  • This is from the Signature Edition of The Little Mermaid that was released in 4K Ultra HD during 2019. This is a conversation with the singing voices of some of the most iconic Disney women in the 1990s-2010s. It includes characters from Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Hercules, and Tangled. There is also talk of the great Howard Ashman!
    This is uploaded for the purpose of education for the viewer on the history of this piece of animation. I do not own this, and if the Disney Corporation wants it taken down then I will take it down.

    Alan Menken is happy for them. Howard Ashman would also be happy for Jodi Benson and Paige O'Hara as he worked them. He and Alan were a great team and were very close friends. It's a shame that Howard left the world so soon as he was often referred to as another Walt Disney as he had the same creative mind as Walt Disney did.

    Instant tears when Judy Kuhn starts singing at 6:56. One of the most gorgeous vocal performances in Disney history and some of the most moving melodies ever written in my opinion!

    i love how shook all the ladies get for each other
    watching this, i think i welled up with tears 10 different times- iconic songs and voices that have shaped peoples lives
    Women with this type of talent arent often recognised on a global scale- Musicals can be so niche but Disney picks the perfect people
    Im so glad we have social media and stuff like this now- hearing behind the scenes and production stories is golden
    People will look back at these songs in 100 years like we look back on Opera and classical scores
    I wish this was another 2 hours longer

    The little mermaid was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. Life lessons learned from these women singing and the music and lyrics of these two men shaped me into the empathic man I am today. Who would’ve thought taking a little boy to the little mermaid would be so monumental

    I love the part where they bring up what it's like voicing an animated character. It brings up a good point that animation is unique compared to live action but also requires more talent from the voice actors and of course the animators than most people might think.
