she’s so kind in real life too, i took a photo with her at my one act competition (her daughter was performing) and she was like i probably had food in my teeth haha.
3:52 I love how she says that she's met kids who are either quadriplegics or in wheelchairs because of the loss of legs or gaining legs and how she connects to that, that's how I connect with her, too. I use a wheelchair and Everytime I watch the movie, I can't help but think, "I don't blame her, I'd do anything for my legs to move too", so, you know, I'm not happy with the fact that I use a wheelchair, but I am more than happy to have grown up watching this movie
pmanlicious II I think Hallee was a good choice Disney made 🤷🏻♀️ I guess it's all on opinion or something, no matter who it was going to be, at least ONE person wasn't going to be satisfied.. although it's only acceptable for the appropriate reasons.
Yeah it always makes me sad whenever an actor or actress gets so bored when being asked about an iconic character they've played. I mean I get they want to focus on their current projects but that shouldn't mean they should leave their past characters in the past.
Tyler well sometimes the voice changes as you get older, it becomes deeper or more raspy, especially the singing voice. Jodi’s voice still sounds the same as it did in the ‘80s though.
I always found Ariel so beautiful as a kid but I had no idea that the voice actress behind her is also incredibly beautiful. This movie was my entire childhood. This brought back such overwhelming memories.
Yeah I did this just to try and match the voice with the original one Ive heard over and over throughout the years. Its pretty close at times, if not spot on.
I can't decide between Belle and ariel. I have been doing musicals my whole life. My second musical ever I was in third grade and I did the little mermaid Jr I was a mersister but wanted so bad to be Ariel. Then in sixth grade I did batb and played Belle. That's when I fell in love with her she's so smart and independent and strong. I did batb 2 more times shortly after that. I just got cast as Ariel in the little mermaid full version and have learned to appreciate her more. She's quirky and funny and has this infectious positivity even if sometimes she's hurting underneath. This is the largest part ive gotten and I'm so excited for it. Something about playing a character you've grown up with helps you to appreciate and relate to them in a new way.
We need to honor all of Disney’s voice over actors and singers. They need to get celebrity star treatment. My eyes swell and chest aches for the beautiful memories they’ve put in my heart. Thank you,
My twin brother has autism and this is one of the few songs he knows word by word. I sing it with him every single day. Thank you, Jodi, for being the voice of our favorite Disney princess and the artist of this beautiful, amazing song!
I totally respect Jodi Benson because she's humble and a class act, all the way. Plus, she also inspired Mandy Moore to do the singing and the voice of Rapunzel in Tangled. I give her mad props for doing that.
I was named Ariel after the Little Mermaid and was born on the same day as Jodi. Studied for marine biology and worked in an aquarium! Aaaand fell in love with someone across the Atlantic Ocean and ended up crossing the sea to be with him. Relate to my Queen on a deep level tbh
@That One No, I mean in the live action films. Like when they cast Emma Watson as Belle? She's can't sing at all lmao. They cast the live-actions for the name while all of the perfectly good, young talent on Broadway is ignored. :/
I had the original vcr of the little mermaid growing up and at the end it shows her singing and I always thought she was actually Ariel and the movie was about her (I was 6) lol she’s so beautiful!
I was abused as a kid and when I needed to calm down/escape I would "sing" Part of your World in my head and I still do that to calm myself down if I'm getting anxious or panicky ❤
I have a Similar experience with my mom-Who was and is still on drugs- A lot of things happened but the worst was when she wouldn’t let me go outside-I just wanted some fresh air- And to see the stars- I ran out the front door one night and sat and breathed and cried because of how much I missed being outside at night- My mother came to me-screaming at me She locked me in my room- I ripped the screen out of my window (it was already falling out) And sat by the window trying to breathe- and singing this song It took me a while to write this- (Panic Attack) But I will say it’s easier to write things here than talking about it with certain people Wish you all well, Anonymous♥️♥️
I always wondered what Ariel's voice actor was like and it took till 2007 to see her in the flesh.(She was in Enchanted as Sam, Robert's secretary). Jodi Benson was also the voice of Thunbelina and Barbie in Toy Story franchise.
Omgggg I remember watching her flinch in the movie in the scene where Giselle had the fish from the aquarium in her mouth 😂😂 it makes sense since shes the little mermaid
She needs to spread this humbleness and gratefulness to other actors who refuse to acknowledge the characters that made them famous because they're "tired" of being known for it.
Then again, who doesn't want to be recognized as Ariel or a Disney princess in general. I understand where you're coming from, celebrities trying to break free of their iconic roles because they're sick of it, some even so far as to dis the whole show....
I knowww, I wish she got recognised more for that too. Her voice was so amazing in that film and I’d really like to see her re-create and sing like her again.
If you’re taking about Halle, she’s an actress, songwriter, and musician. She and Chloe write, record, and produce their own music. Can’t say the same for Emma Watson. Halle’s a vocalist, Emma’s not even a singer.
1989, I was in 2nd grade!!! My mom surprised me and took me to the movie theater, after she picked me up from school, to go see The Little Mermaid 🐠🐋🦀🐙
I absolutely love hearing her talk about Ariel. I love the movie and the character and hearing how passionate Jodi is, still to this day, about Ariel adds another level of love for her.
All the original Disney characters will always be The original no matter what . They may move on and their torch may be passed but they will always live in the hearts of everyone everywhere . God bless you Jodi .
I could definitely see Ariel and Belle being friends. They're both imaginative, they don't like being told what to do, they both want something outside their normal every day life, and they both have a very sweet, kind nature
What else was she gonna say, "No! The Internet can keep on hating for all I care"? No way. The choice is not good. No need to make Ariel black for the sake of it.
@@OlafLesniak Honestly im only against it if it relates to characters' story and development, otherwise it's all make believe anyway 🤷 I understand wanting to keep things similar to the "original" though
daidai907 I went to see it with my sister when I was 18 (I feel so old!). She was 16 and I had just graduated high school that heat and we were bored and decided to go see this. I loved it!
Santa Cruz, Ca. was rocked by the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, ' Little Mermaid' came shortly after and gave many people Joy amid the ruin and loss, myself included. Thank you Jodi Benson & Disney.
Jodi and Paige are my favorite Disney voices. I hope they work together one day, like do a new Disney movie together with their characters being sisters. Anyway Jodi is such a blessed woman with a gift from God.
th-cam.com/video/mc-GJjpGUNY/w-d-xo.html Here Jodi and Paige did a game together for Oh My Disney, for the release of the second Wreck It Ralph movie, which reunites all the Disney Princess!
I love Jodi Benson,she just amazing. I was blessed to see her speak and sing at a fan expo at year and WOW! It was such an outstanding amazing experience! I'm looking forward to the next one.
Ariels a long time favorite Disney princess of mine! I think it's so wonderful that Jodi still feels connected to her as well as been able to connect with the kids who have also felt connected to Ariels character :)
I almost was able to meet her. She was at a comic convention I was at. But I didn't have enough money to see her 😭😭😭😭😭 it's incredible she knows how much she's been a part of all of our lives
She still has such a beautiful voice..it's hard to believe it's been that long since this movie came out..I ❤ this movie,I still ❤ this movie..I still know all the words to all the songs..it's wonderful that that movie and Jodi Benson's voice has helped so many people and that so many people still love that movie..she seems like such a lovely person ☺
I saw Ariel the movie when I was four years old in the theater and it's the first movie I remember seeing. I'm glad Jodi is well. She actually does a lot of other Disney voices too.
I’ll never forget when I heard her sing this in front of me in a medium sized room with other choir members at Disney’s Candlelight celebration. We were all in tears and chills.
I love you Jodi Benson God bless you, thank you for all that you do for the Children that feel the Hope and Strength of your Powerful Voice, thank you for making Children's Lives better and let them know that Life is worth Living.

Who else closed their eyes trying to see if she sounded like Ariel?🙋♀️😂
No wtf ur just weird
Me xD
yes 💚
Yeah I did this just to try and match the voice with the original one Ive heard over and over throughout the years. Its pretty close at times, if not spot on.
Meee
if she doesn’t get some sort of cameo in the upcoming live action movie i’ll cry
Ashley Moon I hope she does. She got a cameo in Enchanted, which was also a Disney movie, so it is possible.
They better pay her deserved respect with a decent cameo part
They should’ve just had her play Ariel so as not to be ageist.
I'd love it if she was one of the wedding attendees in the crowd for the Wedding Crash scene. I'd be like, "Wait, is that... Hey, it is! It's Jodi!"
YES
I Love The Little Mermaid, can't believe it's 30 years old now
I love it too, its one of favorite Disney animated movie of all time.
I can. Because I'm almost that old and I watched this when I was a kid 😂
It's one of my favourites.
On November 17th it will be. Cuz that’s the day it was out in theaters
I GAVE YOU 1k LIKES
I’m saving my money now to book her for my wedding

I know right
We need to honor all of Disney’s voice over actors and singers. They need to get celebrity star treatment. My eyes swell and chest aches for the beautiful memories they’ve put in my heart. Thank you,
Some are dead tho
It's called the Disney Legend Award...
Yes it gives me chills! 😫❤️
Well said!!
I agree
She voices Ariel in everything Disney does with the character of Ariel. Nobody will ever replace Jodie Benson as Ariel!
Hanna Evelyn I think they did the same with the jasmine voice over as well the never replaced her.
@@kkandsims4612 awesome to know
Hanna Evelyn until they have to 🤐
KK and sims 4 & belle, ursula, rapunzel...i believe they try to do that with as much characters as they can
Disney tends to use the original VA's whenever possible. I think some of them may even be on permanent retainer.
My twin brother has autism and this is one of the few songs he knows word by word. I sing it with him every single day. Thank you, Jodi, for being the voice of our favorite Disney princess and the artist of this beautiful, amazing song!
Aw that’s beautiful!
My little sister is under the spectrum as well and she started talking when we took her to disney world, now she loves anything disney
Engie what!! That’s awesome! I’m so proud of her! It’s so fascinating to hear so many stories about how much Disney impacted people’s lives!
@@marcelavega3930 we went to disney world in january and she got to play Beast in storybook tales with belle. She was soo proud :)

ariel and rapunzel are so similar
Her voice quality thirty some years later is amazing! She can slip into her voice soo easily, it's crazy!
right? I'm more impressed how she's kept her tone and voice quality over the years. it seems like a hard thing for most singers

I have a Similar experience with my mom-Who was and is still on drugs-
A lot of things happened but the worst was when she wouldn’t let me go outside-I just wanted some fresh air-
And to see the stars-
I ran out the front door one night and sat and breathed and cried because of how much I missed being outside at night-
My mother came to me-screaming at me
She locked me in my room-
I ripped the screen out of my window
(it was already falling out)
And sat by the window trying to breathe- and singing this song
It took me a while to write this-
(Panic Attack)
But I will say it’s easier to write things here than talking about it with certain people
Wish you all well,

daidai907 I went to see it with my sister when I was 18 (I feel so old!). She was 16 and I had just graduated high school that heat and we were bored and decided to go see this. I loved it!
Santa Cruz, Ca. was rocked by the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, ' Little Mermaid' came shortly after and gave many people Joy amid the ruin and loss, myself included. Thank you Jodi Benson & Disney.
michael cortez I was conceived during those aftershocks thank you very much ✌️

Jodi and Paige are my favorite Disney voices. I hope they work together one day, like do a new Disney movie together with their characters being sisters. Anyway Jodi is such a blessed woman with a gift from God.
Who does Paige voice?

Here Jodi and Paige did a game together for Oh My Disney, for the release of the second Wreck It Ralph movie, which reunites all the Disney Princess!
Do one with Lea Salonga, aka the singing voice of Jasmine and Mulan!
i love how she says she never gets tired of singing Ariel's songs. she is so grateful and appreciative.

Jodi your a blessing that can't be replaced love you
Ariels a long time favorite Disney princess of mine! I think it's so wonderful that Jodi still feels connected to her as well as been able to connect with the kids who have also felt connected to Ariels character :)
What a beautiful soul to go with a beautiful voice. Thank you Jodi, this movie is my childhood. 💜
The story about the little girl made me cry. Who would do that to a child?? My goodness 😔
I still cry at the aaah part but part of that world ,part of your world and under the sea are my favorite songs from Disney's the little mermaid
It's pretty cool how stories and fictional characters can hsve such an emotional impact on people, I almost cried whenever Ariel appeared
I almost was able to meet her. She was at a comic convention I was at. But I didn't have enough money to see her 😭😭😭😭😭 it's incredible she knows how much she's been a part of all of our lives
Never give up! Someday, your dreams will come true!
She still has such a beautiful voice..it's hard to believe it's been that long since this movie came out..I ❤ this movie,I still ❤ this movie..I still know all the words to all the songs..it's wonderful that that movie and Jodi Benson's voice has helped so many people and that so many people still love that movie..she seems like such a lovely person ☺
She has the most beautiful spirit god bless her
I love this! I am 22 and still have my first Ariel doll. I got her when I turned 2. She means the world to me eventhough I've grown up.
I need to see Ariel and Belle as best friends! 😭 DISNEY TAKE MY MONEY
I saw Ariel the movie when I was four years old in the theater and it's the first movie I remember seeing. I'm glad Jodi is well. She actually does a lot of other Disney voices too.
And she’s real life BFFs with Belles voice actress.
My two Childhoods favorite films!!
The Little Mermaid was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Thank you for the memories Jodi! She still has the voice
I’ll never forget when I heard her sing this in front of me in a medium sized room with other choir members at Disney’s Candlelight celebration. We were all in tears and chills.
The Little Mermaid has always been so special to me. Seeing this video makes me cry
I love you Jodi Benson God bless you, thank you for all that you do for the Children that feel the Hope and Strength of your Powerful Voice, thank you for making Children's Lives better and let them know that Life is worth Living.
