Beyond my wildest dreams
Les Poissons
/!\ For those who ask why Ariel is singing whereas she is supposed to have lost her voice, these are her thoughts. The main singer can't stay mute for half of the musical.
It's SO obvious that she's singing her thoughts. The fact that everyone on stage isn't paying attention to what shes saying and the opening line to her song "I wonder what's going on in that pretty little head of yours..." Its kinda REALLY obvious. Anyway, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH JulieWinchester for uploading this!
It bothers me that people don't understand the fact that "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" occurs in her head. These people don't understand what a soliloquy or a monologue is. They don't understand theatre. They other people can't hear her because she's not saying anything, everything is happening in her head. It's not that hard to understand. This is theatre, not a movie. They have to change stuff. Why would they make her mute?
THANK YOU! Somebody of stage intelligence!
yes. someone who understands.
finally somone who has knowledge
This was the pre-Broadway version and it looks like they made some changes to this scene in later versions, to clarify this very point. I'm playing Grimsby in the current public version and he is the one who leads the scene, not the lead maid as shown above. Immediately before Ariel begins to sing, Grimsby is standing off to the side and says, " I cannot help wondering what she's thinking. I'd give a farthing or two to hear her thoughts." , then she starts singing... her thoughts.
i agree
she's so adorable on this scene... she's like a real life disney princess
I love that they had Ariel sing her thoughts during her time on land because I've always wished they could have been expressed in some way in the movie.
What I find even more ridiculous is that people would even need to read it to realize why. What director would have the main character be silent throughout the second half of the play, especially when said character is being played by someone as talented as Sierra Boggess.
if you have to ask why she's singing when she's supposed to be mute right now, musical theatre is not for you...
The chef is hilarious with his evil laughter.
You mean Louis?
I always wondered why she never just wrote it all down. "I'm the girl who saved you, but I'm a mermaid and had to give away my voice to a witch in order to become human, and now you have to kiss me so I can get my voice back and be human forever."
maybe the merfolk didn't know how to write?
She signed her name. She was literate
Me toooo
probably didn’t know how to write. i mean hell she didn’t even know what a fork was. i’m not sure if they have literacy classes in the sea
Dialogue: "I wonder what goes on in that silly head of hers."
Dumb youtubers: "HEY SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO SING!"
Lyrics: "Just stands there gawking, weird how she's not talking."
Dumb youtubers: "SHE SHOULDN'T BE SPEAKING!."
I don't think the complainers are even actually listening to the song. They just want to complain.
mww2821 or they just don't understand theatre
Ikr! Also "I'd scream if I only could." It's all spelled out pretty clearly for them.
WHAT?!?!?! The chef isn't chasing Sebastian? Boo!
+Daisy Montano He chases him in the reprise don't worry.
shut up u
Daisy Montano it's me or the chef was singing be our guest
This is pre-broadway
Ariel is so cute when she's looking around and freaking out! 😍
I love how Ariel has this child like humor...
Those are some crazy skirts her attendants are wearing!! LOL
I love how she sounds almost exactly like Jodi Benson.
Not to mention it's MUSICAL THEATRE. There's this beautiful thing called "willing suspension of disbelief".
Those skirts remind me of that mouse in the Thumbelina movie from the 90's ^^
McFlyLover92 omg you're right!!
I feel bad for saying this, but I absolutely hate those puffy skirts that Carlotta and the maids are wearing
Musical Masterpieces ya they look like apples 😬
I thought they were chickens… I was so confused 😂 they look like weird chicken characters to me and idk y
Yeah, they don’t even look like dresses. It’s an odd design.
Lol I think Jack Black would make a decent Chef Louis!
Sierra is so adorable in this song! I adore her!
i really like how they gave sierra parts to sing what's going on in ariel's head.
To anyone else who thinks to ask the question, Carlotta says "I wonder what's going on in that little head of yours" right before she leaves. So it is most likely her thought process.
THE CHEF IS SOOOO PERFECT
I love Ariel's pink dress here!
I love how he threw the bones in the pot.
Love that Ariel is trying to show off her "human smarts".
HEE HEE HEE HAW HAW HAW
This whole song is fabulous! one of my favorite additions to the original and Sierra Boggess killed it!!! I also JUST REALIZED WHO HEIDI BLICKENSTAFF IS AND I LOVE HER!!! i get to play Carlotta in my church’s production and I’m so happy to see it was originated by a beautiful actress!!!!
i LOVE this song. i have the sound track but i've never seen it before till now.
this just makes me love it EVEN more! also, one day, i WILL play ursula. fact.
I LOVE THE MAID'S OUTFITS! They are HILARIOUS!!!!
I think it was wonderful of them to cast Lou Costello to play Louie. :)
I love her 'WHO KNOWS' its so funny and cute
I love this scene cuz she makes me think of a kid in a candy store she is so cute in this scene
So glad they kept this song too. XD "Then you rub some salt in! MWHAHAHAHAHA!"
Sierra is just so darn cute!
Are people still asking that question just to tick us off?! It's self-explanitory. Carlotta says "Ican't help but wonder. What's going on in that pretty little head of hers?" Ariel then goes into song. She's letting teh audience in on her inner thoughts. That's all there is to it.
I don't know why more people aren't talking about that Les Poissons scene. It made me giggle a little too much and I bet that actor was having fun with that role.
Her singing is non-diegetic which means what she is "singing" is external to the narrative. We can probably imagine that she is saying or "singing" all this in her mind but the audience needs to hear it and as this is a musical, what better way than for her to sing it. Beautiful voice!
I think the word you're all searching for is sililoquy. Ariel was singing a sililoquy.
I really don't understand why people don't understand she is singing her thoughts.. I worry about people.
I love that she's trying to show off her "human smarts" when really she's just making herself look even more odd. :D
Haha I did the little mermaid jr. And I was Ariel... We used flower inside of the pipe. And it was all over me for the rest of the play lol.
Ariel is soo beautiful 😍😊
Sierra looks so adorable as Ariel in Beyond My Wildest Dreams!
WAIT A MINUTE IS ME OR THE SONG THAT THE CHEF IS SINGING IS BE OUR GUEST ?!?!
Scar TLK be our guest was a hommage of sorts to le poissons
OMG YES!!! I HAVENT SEEN THAT MOVIE IN YEARS!!!!
*head in her hands* does no one read the description and commentaries before asking this question?
Please people, read the description before asking why she's singing! It's been asked and answere time and time again!
I love when Ariel says wow! it makes me laugh
4:43-4:44 Me when i see my school bullies chase me
they did great on the chef and i love the song Beyond my wildest dreams
LOL I LOVE the last part!!
@07:12-07:29
I still laughed at that scene.
I was like "What?! You never seen a girl comb her hair with a fork before?"
Have you thought maybe that was intentional? Giving them the subconscious distinction of being gossipy "hens"?
Aw...they don't have the Chef chase Sebastian...=P
Daniel Selk the hat is supposed to be sebastian
Daniel Selk its in the reprise
Great performance
So far this was the best part out of it all
Sometimes i really wish I was a big big man so i could play the part of the chef ...its sooo amazing
Djurdjix Radic you could just wear a fat suit, that's what they do in the show, that's not real fat
shes never been on land before...she's a kid in a candystore
Is really means from beyond my wildest dreams between Arie's dream just to live like a human being is very hard to understand what is going on with her. Even though people have big changes because there are many people have something but Arie is actually a mermaid this is a beautiful musical show and story is about her and mermaid family and humans from generation
ALL OF THE CARLOTTA'S. ALL OF THEM.
Love the maids costumes
She is sooooo adorible!!!!!!!!!
lol a while back when i first learned that disney would make a little mermaid Broadway show i was all how can se sing when shes mute and being into stage acting i realized inner monologue or her own feelings or thoughts lol
"Zoot alors! I have meesed one!" My favorite line! XD
I find 'Les Poissons' quite similar to 'Be our Guest' in Beauty and the Beast... Only the instrumentla of course.
Loving the pink shoes!
I'm playing Chef Louis in Little Mermaid Jr. right now and this video was very helpful...thank you!
Les Poissons or Be Our Guest?
i loved how he "rubbed some Zalt een!"
be our guest!! (Y)
i loved how he "rubbed some Zalt een!" 4:20 - 6:45 FTW
@JulieWinchester You know the whole Le possions song just makes you questions Louie's sanity and you don't if you know if you should laugh, cry, piss your pants in fear or throw up.
sierra's just awesome!
The next time I cook fish I am going to get salt and do an evil laugh.
They look like creme puffs lmao!! Sierra is AMAZING!!!
@cowtowngrl Besides, the Lady who introduces the song says "I can't help but wonder, what's going on in that pretty little head of yours..." It's like introducing the song as her thoughts or aka a soliloquy.
she is saying whats in her mind at the time
@TBabiiex33 did you read descriptions? "It's her thoughts....and the main siger can't say anything during half of the musical..."
Ariel is hot
I am insanely jealous of those servants dresses
Well, this is a musical. She's singing out her inner thoughts.
@surferdude3451 She's singing her thoughts. It is confusing but the line from the head made before she sings gives it away some.
"I wonder what's going on in that pretty little head of yours..."
cue Ariel's mind is talking.
@HahaToasted I don't know... but they remind me of hens... I think it's the way it bounces, like a cartoon chicken. Could just be me lol.
I love the chef lol
Sometimes the music sounds like beauty and the beast
i half expected her to start singing thats how you know from enchanted
I also wondered. I know the sea creatures can write because Sebastian wrote symphonies. Eric was also the kind of guy who would believe in mermaids. Of course, Disney wouldn't have had any drama in the story then...
At first I seriously thought the maids were dancing eggs.........
Red hair!? RED HAIR?! To go along with the PINKEST DRESS in ALL of Disney HISTORY?!?!
@pokemonumbreon1 I'm thinking they made Gisele look like Ariel for "Enchanted" to add to the parallels between the previous Disney movies and "Enchanted".
But yes, she looks like Amy Adams.
i love how she walks :P like a baby
I wonder how are the shows are now ? 🤨🧐
well that's why the made it the kiss of true love otherwise the now human mermaid could just give him a kiss out of no where and she stayed human forever and got her voice
that's what i thought too!
I don't get why some people find it confusing that she is singing while she has no voice, this is a musical, and I agree with the description, the main singer can't stay mute for half of the musical!
dem skirts, omg.
I LOVE SIERRa!!!
Louie put in the fish skeleton! Yikes!
most probably she being used to the writing implements of the sea wouldn't have understood what the quills and things of ink were used for
@JulieWinchester exactly!
