Fun fact: In another Disney movie, they had Jodie play as an administrative assistant and during a scene featuring her, little mermaid music was playing. The movie in question is called Enchanted
Paige O’Hara (Belle) is the same. Broadway trained and stage performer however her voice has noticeably changed. She’s not like Jodi at all who managed to sustain her singing voice that well. Still love her though. She will ALWAYS be Belle for me
I know but like with dancers and actors sometimes their bodies don’t do what they used to.😂So it’s safe to assume that she still doesn’t have those vocals.Which she stated that she can still sing it but you can tell how her voice sounded and how it sounds now because you can hear the difference.
She still sounds like Ariel❤️❤️A little older, sure, because it’s been YEARS, but she’s still Ariel❤❤ Edit: Thank you for all the likes! I am just wanting to say that I feel she still sounds like Ariel. Many may not feel as though she does, but I hear it. I understand and respect your opinions and comments.❤️❤️ Edit two: I just found out my grandma has this same VHS tape-I was so happy to learn that
When she was recording the song, she really was crystal clear and very fluid but now, not only is she having a hard time singing but her voice does not sound like Ariel. Her voice does not have a distinguishable quality that even when older, you can still hear it is her. So for me, a person trying to copy the original recording would sound more like Ariel than Jodi.
I’m a little mermaid fan of course but didn’t learn about the actress Jodi until I heard she was the real Ariel thorough her niece. I’m passionate about fundraising for childhood cancer as it’s seriously underfunded. Jodi’s niece Kylie was diagnosed with pediatric bone cancer at age 12 and died days before her 13th birthday. Jodi does lots of charity/ fundraising for the cause now. I encourage everyone to read up on Kylie’s story and educate themselves about pediatric cancer!
I somewhat met her before too! I performed at Disney’s Epcot with my choir for the Christmas Day Candle light processional and she was the celebrity speaker they had to do the story of Christ. She also talked about how much she adored Disney and her family.
The fact that she signed over the mistake, I was thinking “aye at least the VHS box has a plastic cover so she didn’t really write on the actual paper cover” but then I rewatch it and noticed it was fully out of the VHS box 😭😂 she knew what she was doing!
Actually, these covers are not made by animators but by other companies who are given insctructions by disney, apparently they drew one one the castle's towers like a di-
This was drawn in protest against Disney horrible treatment of animators. They will legitimately try to make these guys work 50 - 60+ hours to make unachievable goals. Disney isn't a fairy tale dream company. Its a fucking nightmare
You are so right about that! My brother worked at Disneyland for a while as a plumbing contractor. I was very surprised when he quit working there…he said it was a terrible place to work!! I just couldn’t believe it.
one of my best friends did an internship at disney world in florida and ended up quitting after 2 months because of the crap he had to deal with as a cast member
As a male her singing is still beautiful headed a tear I grew up watching a lot of Disney VHS movies thank you grandma for having them Manny restless nights as a kid watching them then forgetting to remind it when I put another one in 🤣🤣 I'm 25 now this will forever hold a spot in my heart
This is so obviously not true for so many reasons and the fact that so many people believe it is really disappointing, even though you literally JUST made it up
I agree. It was banned because of the castle drawing so why would you write/sign her name over top of it? You would think that she would write on the back part of it instead of over the castle. And it's just common sense that that castle is the reason it was banned so why cover it unless you want to be a jerk. I'd like to go meet her and ask her why she thought it was okay to sign over something that's the most important part of it unless she wanted to be a real asshole and what have the fans ever done to her to deserve that kind of behaviour? If she doesn't like the fans then stop going to these conventions. But it tells me that she's really NOT A NICE PERSON but PRETENDS TO BE IN PUBLIC, but signing that where she did, I believe, is cruel AND disrespectful to her own fans!! WTF?!?! . That REALLY pisses me off!!!! 😡 😡 I kind of want to punch her face and grab the hand that she writes with and break her wrist and fingers. Then maybe she'll learn to be nicer to people when she finds out that there's consequences for her nasty behavior. OR stop going to the conventions unless she behaves herself and respects her fans. WE ALL MADE HER FAMOUS and she would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITHOUT ANY OF THE FANS so knock off the bullshit!!!!!
I freakin loved this as a kid was mezmerizing for my 🚺 girl power self // & ariel growing human legs (( being in the human world// like a fish🐟🐠🦀 outta water💦 out of her comfort zone))was such a metaphor for me ➡️ for so many things ((also returning home & self -acceptance ))embrassing her true self // the whole movie & concept way deeper than 1st. appears
I liked king neptune just the way he was i dont see the big deal but with cancel culture today doesnt surprise me // also congrats getting her signature that cover is now gone up in value 💰🪙💵💸💳cha❗️ ching❗️💎🧤👛🛍💎
When she sang "part of their world" I felt like I was a little kid for a second, I almost teared up.. The power she still has in her voice is truly amazing
Holy hell!! Hearing her sing that give me chills!! Lmao. I used to have the exact vhs along with God knows how many other Disney movies. I really wish I still had them since they were such a BIG part of my childhood!
The artist was not under a tight deadline he was fired because they weren’t paying him enough and that illustration was him showing his appreciation with Disney.
I had that same banned cover for The Little Mermaid. My dad unfortunately doesn’t understand how valuable VHS’s are now, and donated that, and several other Disney tapes to a random Library. I was angry and told him in front of my aunt and mother how much it was worth because of the cover, and he just blew it. I don’t think he’s sorry, and the tape was never watched or only watched once. I don’t remember unfortunately. So now some library has my tape and it’s probably watching it into oblivion. I’m really happy that you still have your tape and on top of it. Got it signed by Jodi Benson.
I'm sorry you lost your VHSs, they were so cool. Unfortunately, the value of old Disney VHSs has plummeted to maybe a few dollars per blue diamond copy a a couple of years back. Blame it on a mixture of pandemic and new tech thats incapable with a VHS. They may go up in price, again but who knows. I sell collectables. It's the same with beanie babies. Only certain special realeases with misprints on the tags are very valueable (Like the Princess Diana one with certain markings.) There is so much inflation that the majority of people have to spend their money on food and housing, not collectbles. If you want some unsolicited advice, invest in Mattel. Like now. The Barbie Movie is being released on July 21st. Also if you have any vintage barbies still, those are probably going to get much more valuable around the movie release.
It was funny because they weren't being fired at all, but were going to be working on lion king next I think? they also gave the priest marrying them a boner
Why apologize? It was intentional. That rat movie had a literal naked pic of a woman. Original lion king had the word sex spelt out in stars plus 100s of other things over the years
Yeah it's true she did voice thumbelina in the movie and I treasure all her movies that she voices over the years she was the original Ariel she actually brought the character to life even in today's modern era she still got it and never loses it.
@Casell Peterson yep, but it's crazy that for one, not a lot of ppl know that too little fact and two, whenever she does meet and greets, she rarely if any sing songs from Thumbelina
Yeah, that’s something I’ve always wanted to know more about since the studios were in competition 😂😂😂 Disney sabotaged another ex Disney employee. The people who worked at his studio taught my partner in his classes for animation and shared stories from the movie amongst others. How did Jodi get away with that 😅
I have it still!! My sister did a full report on the messed up things on our Disney tapes. We freeze framed for the word "sex" in lion king and the rescuers with the window, Aladin says "good kitty, nice kitty, take off your clothes", some solid gems in there lol.
She still got the Ariel voice!
She does
Fr it's still so amazing and sounds beautiful 😁👍
Which is impressive AF! Most people's voices lower as we age
She is truly incredible 🤩
She can be a sequel or a different story. Maybe the Mother of Ariel or another mermaid.
her voice aged like fine wine, still sounding clear and light but also mature. Like the little mermaid grew up.

Why are people shocked she can still sing? She’s Broadway trained and did a lot of stage work before Disney.
it's really not deriding her ability but humans voices naturally change as they get older. even whitney houston sounded different in her last days.
Usually as people get older their voice change. Her voice still sounds young, fresh and clear, which is amazing.

Her voice is still as good as she was back in the days. ❤❤
I had that one when I was a kid. I also remember the whole Aladdin thing where someone whispers “take off your clothes” anyone remember that one?
Lion King also had a certain “word” made made out of the stars in the scene where Simba is Talking to Mufasa about their ancestors.

we can argue there are more banned covers out there in the world than signed ones so the uniqueness still increased overall.

Fun fact, Jodi also voiced Don Bluth's Thumbelina
Really?
@@isThisTakenToo--- yep

Yeah it's true she did voice thumbelina in the movie and I treasure all her movies that she voices over the years she was the original Ariel she actually brought the character to life even in today's modern era she still got it and never loses it.
@Casell Peterson yep, but it's crazy that for one, not a lot of ppl know that too little fact and two, whenever she does meet and greets, she rarely if any sing songs from Thumbelina
Yeah, that’s something I’ve always wanted to know more about since the studios were in competition 😂😂😂 Disney sabotaged another ex Disney employee. The people who worked at his studio taught my partner in his classes for animation and shared stories from the movie amongst others. How did Jodi get away with that 😅
I wonder if she gets tired performing that song
Having Jodi Benson call me sweet heart would be a core memory
Jodi voiced Ariel when she was 28 years old. She is currently 62 years old and she's still singing beautifully as the original voice of Ariel :)
What the fuck its been 44 years since the little mermaid?
@@jeancorzo4755 Nope, it's been about 34 years. :))

@@nahnonameniway6 ??? i didnt say any of that?? just saying its been awhile since the little mermaid and she still sings beautifully.
She's still got it. Ariel 😭❤️
I have it still!! My sister did a full report on the messed up things on our Disney tapes. We freeze framed for the word "sex" in lion king and the rescuers with the window, Aladin says "good kitty, nice kitty, take off your clothes", some solid gems in there lol.
That case is now indeed worth a lot of money
She looks happy singing this song and makes the song happy/ daydreamy
She really signed over the castle 😭💀💀💀💀
Her: covers up banned castle with signature
Charles Martinet immediately caught my eye.
