The Little Mermaid, Wesley Edition

Every so often, the "casting directors" of the Wesley Foundation like to cast different movies. In the past, We've casted Pocahontas, Coraline, Moulin Rouge, and many others. It isn't until now that I have decided to expose the very secret, very classified procedure we have for matching an actor with an appropriate role. We think of which part needs to be filled, and the Wesley Foundation member who makes us laugh the most gets the role. Isn't that mind blowing? Last night, Dani and I were watching Little Mermaid, and we decided to cast it. So here you are, Little Mermaid according to the Wesley Foundation.

Ariel: Played by Cara Frank. Cara's musical abilities, and general lack of appointment keeping skills is what won her the role.

Eric: Austin Seneca. Austin got this role because he is the most likely to be hit on by Cara. That, and the fact that we have made him an animal in almost every movie that has been cast.

Flounder: Ryan Frank. Ryan's ability to be led astray into unscrupulous situations by Ariel is what made this a no brainer.

Sebastian: Bryan Cruz. Both have an "accent", both are small, and both are often found by Ellis Henley's side. Which leads us to...

King Triton: Ellis Henley. Because we had to make him the father figure in this film too.

Ursula: Taylor Wilson. Taylor would love the fact that she gets one of the best bad guy song that disney has ever created. She also has to shimmy, which makes it all the more better.

Scuttle: Rachel Wicki. Because she just has the personality and is often hanging on Cara

Flotsam & Jetsam: Dani Frank & Bethany Harms. Great sabotage artists are we. Taylor also likes to boss us around.

Grimsby: Sean Thomas. Sean does love to give people gifts.

Louis: Adam Fager. Who else could you imagine signing Le Poisson. Adam is slightly off his rocker, which makes this casting decision work

Max: Jarad Cox. Eric and Max are best friends, Austin and Jarad are best friends. Max's hair is usually in  his eyes, Jarad's also has unruly hair. So who cares if max is a dog.

Silent Ariel: Emily Dunn. You know why.

Carlotta: Loran Luehr. Loran Is the mothering type. She would never turn down the chance to pretty up our little lost Ariel.

Ursula's Seaweedy people: Chris Morris. Think about it... ok. Now isn't that an amazing choice?



So there you have it. Our version of The Little Mermaid. I know we usually only have NonWesley people as cast members, but if you only knew.
