During the world premiere of The Little Mermaid, star Halle Bailey embraced Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the original 1989 animated classic.
The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey encounters original Ariel voice star Jodi Benson at the film's world premiere. The upcoming live-action remake of Disney's 1989 animated film will finally see Bailey's version of Ariel come to life after she was cast as the character in 2019. The film recently had its world premiere, and social media reactions have been mostly positive, overwhelmingly praising Bailey's star-making turn as Ariel and Melissa McCarthy's portrayal of Ursula.
With "Part of Your World" playing, the emotions run high in the video as Bailey and Benson are both seen embracing each other. This signals a "passing of the torch" from one generation of Ariel, who has charmed audiences worldwide for over thirty-four years, to a newer version that will touch even more families than the Disney original ever dreamed possible.
