| Jodi has been the voice of so many Disney Characters. Her first was the Little Mermaid, but since her debut with Disney she has been the voice of Barbie in Toy Story II, as well as the official voice of Barbie for the Barbie commercials, dolls, Computer games, and videos (I think). Read more about her "Barbie" experience here. She has also been the voice of Lady in Lady and the Tramp II, and the voice of Helen of Troy in the Hercules tv show. More recently she did the voice of Anita for the 101 Dalmations sequal. She did an interesting voice over for the character of "Weebo" in Disney's Flubber, with Robin Williams. She voices Ariel in Disney's attraction "Mickey's PhilharMagic". In addition to these voice overs, Jodi has lent her voice to many of the Disney Sing-Along videos as Ariel, and the movie Snowed in at the House of Mouse, also as Ariel. The Little Mermaid II was a huge hit as well, and once again Jodi voiced Ariel. |

| Michael Eisner and Roy Disney often invite Jodi to sing symphonically at various Disney events. At most of her concerts, even non-disney ones, she still will always sing her songs from The Little Mermaid. She mentioned at the Blossom Festival Concert in Cleveland, in 2004, that she never tires of singing "Part of Your World". Working with the company has given her the opportunity to travel around, meet so many people, and talk to kids about annimation and of course answer all their curious questions about the Little Mermaid... But it also gives her more chances to do what she does best - witness to those who work with her and people she meets. Children bring her such joy, and she loves to also talk to them about how animated movies are made. |
