Ariel and Aurora were always my favorite as a kid, probably because those songs were the ones I would play constantly to go to sleep at night. the characteristics of her voice is just so unique and beautiful
Jodi Benson's voice is perfect for Ariel. If you read why they decided to cast her for Ariel, they state it's because of the youthful quality she has. No other version can compete with her Jodi's.
Awesome. I just found her now, 2024, singing at a wedding where she says it's her first wedding that is not her family. Please look it up. I watch it over and over and still get teary over 30 years ago when my daughter and I watched this over and over. Thank you for sharing. 💕💕
my whole childhood in her voice I was only 4 when I saw the little mermaid but it will remain with me forever thank you jodi for your incredible voice its truly magical
Jodi the one and only Ariel.....the most beautyful mermaid ever!!! I love watching her singing this song for one of the first times THANKS!! Its beautyful^^
OMG! I still sing this song today when I'm in the shower, I'm such a geek! Lol! This movie's such a big part of my childhood. Me and my sisters used to watch it over and over. I remember a couple of years back my boyfriend's niece came to visit (she was 11 then), and I asked her what movies she liked and my boyfriend told her to sing "Part of Your World" for me. She was too shy, but then I started singing it, and her face lit up and she began to duet with me. I loved that moment!
This song and basically the music is magical and that's where the movie magic went to No movie can top any of these old disney movie and music classics
Jodi benson is so beautiful back then and today i still love her and i she known for doing ariel from the little mermaid jenna from balto 2 & 3 and others
u will get goosebumps. Disney is a heart capturing, timeless, and collector of lightning in a bottle. I heard Disney was struggling as a company in the 80s, there were talks of bankruptcy, the 1989 little mermaid gave Disney life then alladin, lion king , etc and now owns stars wars. One can argue that the little mermaid is a big turning event to Disney
Also in the extended footage from Waking sleeping beauty the 6 min. part with recording part of your world, you find out that this recording is only one of the first one they did. after this Howard Ashman comes in a talks with her about diffrent parts of the song and how it should be. There is also a part called Howards lecture it's from just when he started at the Studio, in that part he sits down and tells about his background and how music and songs should be used in Disney movies.
@YinYangPeace back in those days they didn't record to pre-recorded tracks. the conductor is conducting the orchestra live in the room in front of her. to see an example, click the related video on this page called 'beauty and the beast performing the songs.'
🎵Part of that world 🎵 I want to be where the people are I want to see want to see 'em dancin' Walkin' around on those (Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet Flippin' your fins you don't get too far Legs are required for jumpin', dancin' Strollin' along down a (What's that word again?) street Up where they walk Up where they run Up where they stay all day in the sun Wanderin' free Wish I could be Part of that world What would I give If I could live Outta these waters? What would I pay To spend a day Warm on the sand? Betcha on land They understand That they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women Sick o' swimmin' Ready to stand And ready to know what the people know Ask 'em my questions And get some answers What's a fire and why does it (What's the word?) burn? When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love Love to explore that shore above? Out of the sea Wish I could be Part of that world
After listening to "Part of Your World", I wonder if Jodi ever sang the song "Somewhere That's Green" from the "Little Shop of Horrors"- both composed by Alan Menken.
i. want. to. cry. i miss the times when i was a child, everyday, once i got home from school i would immediately watch one of the disney movies TT^TT before playing with others TT^TT
The footage of Howard Ashman directing Benson in the recording studio is amazing. There's a 20 minute clip on the bonus features of Don Hahn's documentary, 'Waking Sleeping Beauty'.
...Wow! I went on imdb looking for the singing voice for Ariel but could only find Jodi, the actress. I clicked on the full cast and could still only saw Jodi. So I typed her into youtube and BINGO! :D She's amazing!! They had no need to animate the film - you can see the whole of Ariel's world in her :)
The date can't be right. By August 1989 (especially with a release date of November 1989), all of the voice-over work and animation would have been completed. And, no, they don't animate first. How would the animators know what to draw if they didn't have the recorded dialog? I'm guessing she's probably recording the soundtrack?
musicaltheatergeek79 well they have a script. It’s a voice actors job to match lip movements. That’s a pretty well known thing in the voice acting world. I’ve done it myself once and it’s Hard
Little Fact: She's singing in the dark to get the undersea feeling of being trapped, and longing to get out!
I wanna go all sea witch and steal this chick's voice.
Me too! Her voice is SO AMAZING!
+Bella K She is my idol and role model, Bella, and I try to sing like her. I want to go all sea witch on her too..
Bitch please!
Me too I wanna be Ursula and steal her voice to marry Prince Charming lol
The two most beautiful voices I've heard are those of Jodi Benson and Lea Salonga.
Ariel and Aurora were always my favorite as a kid, probably because those songs were the ones I would play constantly to go to sleep at night. the characteristics of her voice is just so unique and beautiful
I love how Jodi Benson is the only person who voices Ariel! Love her voice! Nobody can replace Ariel's/Jodi's voice!!!
Jodi Benson's voice is perfect for Ariel. If you read why they decided to cast her for Ariel, they state it's because of the youthful quality she has. No other version can compete with her Jodi's.
Indeed! So beautifully sung and spot on. The casting of Benson is surreal.
Iconic work with Howard & Jodi benson. This will always be the best feel good moment for every diehard Disney fan for generations to come
Still the best
God damn Jodi aged so well, I love her voice.
Awesome. I just found her now, 2024, singing at a wedding where she says it's her first wedding that is not her family. Please look it up. I watch it over and over and still get teary over 30 years ago when my daughter and I watched this over and over. Thank you for sharing. 💕💕
Happy 63rd Birthday, Jodi!!! 🥳 🎉 🎂 2024

Beautiful singing. Touching song.
my fave disney princess :) i love watching history being made
still my favorite
THIS IS AMAZING. History right here. I love watching behind the scenes voices. Thank you so so so much.
If I had a magic shell that could extract singing voices, Jodi Benson would definitely be one of the first singers I'd go after.
I teared up too. She has a beautiful voice - love her singing. Plus, she sings with so much passion.
Oh my goodness I love her voice!! 😍🥰
My favorite Disney movie, princess and song.
Her voice is...Perfect...my heart starts racing when i hear it.
Thank you Jodi Benson for being the best singer ever!!! I am really inspired by you!!!!Love you!!!!!!
I'd do anything to meet my childhood favorite singer :')
One of the best voice actresses ever! She's even voiced some video game characters.
The voice of my childhood. :)
she's amazing.... always have been.. always will be...
OH MY GOD. THIS WAS UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY LAST YEAR AND I LOVE THE LITTLER MERMAID. Sorry, but this is awesome for me :D
Jodi Benson...The number one princess of the Disney Renaisance.
Thank you for posting this! She sounds different in this O__O
She's my hero. I'm totally amazed by her.

The end result is perfect.
I was just brought to tears! amazing!

Even though Belle is my favorite Disney princess, I've always loved Ariel's voice :) Jodi Benson is an amazing singer
This made me cry, so beautiful.
I love when she sings 'Burn' :)
This made me cry.
SO BEAUTIFUL it makes me cry..

LOVE GER VOICE OMFG
I can't believe they have this video that is so cool. She kicked this songs ass.
Raw jodi benson.. the greatest. 3
Saw her on Disney live and it was iconic
thank you!
This is so awesome!! =)
Oh, I love this song with all my heart 3
My kids loved this movie!! Toy Story also.
How did they like the new one?
@@melaninmix064 they're too old for the kids movies now. They're 27, 22, and 21.
🎵Part of that world 🎵
I want to be where the people are
I want to see
want to see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
(What's that word again?) street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
After listening to "Part of Your World", I wonder if Jodi ever sang the song "Somewhere That's Green" from the "Little Shop of Horrors"- both composed by Alan Menken.
I got those same vibes too!
i. want. to. cry.
i miss the times when i was a child, everyday, once i got home from school i would immediately watch one of the disney movies TT^TT before playing with others TT^TT
Its no trouble at all seeing what Glenn Keane saw in her face that inspired him to give us the Ariel we all know and love.
The footage of Howard Ashman directing Benson in the recording studio is amazing. There's a 20 minute clip on the bonus features of Don Hahn's documentary, 'Waking Sleeping Beauty'.
I love her. She's Beautiful /

August '89?!? The film itself was first released in November that same year, so it must've took the studio *2 months* to actually animate it.
the uk release was around October 1990.

I know, I live in the UK as well.
Don't you animate first?

Her voice is magic
