Jacob Tremblay, who voices Flounder in The Little Mermaid, defends the tropical fish's divisive design, which sparked backlash for being too lifelike.
The Little Mermaid star Jacob Tremblay defends Flounder's controversial design change. Based on the 1989 Disney animated classic of the same name, the upcoming live-action remake stars pop star Halle Bailey as the titular character, Ariel. Wonder star Tremblay voices Flounder, a tropical fish who is Ariel's best friend and aids her on her journey.
"I was shown the design when I went in for the audition and I saw the movie last night and, I have to say that I think it really, really worked. I think that they were geniuses and they knew exactly what they were doing. Will The Little Mermaid Be Able To Beat Early Criticisms?

The majority of the company's latest adaptations, including Pinocchio, The Lion King, Dumbo, Aladdin, and Lady and the Tramp, have received middling reviews.
