Take a look at this fish, isn’t he neat?
Fans of “The Little Mermaid” are reacting to Flounder’s appearance within the upcoming live-action remake after solo character posters from the Halle Bailey-led film were released Wednesday.
The new edition of the originally plump yellow and blue animated fish — who, despite his name, is definitely a tropical fish — appears mostly silver with dark blue stripes and just some yellow trickling down his scales.
“Room” star Jacob Tremblay, 16, voices the live-action fish, nevertheless it’s the brand new Flounder’s slimmer physique that has Twitter talking.
Some users said Disney “did Flounder so dirty” and that he got “the Steve Buscemi treatment,” possibly due, partially, to his eyes.
“Not they put Flounder on Ozempic! Why he so skinny??? This fish appear like Steve Buscemi,” one other reacted, claiming the fish is hopped up on Hollywood’s go-to weight reduction drug.
“He’s so skinny because he’s at all times swimming around!” one other theorized.
“He also looks baked as hell,” another person declared.
Another person zoomed in on his eyes: “Flounders edible hiiiit.”
Meanwhile, one other credited the fish’s skinner look to buccal fat removal — one other cosmetic trend in Hollywood where people take fat out of their cheeks to create a more gaunt look.
The Post has contacted reps for Disney and Buscemi for comment.
Disney also released Bailey’s rendition of “A part of Your World” on Wednesday.
It was previously reported that a few of the lyrics in “Kiss the Girl” and “Poor Unlucky Souls” have been updated for the remake to emphasise consent and feminine empowerment.
It also features recent songs co-written by “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
