Pass Or Fail?

While a few characters are exactly how we’d imagined them to be, some of our most beloved characters have been robbed of their charm and made to look disturbingly realistic.

Is It Sebastian Or Mr. Krabs?

Sebastian the crab is designed almost too realistically, but with his eyes bulging out of his shell, it seems like Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants was the inspiration behind his appearance.

Scuttle Becomes A Female Bird!

Scuttle, who was originally a male seagull in the animated version, can be seen as a female diving bird in the posters. If it’s any consolation, the makers have kept the fork (or the dinglehopper) at least.

Flounder Gets Robbed Off His Colors

The perky-looking royal angel fish called Flounder, Ariel’s closest companion, has been changed into a dismal blue fish lacking both its vibrant colors and the classic smile that made the character so precious.

Sun-Kissed Ariel Saves The Day

Halle Bailey looks ever so graceful while being captured as Ariel looking towards the sky with her braided red hair and successfully communicates the longing of her character to step into the outside world in the poster.

The Mighty King Triton

The mighty King Triton (Javier Bardem) can be seen emerging from the water wearing his sea-shell armor and holding the trident with a look that tells you he’s ready to fight.

The Charming Prince Eric

Ursula: The Sea Witch

Amongst all the characters it was Flounder’s appearance that garnered the largest uproar with one user saying, “Did Flounder get COVID?” while another complained, “Y’all did Flounder wrong!”
