D23 Expo Full Panel Presentation of The Little Mermaid 30th Celebration

Filmed 8.25.19 Sun
Full panel presentation to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Little Mermaid hosted by Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel! Amazing throwback footage of them working behind the scenes and in person commentary from the legends that put this all together: Mark Henn, Mike Peraza, Ron Clements and Ruben Aquino. Hilarious video footage and messages from Buddy Hackett (voice of Scuttle) and Pat Carroll (voice of Ursula). Special cameo from Aulii Carvalho and Sebastian and more fun and games!

I and many others am sick and tired of people attacking Ariel, keep in mind that Ariel saw the good and the value of the human world long before Eric came into the picture, he was just another reason why humanity wasn't deserving of total hatred. People seem to forget that children are supposed to leave home to pursue their goals, dreams, meet new people, etc... but that didn't mean she wanted to leave her old world behind at all. Ariel doesn't change who she was and she most certainly never gave up her voice, apparently her haters seemed to have forgotten the golden rule in life, Actions speak louder than words. Ariel remained wholly herself on land and sea and her voice was still with her in her actions and that is why Eric loves her, because of who she was. And plus, she also broke down the walls of hate and prejudice and united the merpeople and the human worlds combined because of her belief in the good of humanity. Ariel is one of the best princesses and a great role mode

after all these years, Jodi Benson’s still got it! Hope she gets a cameo in the live action little mermaid!

[@AnelasFootsteps]

I hope so! I love when all the princesses appeared in Enchanted, they’ll find a way to include her 😉

[@sebsandford1858]

Jodi actually made her cameo in the Little Mermaid 🧜🏻‍♀️ remake as a market vendor selling a “dingle-hopper” to Halle Bailey.

It's more than "a dinglehopper" to celebrate this unique coming of age story being "a part of our world". Stay safe everyone!

Omg, I would have died being able to be on that stage with her! I mean, being able to sing Part of Your World with Ariel herself?! Sign me up! The girls are adorable. They got to sing with one of their idols, I love it.

your welcome, it was a great one glad everyone that missed it was able to enjoy it this way!

@@AnelasFootsteps I wish for disney to do a hand drawn animated movie adaptation of the musical of Joseph and the amazing Technicolor dreamcoat, it should be directed by John Musker and Ron Clements and the cast should be while Donny Osmond should reprise his role of Joseph, Ariel herself Jodi Benson should play the narrator. What do u think of that please tell me.
