The Little Mermaid

Since Mandy Moore lends her voice to the upcoming animated feature 'Tangled,' it's only fitting that she was inspired to sing at a young age by another famous animated character. On 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC), Moore said Ariel of 'The Little Mermaid' put her on the path to become a singer.

AOL TV released a list of the top 18 TV witches. The list is exhaustive including everyone from classical TV witches to daytime witches and BBC witches.

This list even made me a little nostalgic. After reading about Miss Cackle and Mildred from the 1986 TV movie The Worst Witch, I think I might have to check my TV listings to see if the movie will get an encore presentation in the days leading up to Halloween. I totally forgot that Mildred was played by Fairuza Balk who obviously used her Worst Witch time to develop her later role in The Craft. With those piercing blue eyes, dark hair and bright red lipstick, she really does make a good witch.
