What would Flounder be like from the new “Little Mermaid” for other directors (17 photos)

Many transformations awaited the unfortunate fish.





Disney studio showed all the characters of the new “Little Mermaid” in the trailer and on separate posters. This time, special attention on social networks went not to the leading actress Ariel, played by Halle Bailey, but to the animated Flounder, the heroine’s friend. In the new film adaptation of the classic story, the fish turned out to be too realistic, especially in comparison with Flounder from the cartoons.

The lack of bright colors and an almost emotionless face made the cheerful character depressed. Memes about hopelessness have already spread around the Internet, where the new Flounder asks to be dried out and hit his head on the table, and so on.

Users also tried to imagine what Flounder would look like if “The Little Mermaid” had been directed not by Disney, but by various famous directors, adapting the hero to their own style. This is exactly what we will show you.

The classic “I’m in 2023/I’m in 2019” jokes were, of course, joked.

But why not entrust the film adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” to someone else?
