Jodi Benson came out in defense of the new Ariel
Following the numerous criticisms regarding why a woman of African descent should play Ariel, Benson was the first actress to come out to defend her from the terrible comments that involved racist content. «I think the most important thing is how the story is told. My family and I have raised our children in such a way that we do not see any difference on the outside» he mentioned.
Ariel’s animated voice also recalled that what is truly important in a character is his spirit and character, since it does not matter how we are on the outside. «It does not matter our race, nationality, or skin color, our dialect, if we are tall or thin, overweight or extremely underweight, hair color… What matters is telling the story«.
