Did You Know The Voice Of Ariel In The OG “Little Mermaid” Also Voiced Barbie In The “Toy Story” Movies? Because I Very Much Did Not
Right now, there are two movies dominating the zeitgeist: The Little Mermaid and Barbie. The former comes out on May 26, while the latter drops on July 21 (So long!).
Buena Vista Pictures / courtesy Everett CollectionThat’s Jodi Benson. She voiced Ariel in the film, as well as its 2000 sequel, 2008 prequel, and a ‘90s TV show. Oh, and Ralph Breaks the Internet, too.

Alright, now onto Barbie. Barbie is…Barbie! There’s no other way to put it. The doll by the toy company Mattel was introduced to the world in 1959 and has never left.
Frederic Neema / Sygma via Getty ImagesBarbie is everywhere — one of those few ubiquitous American touchstones across generations. Barbie is a children’s toy, a collector’s item, the subject of songs, the subject of endless games and movies, and so much more.
Barbie is also a character in the Toy Story franchise. She appears in all three sequels but not the first film. Because Barbie is an animated character in the film, that means she’s voiced by an actor.
Buena Vista Pictures / courtesy Everett CollectionDo you see where this is going?

Be honest, did you know this already? Because I just learned that Jodi voiced both characters, and it was honestly a delightful surprise.
Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett CollectionAll this to say, if you needed more reason to love Jodi, I hope this was it.
