I loved Jodi Benson in “Thumbelina” I had no idea that she was also the voice of Ariel in “The Little Mermaid” from 1989 until I became an adult. I’m so excited to see this film since 2019. I was born in 1989 and my birthday is a few days before the live action version with Halle is released. Best 34th B Day gift ever 😢❤

She appears in " Enchanted "

[@kay_bella8727]

Wow. She’s still Ariel. She just transformed when she started to sing.

[@MontyKentell]

Jodi truly has a gift, she was born to sing 🫶🏾🤍

[@katiebuerk6913]

[@idreona]

Thank u Jodi for being real and honest about Hailey's performance she did an amazing job ... Jodi will always be Ariel just her singing brings me back to the movie ...

I love Jodi Benson as Ariel she's very nice

[@user-tb5km3fu1k]

Jodi Benson! My sister and I are a huge Little mermaid fan! Thank you for voicing Ariel!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@andrewmwakanandi4966]

Oh jodie your Ariel voice is still phenominal

[@AlexDisney23]

It’s kind of feel like Ariel meet Ariel! I love it. This is why I taught a transpired, Disney generation moment from the past generation to the next generation. This is what legacy is all about.

[@emmad.176]

I love how much she loves Ariel :)

[@aliciamartin4855]

I love jodie a great singing voice, i wanna have her book ❤

[@sabrinawilliams2438]

One correction, "I'm Ariel Hall." 🤣😂🤣😂

[@Tel934]

Tamron, you look absolutely gorgeous!

[@VocallyYours3]

Wow this updated KZbin is awesome!!👏🏽 Love the show #TamronHall!!

[@9rbloomer836]

I understand what they’re saying about everyone seeing themselves in the character, but didn’t they relate to her already from the beginning anyway? Isn’t that why they love Ariel? Why does a character have to be the the same race as you in order to relate to them?

[@lb3843]

It doesn’t. They just picked Halle because they fell in love with her personality and talent.

[@MiaRTV]

I posted a video where I met Jodi benson because you inspired me!💖

[@ebonyspeaklife]

I loved this! Wish I was in the audience!

[@norijean3279]

It's so incredible 💕💕 But there should be Asian Ariel too, I hope the next version after Halle will be Asian.

[@bikboto-zx6my]

Id rather see an Asian Black Panther. When a billionaire Asian real estate mogul buys Wakanda and turns it into a decent place to live.

[@mushmouf1400]

[@actorjulion101]

[@jmaldo92]

Can Black people just have their moment for a second? Lol

[@TrinityJC]

Actually, there has been an Asian Ariel on Broadway! Her name is Diana Huey, and she's amazing!! Unfortunately, she was also on the receiving end of racist backlash. But she didn't let it get to her, either! So proud of all of our POC Ariels!

1989 Disney movie was better than this awful remake based on the clips on nostalgic critic channel 😊

[@nothx512]

Only Sebastian stayed the same...wonder if Tiana will ever get rebooted played by another race

[@bigbeeno1885]

Tiana was actually a real person set in new Orleans in the 1920s era and her being African American goes along with the story so no that can't happen. You can't compare a fictional mermaid with nonfiction character Like Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana.

[@demekonrn]

If only Jesus stayed the same instead of being changed into a whyte man in every single image I've ever seen in my life😏

[@kimbronson3520]

White folks don't want minorities to have a damn thing that's positive and inspiring. Building this country wasn't enough for them ungrateful mofo's. They still don't want to give credit for that. Nor do they want to see a black person playing a "make believe" character. You just can't please racist's White's no matter what you do.

The Little Mermaid should've been Danish.. she's original culture

[@gdesiree29]

Where is the culture in the story ? I'm waiting

[@Naphtali__]

I hate to break it to you but black people can be danish

[@HA-tx6rx]

Ariel is meant to represent the Red Sea go look up where that is and why she’s now black then you can shut up

[@jmaldo92]

The story has absolutely nothing to do with being Danish. Unless there's a strict rule about mermaids needing to be Danish 😂

[@cormacbowman6595]

Ida Corr is black and is Danish
