For any little girl in the 1990s, Jodi Benson was a Goddess to the ears with her voice talents for The Little Mermaid's protagonist, Ariel. I am aware that Ariel gets a lot of unpopular opinions about literally selling herself and her body for a man but I think emphasis should be placed upon her love for a Whole New World. Ariel wishes to explore beyond her own horizon and escape her notion of reality which I feel all viewers can relate to at some point of the other. I appreciated the additional storylines concerning her family, especially her father King Triton as it brought through the idea of having family disputes even if your family is not necessarily dysfunctional and is still caring! This completely differs with the usual hateful Godmother and I appreciated this complex look into family and family values and sometimes, having to break them to find our own happiness. May be a deep interpretation but it is what I felt.
