I ran across a crazy article earlier today from KTLA
It was an interview with Jodi Benson - the voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the film and Benson talked all about how it changed her life
“(fans) remember who they were with when they saw the movie the first time. Maybe that sibling is no longer with them, that grandparent is no longer with them. It reminds them of a relationship that had been broken with a parent. So they have all sorts of emotions that go on.”
“The Little Mermaid” also had a big role in making Disney into an animation juggernaut and reviving the art form. Many believe we’d never have Anna and Elsa from “Frozen”
Watch the interview AND the trailer for the 30th Anniversary of the film below
