Appearances[]

The Little Mermaid[]

In the film he is the only character to give unconditional support for Ariel's fascination with human things, and at one point gives Ariel a statue of Eric as a gift. When Ariel confesses, she is in love with Eric, she strikes a deal with an evil sea witch. Flounder joins Ariel in Eric's Kingdom as she tries to win his heart.

Flounder joins Sebastian, Scuttle and other pond and sea creatures in the song Kiss the Girl. Flounder then helps Ariel defeat Ursula who is planning to capture Ariel by battling Flotsam and Jetsam. When Ursula is killed, Flounder attends the wedding and gets a good-bye kiss as she and Eric enjoy their marriage. He is voiced by Jason Marin in the 1989 film and the album called Sebastian from The Little Mermaid.

What does he like to do?[]

Flounder appears in all the episodes of the prequel television series, sharing constant adventures with Ariel. According to the television series, Flounder's real name is Guppy Number 35.

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea[]

Flounder has a small role in sequel, where he is reunited with Ariel and takes part in the search for Melody. He is later shown as an adult and to have become a father himself, having five children of his own. In this film, he is voiced by Cam Clarke. He is a father in both the franchise and this movie.

The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning[]

He has a larger role in the prequel film, in which he first meets Ariel (contradicting the TV series, specifically the episode "The Evil Manta", which showed a completely different version of their first meeting) and later unknowingly leads her to the Catfish Club, where he works as a waiter, but dreams of being a part of the Catfish Club Band. His characterization is notably different in this movie; he doesn't scare as easily and is much more carefree and high-spirited. He's obsessed with music, constantly humming and beatboxing even at inappropriate moments, which, given that music is forbidden in Atlantica, lands him into trouble on more than one occasion, but which also helps others keep their spirits up, most notably when his beatboxing kicks off the reprise of "Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora)" when he, Ariel, Sebastian and the Catfish Club Band are on the run from Atlantica. In this film, he is voiced by Parker Goris.

Ant-Man[]

During the final battle of Ant-Man, Flounder can be seen as one of the piggy banks on Cassie Lang's dresser in her room.

Disney Parks[]

He's in the Hong Kong Disneyland version of "It's a Small World".

Mickey's Pirate & Princess Party[]

He has also appeared in the parks as a walk-around character, but mostly in parades, shows and special events such as Mickey's Pirate & Princess Party.

Disney On Ice[]

Flounder joins Ariel, Sebastian, Ursula and the occasional King Triton in nearly all Disney on Ice live shows.

The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure[]

Musical[]

Flounder appears in the stage adaptation of The Little Mermaid. His supporting role is similar as in the film, but he does not give Ariel the statue of Eric, and does not help Ariel reach Eric's wedding barge, as the Vanessa subplot has been removed. However, Flounder performs a new song titled "She's in Love", which he sings with Ariel's sisters when they notice that Ariel has been acting "fishy lately". The stage role was originated by Cody Hanford and J.J. Singleton, but the two actors had to leave the show when their height overshot that of Sierra Boggess, who originated Ariel. The role was taken over by Trevor Braun and Brian D'Addario. On the Original Broadway Cast Recording, Brian D'Addario performs as Flounder.

He is voiced in Japanese by Rica Matsumoto as a child and Yūji Mitsuya as an adult.
