Ariel and Belle Are in Enchanted?
Enchanted might not be a full-on animated movie in the strictest sense of the word. However, it does have an interesting connection to the animated classics of yesteryear. Specifically, it features two of Disney’s most iconic princesses – the actresses who played them. Jodi Benson, who was the voice for Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and Paige O’Hara, who voiced Belle in Beauty in the Beast, both have cameos in the 2007 movie, playing a secretary and a soap opera character, respectively.
These cameo appearances by Jodi Benson and Paige O’Hara in Enchanted add a delightful layer of nostalgia for fans of the original Disney animated classics. It’s a clever way for the film to pay homage to its animated heritage while blending the animated and live-action worlds, creating a special connection between the iconic Disney princesses and the modern-day fairy tale.
