Flounder: Difference between revisions

==Appearance==

Flounder is a round, yellow fish that more closely resembles a {{w|convict tang}} than a {{w|flounder}}. He has sky blue stripes along his top side. His pectoral, dorsal, and tail fins have alternating sky blue and dark sky blue stripes. His dorsal fin lines his back and is frayed near the front, vaguely reminiscent of hair. He seems to have dark eyebrows, a round nose, and a pink, human-like tongue, all dissimilarities to real fish. Flounder's eyes are aquamarine.

Flounder originates Disney's 1989 movie ''{{w|The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid}}'' and later appears in its sequel, ''{{w|The Little Mermaid II: Return to Sea}}''. In the film, he is the only character that supports Ariel's fascination with human things. He is first seen sneaking away with Ariel from a concert being held by Sebastian to salvage through a ship graveyard for items that belonged to humans. When Ariel confesses she is in love with Eric, she strikes a deal with an evil sea witch, Ursula. Flounder joins Ariel in her pursuit for Eric's love. Since he cannot survive on land, Flounder is forced to observe from afar and receive get news from Scuttle or Sebastian on Ariel's progress with Eric. Later, Flounder helps Ariel defeat Ursula who is planning to capture Ariel by battling Flotsam and Jetsam. When Ursula is defeated, Flounder attends the wedding of Ariel and Eric, and bids farewell to his best friend.
