The Disney Family Singalong in Elephant Costume

Katy Perry took part in The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II on Sunday and sang the beloved lullaby "Baby Mine," but of course she went the extra mile. The singer and American Idol judge performed the song while dressed in a costume as Dumbo's mother, featuring her poodle, Nugget, dressed as Dumbo. As fans are well aware, the tune was first featured in the 1941 animated movie Dumbo and has been a cherished piece ever since.
