Sing Out Jodi! "Part of Your World"

She wants to be part of your woooooooooooorrrld. 

The original Ariel, Jodi Benson, sings her signature tune at the opening of the The Little Mermaid ride which I think just opened in California ("Adventure Park")  but I can't keep track of their parks. It's coming to Florida's Magic Kingdom too.

How many times do you think people have asked her to sing that song for them since 1989: 1,989? 14,000? 890,000? Infinity?

I'm not sure when I came to be so obsessed with The Little Mermaid but sometime about 4 years ago I realized that though I always claim Sleeping Beauty and Beauty & The Beast as my favorite Disney movies (and Jungle Book as my childhood favorite), I mention Little Mermaid, like, a thousand times more often than any of those. What's wrong with me?

Obsessed.

The ride apparently has a surprise ending and Movie|Line made nine cheeky guesses (though #7, "flounder sandwiches", wouldn't surprise me at all, since Disney is totally cannibalistic with their 'children) but they forgot one.

I'll help them by providing it...

#10 the fattest white-haired passenger is impaled and electrocuted.

I love that song and movie so much. I can't believe the song wasn't even nominated while the inferior Kiss te Girl was. I will love this movie forever. I would love to see more posts on Disney animation and the classic movies.

How does a seven year old know they're gay? They identify with Ursula the Sea Witch.

Quick Trivia: Ursula was originally intended to be voiced by Divine!

Hey Nat! I remembered you were a big Little Mermaid fan (your top 3 Disneys are mine too, and in the same order!), so I thought I'd stop by and point out a post that might interest you about the movie and some of its mythological origins:

I totally agree with Mike that the wrong song took the prize, this one is so much better!!!!
