Jodi Benson


I have always loved this movie & The Little Mermaid

and it was only just now that I found out Jodi.. the voice of Ariel also did he voice for Thumbelina!!!!

It's been a while since I've seen either of the films & I'm just wondering.. does her voice sound exactly the same in both films?

reply

Yes, to me anyway. When I first saw it many years ago, I was thinking to myself, "Is that Ariel?" but at the time, I couldn't prove it.

"There is a power beyond good and evil. The power to create and the power to destroy."

I think she's tried to make her voice sound younger for Thumbelina, possibly just because she's meant to be so tiny, and a tinier body usually means a higher, younger sounding voice. But I could tell it was her.

Oh wow...you're right. Now that i think of their voices, they sound exactly the same. espcially their giggles. wow...thats weird.....

reply

I think her singing is higher than Ariels, but the laughs are the same....

I couldn't tell, i knew she sounded familiar, i just couldn't place it.

reply

Yup, that'd be Jodi. =) She pitched her voice higher for Thumbelina. But at some parts she definitely sounds like Ariel. I think it's cute that they're both Hans Christian Andersen characters that she voiced. ^-^

I believe she also did the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast...
