[@Green4CloveR]

Disney should go back to casting less known voice actors than the current celebrities they use today. They chose voices that better fit the character and story. Robin Williams is/was the exception. That was a genius casting choice.

[@edenbunn3536]

Green4CloveR Robin Williams pretty much kicked off the trend of famous people in animated movies there only to make money

[@chelc3474]

I was about to say the same thing. Robin Williams being cast in Aladdin, and them exploiting him every chance they could against his will, and his contract, is the reason they cast celebrities instead of voice actors. Disney made record money backstabbing him. Robin Williams was so outraged by how they betrayed him when he played that role. They knew his only condition to signing on to the movie was that he wanted them to sell the movie, and not him; to keep the reason he was doing the role to begin with pure. (He wanted to have a fun movie to share with his children.) Long story short, Robin told disney they were despicable, disney said they didnt think hed take being exploited for profit so hard, Robin basically said f u, and walked. Thats why the dude that plays Homer Simpson was Genie in the second movie, that they barely put time into animating properly, before they promptly threw that crap straight to vhs and dvd. Because disney selling out Robin that hard after conning him to do the part with lies, Disney lost him, lost his respect, and it cost them a lot to win him back for the third installment of the series. Which disney didnt mind, because they made a ton on him the first time.

Best Wedding Gift Ever!!! Jodi didn’t miss a note and this something that bride will carry with her forever, such a beautiful gift.

[@recklessroyalty4654]

I love how the bride tuned into a 10 year old girl again when Jodi came out and started singing 🥹❤️

[@DailyDoseOfMigue]

It’s like she got a flashback to her childhood for 3 minutes and then snap right back into present day! 😭 this is amazing!

[@lykoslove1053]

I love how she’s just so shocked and keeps looking around for people to be shocked like “It’s Jodi Bensons?! Holy shit guys it’s Jodi Benson!” but everyone’s just like “Who is this?...”

[@okayfloatstudios3097]

I think the bride's siblings and parents knew exactly who Jodi was and she was looking at them for their reactions. It was just the other wedding guests confused lol

[@chris200830]

What a great performance! This song is incredibly hard to perform. The fact that she still remembers how to do it so faithfully is amazing. And, I have to say, she will always be Ariel, no matter how many times Disney tries to remake it.

[@anastasiaSPb]

I started crying and couldn't stop, the divine voice of Jody, an amazing surprise for the bride! It's incredible! I cried the whole video. I'm from Russia, I'm 35 years old, I adored the Little Mermaid all my childhood, all my life. The bride will remember this surprise for a lifetime. I wish you all happiness!!!

[@roxybaby75]

jeroen janssen that’s weird coz I’m the same! Me & my great grandma & other cousins in 1996 as well. We watched it few times until she was no longer afraid of little mermaid’s big eyes & before she passed away. Bless her.

Omg me too! It was my first movie in the theater ever and I was with my grandma ! I still remember everything about it . 😍

Forget the video bringing me to tears, this comment did it. Saw this twice in the theater with my grandma and grandpa when it first came out. Grandpa passed in 2002, grandma passed in 2005. Such a great memory I always think of when I see the title =)

I just came across this and I was in tears. Jodi hasn't lost the passion she put into Ariel after all this time. She's even done an amazing job of keeping the ability to sound so young and almost exactly the same as the original performance. Watching her perform and watching the bride react was beautiful beyond words. 🥲
