The hunky puppeteer behind ‘The Little Mermaid’s Flounder has got the internet all wet
The Little Mermaid now in theaters, folks have been pretty hard on Ariel’s little bestie.In the original animated classic from ’89, Flounder was brightly colored, cute and cuddly—your typical cartoon sidekick.
But, for some reason, everyone was surprised when we got our first glimpse at photorealistic Flounder in the new movie and he looked like… a fish!
What did you expect?nah, what happened to Flounder lol pic.twitter.com/2iaCF2Rk8cWhile Flounder 2.0 is voiced by Room‘s Jacob Tremblay, he’s brought to life by a bunch of whizzbang computer-generated imagery we can barely understand, but also—importantly—a live, on-set dancer and puppeteer.And, baby?
