Watching the @disney documentary #wakingcinderella and found out that #partofyourworld was almost CUT from #thelittlemermaid ! I felt my chest tighten and tears come to my eyes 😢 This is my favorite Disney film, I saw it 4 times in theater that summer, I sang that song 3 years in a row at the school talent show, and of course went as #Ariel for Halloween several time. This movie and especially this song is such a part of me. This is just another strong reminder of how important #representationinmedia is. There aren't a lot of red haired blue eyed girls in the world, seeing as how they are both recessive genes, but because a movie I saw myself represented in made me feel special, it helped me through all of the times I was bullied for my looks. I AM SPECIAL! Thank you @DisneyAnimation for helping a child see that and believe that in herself. 💞💞💞 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9V7CUAlHPG/?igshid=op1twi0xtmlt
