Who else would LOVE a Broadway version of Thumbelina?

[VendelaTarrents]

Jodi: "The words might be BLEH"
Also Jodi: nails the entire song

[phantomvideowatcher]

The moment she started singing...😭😭🤧 I've loved this song since I was a tiny child. Her voice is everything!

[dimdraws]

It makes me a little sad to hear that Jodi Benson hasn't sang any of the songs from Thumbelina since it's release.... She's been singing Little Mermaid songs all these years but no love for Thumbelina... I know it wasn't a big success but still....

[dorkie]

How is it possible she doesn’t sing this all the time? I love Thumbelina! I cried watching this. Thank you so much for posting.

Thumbelina is so underrated. Great storyline, beautiful animation and two magically wonderful love songs.

[maimiura]

I wish she sang the thumbalina songs more often they’re my favorite

[unouni]

Every time I listen to her I remember how good she is, the emotion is palpable.
Are you trying to tell me she is NOT a Tony award winner?

[laedollchick]

I love her singing more in the Thumbelina movie than little mermaid. I feel like these songs were more passionate

[supercoolr]

Happy 25th to Thumbelina, we all love Jodi Benson, and her voice was so beautiful.

[raonnymetzker]

Jodi is Ariel, she is Thumbelina too... How marvelous, a true legend ♥

[supercoolr]

Jodi Benson 's voice is everything because she sings so beautifully and I'm starting to cry on this song by Jodi Benson. Thank you so much. We all love you.

Fun Fact: The Little Mermaid (1989) and Thumbelina (1994) are based on fairy tales by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen and have Jodi Benson voicing the title characters.

“Soon” is my favorite part of the entire movie. Her voice is so lovely.

[ricklove]

See, this is the reason we have Youtube! A rare chance to hear great vocalists do some of their rarer stuff. I personally love The little Mermaid 2 and 3, as well as Thumbelina just for her vocals.

Fun fact: The lyrics were co-written by Jack Feldman, who had to fill in for the then-ailing Howard Ashman to write Newsies with Alan Menken.

[laurengarcia]

I would pay all the monies to hear her sing this live

[Neah]

This made my heart melt! Thumbelina was one of the greatest more cherished and beloved characters of my existence 💜 😢… I love this movie so much. Jodi you made every song absolutely perfect and everything! Thank You so very much 💚 😭

[xBeyondMystery]

So beautiful! it was like a mix of Ariel and Thumbelina.

[StOnrGrL]

From the first time I saw thumbelina to now, and I hear her sing this song, I always get goosebumps. Jodi Benson kills it every times she sings, not just this but as ariel too.
