QWhere in the film do Jodi Benson, Paige O'Hara and Judy Kuhn, the voices of Ariel, Belle, and Pocahontas, respectively, appear in the movie?
AJodi Benson, who provided the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, appears in three scenes as Robert's secretary, Sam. Incidentally, during one of her scenes, when Giselle looks into the fish tank, you can hear a muzak version of "Part of Your World" from that movie.Paige O'Hara, who provided the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast, appears in the soap opera that Nathaniel and Prince Edward (though mostly Nathaniel) watch. She plays a character named Angela (named after Angela Lansbury, who played Mrs. Potts) and is speaking to a man named Jerry (named after the late Jerry Orbach, who played Lumiere) and one of them mentions a character named Ogden (named after David Ogden Stiers, who played Cogsworth). In the background of that soap, you can hear the title song from "Beauty and the Beast". The scene itself is reminiscent of the bandaging scene from that film.As for Judy Kuhn, who provided the singing voice of the title character in Pocahontas, she has a very brief one-line cameo. She plays a pregnant woman with kids who lives in Robert's apartment building. She is the first resident to be visited by Prince Edward. When he opens the door, she just says, "You're too late."
AAmy Adams and James Marsden did all their own singing for the film. Adams has a background in musical theater and Marsden has sung before in such works as "Ally McBeal" and the recent movie version of the musical "Hairspray". The only character whose singing voice was dubbed was the Troll. The speaking voice was provided by Fred Tatasciore, while his basso profundo singing voice was provided by Wilbur Pauley.
