Check Ariel’s star statement about other famous Disney princesses
Ariel is a spirited, bubbly princess living undersea but has dreams to explore the dry lands.
Her character, first introduced in 1989’s The Little Mermaid, added to a growing list of Disney princesses in the studio’s animated library.
Now, Jodi Benson, who voiced the character, reflects on her relationship with fellow voice artists who gave energy to those characters.
Megara (Susan Egan) in Hercules and Belle (Paige O’Hara) in Beauty and the Beast.
Referring to Susan, Jodi says, “She is amazing,” adding, “We’ve been friends for a really long time.”
Her love and warmth were likewise similar to Paige. “I’ve been friends with Paige for 45 years. I’ve been friends with Susan for 35 years.”
She continues, “So it’s a long time, these are long relationships, and we get to work together [at Disney events], and this is a huge gift.”
“I hope my legacy will be that I helped others well,” the star tells People.
Jodi also shares the goal she wanted to seek, which is “how to love and serve others. Think less about myself and more about others, which is challenging for all of us.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jodi opens up about her views for Ariel, for whom she shares her “deepened appreciation” over the years for the Disney princess.
“Because we kind of are one and the same now,” the actress adds.
“We’re going [almost 40] years of having this character, and I know her — and she is me — and we’re kind of combined.”
She notes, “So it still just kind of amazes me that I have the privilege to be this character.”
Jodi’s comments about Ariel come at the World Princess Week Celebration at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.

King Charles receives plea to make urgent change after tragic event
Palace aides are reportedly diving into action as they are forced to make last-minute changes before releasing an important message from King Charles.
The monarch, who is expected to address the public in a Christmas broadcast as per annual tradition, had received a devastating news of the attacks on Bondi Beach in Australia, for which he was left “appalled and saddened”.
Christmas speech made by the monarch is usually written and pre-recorded before the big day. However, as the attacks in Australia emerged, royal experts have suggested that the lack of mention of the incident, in the country he is also the Head of State for, would reflect badly.
“To remain relevant the King’s festive set-piece has to be responsive to outside events, however awful, that unfurl on the eve of the holiday season,” Sky News Australia correspondent, Tessa Dunlop, remarked.
She explained that since Charles is “well positioned to show leadership in Australia’s hour of darkness”, a Christmas broadcast from a king would “provide balm” to the victims and their families.
The royal author noted that the King has established himself as a “defender of all faiths” so he must try to maintain that.
Although, the King has shown swift action is releasing a statement expressing his thoughts whenever tragedy had struck in one of his states of nations in the commonwealth. It was also no different this time.

Who’s Kyle Chrisley? Todd Chrisley’s son arrested for domestic assault months after Trump pardon
In a disturbing turn of events, Kyle Chrisley, the eldest son of TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, was arrested by the authorities on Saturday night, December 20, in Rutherford County on charges of domestic violence.
This is not the first time he has been detained, the arrest comes just a few months after his parents were pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Kyle was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA.
The framed charges against him reportedly include domestic assault, public intoxication, and more.
Who’s Kyle Chrisley?
Kyle Chrisley is the firstborn of a television personality and real estate entrepreneur best known as the head of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best.
Todd shares Kyle and daughter Lindsie, 35, with ex-wife Teresa Terry and shares three children with his current spouse, Julie Chrisley—Savannah, 28, Chase, 29, and Grayson, 19.
Kyle has faced multiple past legal troubles, including charges of domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, three counts of assaulting an emergency worker, and resisting arrest, as reported by TMZ.
In March 2023, Kyle was arrested on a felony aggravated assault charge and released after posting a $3,000 bond, and the case was later dropped for undisclosed reasons.
Kyle’s attorney, Wesley Clark, said the suit aims to hold officials accountable and prevent other families from enduring the same frightening experience as the Chrisleys.
Kyle Chrisley’s recent arrest comes only months after his parents, Todd and Julie, were freed from prison via a pardon from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Todd and Julie had served 28 months of imprisonment after being convicted of tax evasion and bank and wire fraud, though they have consistently maintained their innocence.
