Jodi Benson, Voice of Disney’s Ariel: The Interview #LittleMermaidEvent

by

In 1989 a new voice hit our ears that was like waves on the ocean; soft, lilting and absolutely hypnotic. Disney’s mermaid wild child, Ariel, had us giggling about dinglehoppers and clutching at our shirts anxiously as we waited for true love to come through at the end.

I’ve Got Pac Man Sticker Fever and It’s Driving Me Crazy, Driving Me Crazy
