Flounder is a beloved Disney character from the animated film The Little Mermaid. He is Ariel’s best friend, a small, yellow tropical fish known for his timid and cowardly nature. Despite his fear, he is always by Ariel’s side, accompanying her on her adventures and providing comic relief. Flounder’s name is somewhat ironic, as he is not actually a flounder but a fictional fish species. His bright colors and cheerful personality have made him a popular character with children and adults alike.
