  • I remember watching the entire movie and watching this at the end, and afterwards feeling a feeling I didn't understand. Older, I know that it was a feeling of happiness and hope. Hearing this song after the movie makes you a part of Ariel's world.

  • @SorasBF was that on VHS? and was there a part before the movie of her talking to 2 gold fish?

  • @sarahconrad15 Oh yeah! She would do a preface to all the commercials! Oh how could I forget...I have to find that clip now.

  • @sarahconrad15 I found it! /watch?v=2Q4Ho1Hon1c

  • @SorasBF  yep thats the one, the closest thing to special features you could get at the time :P

  • She IS lip syncing. The recording that she's singing to is the one in the actual movie. She's lip syncing to her own voice.

  • Idk if its me.. but i feel her <3 Like when is it MY turn? We can all walk through streets, we have feet! :p

    But were so.. plain? Like we need adventure ! <3

  • ever since i was little the little mermaid has always been my favourite, i could listen to this song all day. i even have this song on my i phone <3

  • it's so different when she performs this live O:

  • my young daughter was amazed why jodie and not ariel was singing.

  • ursula and morgana disliked this

  • i remember watching this on VHS when i was 4 (i was born in 1998) and then after i curiously pulled the stringy thing out, my parents got me the DVD, but it didn't have this video. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I JUST CRIED.

  • Whenever I hear this song I want to cry...

  • It just helps to understand the real meaning for these movies and characters. And I bet a lot of people forget that these Disney princess were made by a man. Walt Disney just tweaked them a little, cause if you knew the real stories of these characters, from the Grimm Brothers, you might not have the same respect for them as you do now. I don't know that much about them, but Pinocchio is a really mean in the real story about him. I need to brush-up on my Disney history. Well, that's all.

  • @DaisyGirl818

    I know what you mean I looked up some of the old Grimm fairytales - they're so brutal, in cinderella the sisters get blinded!!! It's a bit depressing really.

  • Seeing these kind of videos of the people who actually sing them. That is the real disney magic. I'm a Disney fanatic. I don't care if you don't like that. I do because one it's fun, two I grew up watching and listening to all these Disney movies and shows, and I've always wanted to know the insides of the movies. Now, I know. Honestly, it's really fun getting to know the inside scoop on how they created these characters and why.

  • i miss my childhood! ;(

  • im sooooooo oppsesed with this song! i listen 2 it all the time:D

  • Love her voice! <3 My favorite disney movie, and princess, and song!

  • This movie and the Lion King are my best disney movies.

  • She will always be Ariel to me :)

  • i remember seeing this at the end of the vhs and thinking, why is this woman singing Ariel's song, and then realizing that Ariel wasnt real :(

  • How old is she here?

  • every time I hear this song it makes me go back to my childhood and it makes me cry. Beautiful memories. <3

  • when i listen to this i think of how nice it would beto live my dreams of being an actress

  • I remember this being at the back of the VHS tape when i was little. awww memories

  • Ursula and morgana disliked this video!!

  • i so remember seeing this music video as a little girl, i was singing along with her!^^ i still remember the words to this song all of these years and i'm 22 now

  • I love her voice!

  • sissel kyrkjebo is much better. i have heard many people who sing this song better than her. she is NOT bad, but not the best.

  • @heatbeat10 you'd never have heard this song before if she hadn't have written it for 'The Little Mermaid' so for that reason, this is by far the best version because it's the original. The only person who cannot sing their song better than a cover is Rebecca Black. I wonder how she felt when 'Glee' got more positive feedback from singing Friday than she did :L

  • I recently bought a DVD of this . It has the music video on it. It is the little mermaid read along DVD(USA) if anyone is interested to know. Yea I agree, Jodi is not a good lip syncer. But most artist who really sing LIVE aren't.

  • It's amazing how when you hear and see these Disney movies you feel like you did when you were a kid; now that is true magic.

  • When I was little I used to say, "Mom, look at this lady lip syncing to Ariel! She is such a wannabe," :P

    Now I know that she was the VOICE to Ariel... lol

  • this song is so touching i saw it b4 but when i started watching it agian i cryed....

  • This Makes me cry because when i first watched The Little Mermaid i was 4 and i loved it so much then a year later we went to Disney World and I met ariel there. My dad recorded me meeting her and I was over joyed and i didnt wanna leave, I never stopped saying Bye Ariel! *wave wave*. My dad set me up on a statue of ariel looking up at the castle and my dad played the "part of that world" song in the video. My mom sang this song with me after we got back. I love Ariel, and I always will. <:.)

  • I didn't remember this video, until I saw her pick up the fork from the sand and hold it. Then it was like a rush of memories flooding back in my mind. <3

  • I will never forget watching this movie as a kid those were the days.

  • I remember this from when I was little.  :3

  • Comment removed

  • For some weird reason, it looks like she's lip syncing to a little mermaid song. It's hard to believe she is really is singing this. I can't picture anyone other than a cartoon mermaid singing this song :P

  • @happythunder3 its because she is lip syncing...what you are hearing is the original recording for the movie. and what you are seeing is a music vid Jodi did 8 years after.

    P.S thats how all music videos are done...lip synced

  • @happythunder3 Maybe because A) She is lip-synching (even though it is her voice), and B) The song was recorded 10 years before this video was filmed so she seems a little older and out of place, and C) In her Ariel singing voice, it's childish and cartoony in comparison to her natural adult voice.

  • @happythunder3 She is lip syncing... its a music video :P

  • Ariel inspired me to play with forks :> Those good days<33

  • you were a memad

  • Jodi Benson has the most beautiful voice. Thanks for uploading this video.

  • did anyone else want to tear up when they watched this? i feel like my childhood is slipping away :(

  • @SuperRonnie96 ik!!

  • @SuperRonnie96 I cried!! :( I miss being a kid so much </3

  • She has a great voice, but the lip-synching in the video is weird.

  • She sounds like a 16 year old :O how old is she?

  • @jodylou93 she's close to 50, but at that time she was in her late 20s, but she does have the voice of a young girl!

  • @jodylou93 im sorry correction, she is 50 now, she was born in october 1961, hopes this helps

  • THEIR NO THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO THIS LIKE THIS VIDEO....IT'S VERRY WONDERFULL

  • I LOVE this video! :) I met Jodi Benson three years ago and it was the most magical meeting of my entire life!!!! :D She's so kind and I sat in the front row when she performed this song! :) Ms. Benson, if you're reading this, thanks for making one of my dearest dreams come true! :)

  • @PrinceMarc22 i would have cried in her arms... just saying lmao

  • i am the proud owner of the vcr tape :")

  • ... I can't help thinking... "Oh look, Jodi Benson is lip-singing to an Ariel song!" I'm so used to that voice coming out of Ariel. :P It's odd seeing Jodi actually singing. :P

  • @roseswindler Ha YESSS!!! It's VERY weird! cuz u know they just use the track+they lip sync to the song... but still, nice to see!

  • @roseswindler she is lip-singing, to the recording she made when she played the part of ariel, check the video of her recording the song, when she wasn't lip-singing

  • she goes to my aunts church

  • @riley57015 what is the church  called?

  • i remeber watching this at the end of the movie when i was a toddler it was when it was on VCR

  • lol she's awesome! she was the voices of patsy and jane doe in camp lazlo as well! she so talented=)

  • woooww... pure magic in her voice

  • she has beautiful voice

  • This is better then what they call "music" now Dontcha think?

  • i actually remember watching this scene from when i was little!! CRAZY! u know she's barbie in toy story??

  • It's weird seeing Jodi sing it because I associate the voice with Ariel. It's kind of like she's lip syncing to Ariel haha.

  • @SavannahJoelle14: but jodi IS ariel. this is her signature song, like over the rainbow for judy garland/dorothy gale.

  • T.T damn she barley has to try when she sings ..XD

  • the little mermaid is the frist disney movie i seen as a little girl!^^ i was born on the same year it came out, but saw it when i was 2 or 3 years old. Jodi Benson is the best singer and voice actress too. i was glad they got her to play ariel in Kingdom hearts as Ariel and yes she's in kh too..i check

  • She has such a beautiful voice!!!

  • I LOVE HERRRRRRRRRRRRR amazing VOICE WOW we need real talent and singers like her

  • This brings back memories. After school would pop this in the VCR and have popcorn with my parents. Thank you for the upload!

  • Oooh I've never seen this before -clicks-

    -3 seconds later- OMG I REMEMBER THIS

    Love remembering stuff from way back then :'D

  • how old was she here?

  • My little girl loves Jodi Benson. The first time she heard her sing she said mommy I want to learn this song. Would love it if she could see my Macy sing it. She ask me If I thought that she would be able to sing like Jodi one day... I told her that I totally think it is possible. Thank you for being a good role model

  • She's also Ariel's speaking voice right?

  • @KeiHime013 Yep. Singing and speaking voice.

  • I had the 1998 VHS re-release, probably because the movie came out before I was born and I was still really little when it was released again.

  • Wow this is really rare. I didn't know many people who bought the VHS re-release in 1998.

    It's too bad it's not a new vocal recording from Jodi.

  • This wasn't at the end of my VCR :/

    But I will in Denmark so that's might by why, there was a commercial about DisneyLand Paris in the end of mine :P

  • Wow, it's really weird seeing her say "Sure - she's got everything" and all the rest of the stuff. She's got this little bitty sounding voice fit for Ariel, but it's coming out of this gorgeous adult woman!

  • @NiennaArnatuile She was 16 when she recorded it for the movie.

  • @Tom6093 I know haha, but was she 16 in this video? If so, she's a really mature looking 16 year old haha

  • @Tom6093 : Well I don't think so. The movie come out at 1989. She's born in 1961. And the video probably come out after the movie so she was at least 28 in the vid :D

  • I never knew who this was when i was little..now she's my idol. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! <3

  • this makes me a little sad my ex girlfreind sounds just like Jodi Benson

  • omg this played at the end of my VCR tape!! <#

  • :) Got to love Jodi Benson she is the only  Ariel :)

  • This is a great song

  • I still have my 1990 and 1998 VHS' and they both still work!

  • @TaleSpinTV1990 Me too! I have about 30 Disney VHS.. I would probably still prefer them over modern DVD.. makes them special!

  • You're in Quadruple Trouble now.

  • it was kinda weird actually seeing her say"you want thinga-ma-bobs? I got twenty." lol, it's not as odd on the cartoon.

  • Can you believe Jodi is 50 and "Little mermaid" came out 22 yrs ago this November?

    PS Jodi says she doesnt mind being associated with this movie she likes it when people come up and say" youre the voice of ariel,right?" she is a talent kid woman

  • OMG!!! This is such a GEM!!!!! Thanx for posting this!!!

  • I remember this back when I watched VCR when I was small!

    aaaah memories :')

  • wow, her kids can say, 'my mom is ariel' thats sooo cool!! she has the voice that Prince eric was looking for <3

  • I remember this video being at the end of the VCR. I've been looking everywhere for this <3

  • @inuyashaswoman When I saw Jodi in that dress... I immediately recognized this. How many years has it been?

  • @hannahfan142536987 It's been, like...eleven or twelve years since I've seen this last lol. Too long!
