Hey there, friends! You won’t believe how heartwarming this story is. Donny Osmond, the legendary crooner, brought his entire family into the spotlight during ABC’s The Disney Family Singalong. He performed his iconic hit from Mulan, “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You,” with his grandkids. The show aired on Thursday, April 16, and Donny’s family couldn’t resist capturing the magic on their phones. The 62-year-old entertainer then shared the footage on his Instagram Stories, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the unforgettable night.
Family Love on Full Display
Donny’s family wasn’t just watching the show—they were living it. His daughter-in-law, Shelby Osmond, shared her excitement by writing, “Here it is. Ahh,” about a clip of Ryan Seacrest introducing her legendary father-in-law on the program. The energy in the room was palpable. Melissa Osmond, wife of Donny’s son Jeremy Osmond, added her two cents with, “Seriously dying.” It’s clear that Donny’s family is just as much of a fan as the rest of us.
Even Donny’s fans got into the action. One fan posted a photo on Instagram saying, “@DonnyOsmond and his family was the actual perfect representation of what this night was about.” I mean, who could disagree? Donny has always been a shining example of how to blend family and career seamlessly, and this moment was just another proof of that.

A Journey Back to Mulan
Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Back in 1998, Donny recorded “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” for the beloved Disney classic, Mulan. During a Q&A session, Donny revealed, “I’m the singing voice for Captain Li Shang. One of my favorite roles yet.” Performing that song with his family was a monumental moment for Donny, especially because his only granddaughter, Emy, was part of it. Can you imagine how proud he must have felt?
In August 2019, Donny posted a sweet photo of him and Emy to Instagram, expressing how much she means to him. “Out of our five children and 10 grandchildren, Emy is the only girl,” he wrote. “She’s my sweet princess. This girl is as radiant on the inside as she is on the outside, and she’s growing up so fast. I look at her and feel an immense sense of pride in the strong woman she’s becoming. Bapa loves you, Emy.”
