It really is just breathtaking.
With Bailey playing Ariel in the live-action film, Benson deemed her interpretation of Ariel as absolutely beautiful.
I loved everything that she did with the film, Benson said.
I love the acting, I love the singing and just the pure spirit.
Her beautiful love for the character comes through.
Its just a beautiful, beautiful performance.
