Fans Compare Flounder’s New Look in “Little Mermaid” to Fish on Ozempic
Fans have criticized Flounder’s new look in “The Little Mermaid” live-action remake, comparing him to a fish on the medication Ozempic.
Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” has been generating buzz among fans since it was announced. However, the latest clip featuring Ariel’s sidekick friend, Flounder, has left many fans with mixed feelings. Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment with Flounder’s new look, with several people comparing him to a fish on the medication Ozempic.
Ozempic is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. One of its known side effects is weight loss, which may explain why some fans are comparing Flounder’s new appearance to a slimmed-down fish. In the original animated film, Flounder was a vivid yellow and blue fish with expressive eyes. However, in the live-action adaptation, Flounder looks more like an angelfish or some other reef fish, with smaller, less expressive eyes.
Fans have criticized the new look, with some suggesting that the hyper-realistic makeover is too much for them to take. Many are disappointed that Flounder’s chubby-cheeked, cute appearance has been replaced with a slim, sallow, and sad-looking fish. Twitter users have been sharing side-by-side photos of the original Flounder and the CGI version, expressing their outrage over the new look.
Despite the criticism, there are still fans who are excited to see the live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid.” The new movie stars Halle Bailey as Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as the villainous sea witch Ursula. Disney’s live-action remakes have been a huge success in recent years, with films like “The Lion King,” “Aladdin,” and “Beauty and the Beast” all grossing over $1 billion at the box office.

It remains to be seen if “The Little Mermaid” will follow suit or if Flounder’s controversial new look will turn audiences away. However, one thing is clear: fans have strong opinions about the new depiction of their beloved fish friend. Whether it’s the Ozempic comparisons or the slimmed-down appearance, it’s clear that Flounder’s new look has caused quite a stir among fans.
