Jodi Benson - Voice of Ariel The Little Mermaid - Panel and Q&A

Renegade Geek - Convention Junkies
Jodi had a delightful panel in Dallas, dare I say it was magical. The packed room hung on her every word, and her openness only served to draw us further into the moment.

[@JacobDreamWorks921]

At 32:50 Jodi sings the famous Ariel's Aria and she still has it after all these years.

[@RenegadeGeek]

JacobDreamWorks921 this panel blew me away, jodi just is so awesome!!!

[@jackmorgan9998]

A tip : you can watch series at KaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@quincyjaxon2105]

@Jack Morgan definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for months myself =)

[@pruefever3468]

57:20 is my favorite moment where Jodi talks about Vanessa! I can't believe someone didn't ask her what is was like to voice both Ariel and Vanessa! That whole Crash the Wedding must have been so much fun for Jodi to record! Had I been there, I would have asked her about voicing Vanessa! :D

[@dhruboahmed7602]

GOD! I still really wanna steal her voice just like Ursula. She is so AMAZING!

[@Deva7]

God bless her. She's such a proud Christian, she always tells her fans she prays for them and wants them to find God. She told me that's her mission, other than just being voice of Ariel.

[@supercoolr9330]

This is really true because my story first began in Alliance, NE when the doctors were saying that I and my parents gonna make a emergency stop at Denver, Colorado- Children's Hospital for 3 weeks, and then the 3 weeks are up, and I, my parents are would be returning home to Hyannis, NE .

[@supercoolr9330]

I cannot believe it, Jodi Benson, your character is 30th years old, wow, long time, since my risky surgery began, and Jodi Benson is always be praying for me when I was first born, it how change my life forever, the song Part of Your World make me wanna cry on Jodi Benson.

What a bold woman Jodi is to mention Jesus

[@RenegadeGeek]

I had a lot to say on the subject but to avoid backlash...... no comment..... I'm upset I didn't get her autograph hopefully she'll come back to Texas soon.

[@Squirrel36]

Oh, you'll receive no backlash from me :) I hope to meet her too, though :) This woman is a great example to little girls everywhere!

[@entertainer1987]

The way she showed how much her faith meant to her helped me get through a bad time in my life.

[@theQuestion626]

Dear Lord her voice is as clear a freakin bell.

[@supercoolr9330]

I felt like crying to myself when my life hero Jodi Benson was singing the song Part of Your World in the movie because it's so beautiful, I'm always remember this song inside my heart forever. Thank you Jodi Benson.

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

[@allisonthomas995]

Guess what everyone Jodi will be in San Antonio for the Alamo City Comic Con in October so if you missed your chance to meet her in Dallas she will be here in San Antonio

[@supercoolr9330]

I wouldn't be here, wasn't for my beloved Disney princess who is Jodi Benson, I have been down this road before, who knows that I'm going to be okay with my life hero Jodi Benson. Thank you, God bless Amanda Ferguson, Benson kids too.

[@Jeannette.81]

Thank you God bless Jodi Benson, You never ever going to guess what song by Miley Cyrus, that I picked out? To explain the risky surgery that I have.

[@raniaanees3663]

32:50 💕💕

[@KristinaHoogs]

Rania Anees I got chills and started to literally bawl.😭😭😭

[@raniaanees3663]

AfterTheWind Me too the scene when Ariel voice gets taken away is special to me and scene she got it back her, Aria is beautiful ❤😚👌

[@kryptonianpowers]

I would ask Jodi if she would provide the voice of Fleur Delacour if *Harry Potter* was a cartoon. And I most definitely can see her being an audiobook and documentary narrator, mostly for children's literature. But I'm not so sure if she would be cast today in cartoon superhero movies/shows, but I can see her voicing Jean Grey.

[@chettykimfuta6780]

[@jacoblakins6628]

12:45 I feel like a jerk for correcting her, but Sleeping Beauty was '59, not '61.

[@jonathanmyers9526]

What if Jodi Benson could be in a Aquaman movie with Jason Momoa?

[@RenegadeGeek]

Be funny if she got a cameo it's all Disney anyways

[@trilogy7605]

Renegade Geek aqua man is not Disney lol it's Warner bros plus it's not marvel its dc

[@jacoblakins6628]

@@trilogy7605 True, but I think it's safe to say that makers of the film drew some inspiration from Ariel exploring the surface for the Sicily, Italy scene.

[@supercoolr9330]

I was born 08/10/1985, this is my birthday, two of my beloved Disney princesses have the same birthday number "10". Two of my favorite Disney princesses want to honor me. I'm starting to cry on this wonderful day.
