Jacob Tremblay knows some 'Little Mermaid' fans are taking issue with Flounder's new look in Disney's new live-action remake — and he wants everyone to chill out.
Tremblay, pictured here at the "The Little Mermaid" premiere in Los Angeles on May 8, said fans should see the movie before they criticize characters' appearances.Tremblay revealed that he first saw a glimpse of the new Flounder several years ago while auditioning for the part.
"I thought it was really cool because I like how they’re doing it to make them look like real animals," he said, referring to other characters in the movie. Scuttle looks like a northern gannet diving bird; Sebastian looks like a crab.“In rehearsals too I had seen the other characters’ designs and thought it was really cool, and then I finally got to see the movie last night and I thought they worked really well.
"I couldn’t really imagine it a different way, if that makes sense. I think it worked perfectly; they were really smart about it," he added.
