It's April 23rd. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, Your Daily Dose of Celebrity Buzz. Disney Animation is bringing magic to more fans with songs and sign language. ASL versions of hits from Frozen 2, Enkanto, and Moana 2. These reimagined musical moments drop on Disney Plus April 27th, right in time for National Deaf History Month from April 1st through 30th. They partnered with Deaf West Theatre to make it happen under the direction of veteran animator Hiram Osmond. His team focused on three standout songs to capture that Disney vibe through signing. Osmond drew from his own life, his dad is deaf, and growing up he never picked up sign language. That gap always bugged him, especially since his father loved feeling the theatre vibes of the movie bass. Now, specific tracks like the next right thing from Frozen 2 and Beyond from Moana 2 get the full ASL treatment with the Enkanto pick-rounding. Out the set,

it's all about breaking barriers and sharing the story's wider. This move spotlights ASL as a stunning way to connect, pulling more folks into the Disney world while honoring Deaf culture and a fresh beat.
