Cool stuff...which one was Binky in Princesses? Because I must have seen her, and I'm trying to remember who she was...

I almost SPLIT my pants laughing at what you just said, Lizzie! So funny!

Arial or arial black?

p.s. We should expect no typecasting in this show.

I hear Norm Lewis auditioned for Helvetica Neue Extended, but there is some controversy.

And you-know-who is playing Times New Roman in rainbow-face.

Thank god disney finally announced this! I was so unsure, and since I hang on Thomas Shumacher's EVERY word, I just couldn't sleep until he spoke the words

Did anyone else hear that Sherie Rene Scott was up for Courier New? Some people think an outsized actress should get the role, but if they cast Sherie, then they'll be able to use the same actress for the transformation into Verdana. ^_^

I was really pulling for Kerry to be Ariel. Who knows, maybe she;'ll serve as Stand-by for Ariel or a future replacement.

For Sierra, hope she does well :)

Dunno her work, but she LOOKS very Ariel-esque. Kinda cool!

She must have been next in line to play Belle, so they just threw her into this Disney concoction.

Congrats to Sierra!! I would like Kerry Butler to take a try at it but...

I had heard news that someone was cast as Ariel a while ago but never heard a name. Sierra is wonderful!! I've worked with her briefly and she couldn't have been sweeter. So glad she's getting this chance.

You haven't been readin the 56 other million threads about Mermaid?

I try not to. When I finally saw Sierra's name in the subject line it was worth opening.

Besides, after Bobby's rollerskating comment, I was a little scarred.

Sierra Boggess is a great choice. Saw her a few months ago and will make the trip to NY to see her in this. However, I hope Disney rethinks the image they have before casting the other fish under the sea!
