I love how Jodi always mentions Howard Ashman at just about every chance she can. She does so much to keep his memory alive and to help new people learn about someone who was so important but gone far too soon.

Ahsoka and Ariel 😍 this is some special Disney magic 🥹

[@nathancruz9172]

Yay 😁

It's really incredible to see both legendary actors Ashley Eckstein and Jodi Benson (both Star Wars and the Little Mermaid legends) get together for the first time. In fact, I came up with a crazy idea about these 2 girls being in DC'S Young Justice season 5 as both Princess Koriand'r/Starfire and Kara Zor-El/Supergirl (Earth-16 versions of DC Universe's pretty, beautiful and sexy ladies), since they had a little bit of DC Universe in them. They were both Aquagirl II/Mareena and Cheetah...when I was at Fan-Expo Comic-Con in Philly months ago I met with Eckstein and gave her information on how to become Kara Zor-El and she LOVED MY IDEA, much to her joy and surprise. As for Jodi Benson, I spoke with her on Galaxycon one time and I gave her a yet proposition but recommendation on playing the role of Starfire and she LOVED MY IDEA right when I showed her the character, since some of her fellow Disney and Kingdom Hearts actors are in DC Universe as well, same goes for some of Eckstein's fellow Disney/Star Wars/Marvel/DC Universe actors are in it as well, like Jesse McCartney, Kath Soucie, Tara Strong, Phil LaMarr, James Arnold Taylor, Grey DeLisle-Griffin, Dee Bradley Baker, Lacey Chabert, Alyson Stoner, Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar, Kari Wahlgren, Nolan North, Troy Baker, Ben Disken, Corey Burton, Alyssa Milano, Steve Blum, Kevin Michael Richardson, Danica McKellar, and Greg Cipes for example.

So insightful and lovely to hear them both talking about how these projects came to be - was really inspiring!

[@IsaAdney1]

Creative project panic is SO relatable. Ryan is just the best interviewer!

Wow, I had just turned 7 when I saw the little Mermaid with my Mom and I absolutely loved it. I'm enjoying any opportunity to watch LM with my little girl 💕 we sing the songs in the bathtub (she just turned 3). Such a special time.

[@nathancruz9172]

That’s sweet.

[@sebsandford]
