US Network ABC say viewers can expect “all-new star-studded performances, inventive at-home choreography and even more Disney magic”. No performers have yet been announced, but the broadcaster confirmed the animated Mickey Mouse will return to guide viewers through the on-screen lyrics.

The special, hosted again by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, will air in the US on 10 May at 7pm (EDT).

Like the first special, it’s expected the Singalong will be available to UK viewers on Disney+ at a later, as yet unspecified, date. RadioTimes.com has reached out to Disney for comment.

The first special featured pop superstar Ariana Grande performing I Won't Say (I'm in Love) from 1997’s Hercules, alongside a surprise appearance from Beyoncé, who sang Pinocchio’s When You Wish Upon a Star.

Other celebrity guests included Auliʻi Cravalho (the voice of Moana), Beauty and the Beast’s Luke Evans, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Christina Aguilera, Kenny Ortega, Donny Osmond, Demi Lovato, and a High School Musical cast performance.
