Carroll was perfect for Ursula’s voice in the Disney animated classic film, The Little Mermaid (1989). She often said it was her favorite role during her tremendous career. Carroll sadly passed on July 30, 2022, while recovering from pneumonia.
And while we are missing Carroll, we’re thankful her voice lives on through Ursula.
So, how does this involve the iconic Disney attraction, Haunted Mansion? A Disney fan has replaced the disembodied voice of the Ghost Host as a private Haunted Mansion guide with Ursula’s voice within the mansion’s creepy stretching room.
