Yes, even you, Dad.
We thought we'd start
with a little vocal warmup,
and who better
to get our vocal cords in shape
than the Tony/Emmy award-winning
powerhouse performer
known as Kristin Chenoweth?
Kristin, take it away.
Thanks, Ryan.
I am so glad that I get to be the one
to get you guys ready vocally
for tonight.
Now, to channel your inner
Disney princess or prince,
you need some fa-la-la-la-las.
So let's start with some
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la. Let's go.
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la. Good.
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la. One more.
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Yes! I can hear you through my TV.
[chuckles]
Now that you've finally found
your happy fairy-tale ending,
dig deep into your core and realize
that you too can have a showstopper.
[sings high note]
[glass shatters]
Sorry. Didn't mean to do that.
It just flew out.
Anyway, have fun, enjoy the music,
and sing pretty.
Thank you, Kristin.
Now that we're all fully prepped
and the neighbors have been warned,
what better way to kick things off
than with a song from one
of my all-time favorite Disney classics,
Beauty and the Beast?
So get ready for a spectacular
self-sh*t performance
by hugely talented Derek Hough
and his girlfriend Hayley,
from our living room to yours.
Please, be our guest.
[orchestral music]
Ma chère mademoiselle,
it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure
that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to relax.
Let us pull up a chair
as the dining room proudly presents...
your dinner.
[singing "Be Our Guest"]
-[phone ringing]
-[Derek laughs]
Oh, Julianne's calling.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. FaceTiming me.
-Hey, Jules! What's up?
-Hi.
Whoa, what are you wearing?
Oh, we're doing, like, a Disney
singalong right now with America.
-Wait, that's so cute.
-[laughs]
Wait, why am I not invited?
I want to do that.
Well, you are! Go get on--
do you have a costume or something?
Do I have a costume?
Have you met me?
[orchestral music]
[music playing through cell phone]
All right, let's go!
Come on, Hayley!
[all singing "Be Our Guest"]
Now, if you have a Buzz Lightyear
doll at the house,
it's time to grab it,
gather round the living room,
and get ready to sing along
to the Toy Story classic,
"You've Got a Friend in Me,"
with Josh Groban.
-["You've Got a Friend in Me" playing]
-All right, America.
I want to hear you sing
at the top of your lungs with me.
I've got some friends joining me later,
and I hope you'll join me too
on this very special song.
[singing "You've Got a Friend in Me"]
All right, I want to hear you all
sing along. Come on.
[all singing "You've Got a Friend in Me"]
[children laughing]
When's the last time you got to sing along
with Christina Aguilera?
Hey, stick around
because that's happening in a bit.
Also, a Disney Family Singalong exclusive.
It's the High School Musical reunion.
But right now, we have some country stars
who may not be together in person
but have cooked up something
wonderful for us.
Let's say hello to Little Big Town.
In every job that must be done,
there's an element of fun.
Find the fun, and snap--
the job's a game.
[music playing]
[singing "A Spoonful of Sugar"]
[all singing "A Spoonful of Sugar"]
Take it away, Philly.
[singing "A Spoonful of Sugar"]
[singing "A Spoonful of Sugar"]
Our next singalong
is with the talented young actress
who voiced Moana
in the popular 2016 animated film,
Auli'i Cravalho,
checking in right now.
So nice to see you.
Oh, thank you so much
for having me, Ryan.
Now, we challenged you to come up
with a singalong for us,
so what song did you decide to do?
I will be singing "How Far I'll Go" today,
from Moana.
Um, it's written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
It's a song that's really close
to my heart.
I think it's really relatable
and inspiring during these times.
It's really about feeling
kind of stuck where you are,
but wanting more from life,
and dreaming about the future,
which I certainly am.
Plus, I feel like a lot of people at home
know the words, so it's perfect.
It's the perfect fit. All right,
well, thank you for doing it.
All the families watching
in your living room,
let's see how far you can go with Auli'i,
a.k.a. Moana. Take it away.
[singing "How Far I'll Go"]
At this moment, everyone
is experiencing challenging times,
so tonight we'd love to shed some light
on the incredible work
Feeding America is doing.
-Hi, America!
-Hi, America!
-Hi, America!
-Hey there, America.
-During this crisis...
-...over 37 million people...
-...don't have access...
-...to nutritious foods.
But there is a way we can all help...
with Feeding America.
Their network of 200 food banks
are up and running...
distributing food to people
and communities they serve...
across the country.
to locate a food bank
in your community.
-Together.
-Together.
-Together...
-...let's feed the love.
Hello to all of the families
across the world.
I'm very proud and honored
to be a part of the Disney family,
and to help present the Disney
Songbook Singalong
in partnership with Feeding America.
I'd like to dedicate this song
to all of the healthcare workers
who've been working tirelessly
to keep us healthy and safe.
We greatly appreciate you.
[soft piano music]
[singing] When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
[speaking] Please hold on
to your families tight.
Please be safe.
Don't give up hope.
We're gonna get through this.
I promise. God bless you.
Mwah.
And as this is the
Disney Family Singalong,
I thought I'd hand it over to the niece
of one of tonight's star performers,
Amber Riley.
You know Amber for her work in Glee,
The Little Mermaid Live,
and winning Dancing with the Stars.
Let's say hello to Teonie.
I'm so excited to introduce
my Auntie Amber,
especially because she's going to sing
our favorite song from Frozen.
So sing along with her
at the top of your lungs,
and every time you belt out "Let it go,"
put your arms out like this
and really bring it to life.
Take it away, Auntie Amber.
["Let It Go" playing]
[singing "Let It Go"]
That was amazing.
It just goes to show you, you can never
underestimate a Disney fan.
I wonder what this next performer
has in store,
so let's find out.
Here to keep it going
is Amber's fellow Glee star,
my friend Darren Criss.
Darren, thanks for coming on.
How are you?
Of course.
I'm very well, thank you.
All things aside,
it's fun to celebrate music,
especially Disney music,
with friends, and, you know,
and try and bring some smiles
to some people's faces.
It's a nice little escape,
and I've known you a long time.
I know you're a huge fan of Disney songs,
so what do you have in store for us?
Well, it's hard for me to decide
because there's so many classics,
so I tried to do one
that isn't done as often,
but I've been doing this song
and many Disney songs in bars,
cafés, restaurants,
my entire adult life,
so I thought I would do one
of my favorites,
which is from the 1967 classic
The Jungle Book,
the great Louis Prima's
"I Wan'na Be like You,"
so I felt like monkeyin' around
a little bit.
So people will sing along with me,
hopefully they can monkey around too.
Oh, I think we're ready, then.
Let's do it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Darren Criss.
A-one, two.
[rhythmic tapping]
-[guitar music]
-[singing "I Wan'na Be like You]
[monkey sounds]
Are you guys ready?
Because this is going to be so fun.
We've challenged some super-talents
from Broadway
to put together a singalong just for you,
so take in a breath,
don't panic, relax your voice,
there's gonna be some tongue-twisters,
and please help me welcome my friend,
Tony Award winner
James Monroe Iglehart,
and the Broadway cast of Aladdin
to sing "Friend Like Me."
Have fun. Oh. Use your breath.
["Friend Like Me" playing]
Hit it!
-[vocalizing]
-[singing "Friend Like Me"]
Ha ha ha!
Sing along, y'all.
No, no, no!
[all singing "Friend Like Me"]
Ha ha ha!
[James]
Come on, everybody!
Sing along!
As a member of the Disney family,
it's my pleasure to introduce
our next singalong.
Performing "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)"
from Hercules,
it's the extraordinary, unbelievable,
incredible... Ariana Grande.
Oh!
Today I'm gonna sing "I Won't
Say (I'm in Love)" from Hercules
because it's always been
my number one favorite Disney movie,
and I love Alan Menken's music,
so I hope you enjoy.
Mwah!
[singing "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)"]
On, no
[Ariane vocalizes]
[vocalizing]
[all]
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries
And your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes...
[female announcer]
Next, it's a big-screen,
live action
Beauty and the Beast reunion,
plus several more Disney O.G.'s
perform the classics
they originated in their films.
The Disney Family Singalong,
and it's all coming up.
Ladies and gentlemen,
you know him as Olaf from Frozen,
or LeFou from Beauty and the Beast,
or just good old-fashioned
regular legend,
the one and only, Josh Gad!
Oh, thank you! Thank you
for that great introduction,
unidentifiable Disney voiceover
introduction person.
And now, please welcome
Luke Evans,
and accompanying us on piano,
the one and only,
Academy Award winner Alan Menken,
as we give you
Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston."
[playing "Gaston" on piano]
[singing "Gaston"]
[singing]
[Alan singing]
It just occurred to me
that I'm in quarantine indefinitely--
does spelling last names
really matter right now?
[singing]
Our next performer
to lead us in song
has been entertaining audiences
for six decades.
Younger kids, that's more than
all your fingers and toes, okay?
That's how long.
He sang "I'll Make a Man Out of You"
in the animated feature Mulan,
and he's put together this
very special singalong just for you.
It is the great Donny Osmond.
["I'll Make a Man Out of You" playing]
[singing]
Take it, Dylan.
[singing]
Be a man!
Be a man!
Be a man!
...moon!
-Great job, kids!
-Bye, Papa!
Papa!
-Bye, guys!
-Bye, Grandpa!
Grandpa loves you!
Great job!
Hello, ladies and gentlemen,
Tracee Ellis Ross here.
You know, it is often in times like these,
that are the most challenging,
that we could all use
a little bit of magic,
and Disney songs are full of magic.
So get ready to feel the love,
because we are singing
an Oscar-winning ballad
from The Lion King
with a woman who has
a voice like no other
and some Disney magic of her own.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's Christina Aguilera.
["Can You Feel the Love Tonight" playing]
[vocalizing]
[singing]
[soft chuckle]
[kiss]
["Kiss the Girl" playing]
Next up in our family singalong
is a Little Mermaid-inspired performance
by the multitalented Jordan Fisher,
and he'll be joined by some
very special friends.
So, if you've got any bubbles laying
around the house, grab 'em now
because we're headed under the sea.
["Under the Sea" playing]
[singing "Under the Sea"]
Whoo!
[applause]
Pocahontas was my favorite
Disney princess growing up,
and the movie happens to have
one of the best
Disney ballads ever.
Yes, I'm talking about
"Colors of the Wind,"
and I would absolutely love it
if you guys sang along with me.
["Colors of the Wind" playing]
[singing]
[fanfare plays]
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means friendship
to everyone
Though the mountains divide
and the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
-Looks good, Bill!
-[female announcer] Up next,
snatch your hats and scarves
out of the attic--
the temperature is about to drop!
A Frozen favorite is next,
plus a special singalong surprise
every Disney lover will go crazy over.
[all] It's a small, small world
-Yay!
-Yay!
Yay, Bill!
Do you wanna build a snowman?
-Yes.
-You do?
All right, you gonna help me sing this?
Mm-hmm!
[singing]
[singing with laughter]
Okay.
[girl giggles]
[singing]
[girl] Walls?
[girl chatters happily]
Oh, it's snowing!
[laughter]
All right, we're gonna sing
this last part real loud. Ready?
[Thomas]
You ready?
[singing]
[girl giggles]
Now say bye!
-Bye!
-Will you wave?
Now, just when you thought we
couldn't give you any more "feels,"
I have a surprise for you.
This star is hunkered down
in the middle of nowhere
with patchy Wi-Fi,
but he does not want
to miss out on tonight.
He became a household name
thanks to his early work
as Troy Bolton in
the High School Musical trilogy.
It's Zac Efron.
Hi, everyone, I hope that you're safe
and that you're healthy,
and that you're doing as well as possible
during these unprecedented times.
It's my greatest pleasure
to introduce a musical performance
by some of my oldest friends,
and some new ones.
I hope that you enjoy, and remember,
we are all in this together.
All right, thank you, Zac.
Now let's hear from the man
who gave Zac
and so many other
talented young performers
their big break.
Director of Newsies, Hocus Pocus,
Descendants, and High School Musical,
it is Kenny Ortega.
Hi, everybody.
What an honor it is to be sharing
in this special evening with all of you.
And while I'm joining in from my home
like you are from yours,
I am super looking forward
to finishing off this singalong jam
with a bang!
But first, to get things started,
I've got someone very special
that I'd like to link in.
- Hey, Kenny, what's up!
- Hey, Lucas!
How's it goin'?
Hey, everybody.
Oh, this is amazing,
uh, just having us all at our homes,
but we're hanging out together.
It's-- it's, uh--
This is incredible.
Um, but what do you say we--
we link in a few more friends?
All right.
-[laughter]
-Hi!
Hey!
I don't know about you guys,
but I'm ready for some dancing.
Oh, girl, you know I'm always ready
to get my groove on!
Yes!
Oh, wait! Wait,
we're missing a Wildcat!
-What's up, Wildcats?
-Corbin!
-Whoo!
-[all] Corbin!
Oh, wow, this is crazy!
It's so good to see you guys!
[laughs]
Guys, when we recorded
"We're All In This Together"
all those years ago,
did you think that it could become
the anthem that it is today?
It's popping up everywhere.
It's crazy!
It just goes to show you, though,
there is nothing like the power of music
to lift up the spirit.
Hey, everybody, from our homes
to your homes,
get ready to get your head in the game.
["We're All In This Together" playing]
Ohh!
Yeah, yeah
Come on, now
Together strong
[woman] Yeah!
-Yeah
-Yeah, yeah
Hey!
Ho!
Hey! Ho!
All right, here we go
That is right, everybody.
We are all in this together,
so, please, keep your spirit strong
and your hopes high.
That's right, Corbin.
And, everyone, make good choices,
which means stay at home.
And remember the importance
of social distancing
until we're able to be together again.
And before we say good night,
let's give a huge shout-out
and a thanks to our first responders.
Our doctors and nurses
and medical staff,
and everyone who is out there
working day and night
on the front lines,
doing everything they can
to keep us safe.
We are so grateful to you.
We love you. We applaud you.
[applause]
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
[cheers and applause]
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
That's you, Mom and Dad!
[applause]
-Thank you so much!
-Thank you!
And thanks to Kenny and the cast
of High School Musical
for that incredible reunion,
and thank you all at home
for singing along with us for the hour.
We hope we were able
to provide some joy,
and we didn't scare your dogs
too much in the process.
Now, to close out tonight,
let's all join together
for a very special rendition
of Cinderella's "A Dream Is
a Wish Your Heart Makes,"
led by Michael Bublé
and Demi Lovato.
From our family to yours,
we wish you all health and happiness.
Good night, everybody.
["A Dream Is A Wish
Your Heart Makes" playing]
[singing]
Thank you, nurses and doctors.
We love you.
Mahalo to our police officers.
Thank you, Mommy!
Thank you, essential workers.
Thank you, truck drivers!
Thank you, grocery store workers!
We love our teachers!
[singing]
Thank you, front line!
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
[Bublé and Lovato sing together]
[to the tune of "Heigh-Ho"]
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you and you and you and you
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
We love you.
Hopefully this will make them smile.
Thank you.
[scatting, laughing]
-Whoo whoo!
-Peace!
Thank you.
Thank you.
We love you, we appreciate you.
God bless. Stay safe.
Mwah.
