Ebb and Flo are Ursula's pet moray eels who appear in the Disney Jr. animated series Ariel.
They are based on Flotsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid, except they are portrayed as supporting characters, instead of villainous minions.
Background[]
Like Flotsam and Jetsam, Ebb and Flo possess magical abilities. They can change color and imitate different animal sounds. But unlike their original counterparts, they are very friendly and are more like Ursula's pets than her minions.
Physical appearance[]
Ebb and Flo have purple skin with a pattern of pink spots and stripes that go along their bodies, and have golden light pupil eyes. In contrast to their scary-looking appearances which Flotsam and Jetsam had, Ebb and Flo appear much friendlier-looking, with larger eyes and smoother skins with no wrinkles in their faces, perhaps to reflect their friendlier and more heroic nature in the series. While they look the same the only difference between them is that Ebb has short upper fangs while Flo has long bottom fangs.
Trivia[]
- Ebb and Flo's names happen to be the same names of two alligators who appeared in The Little Mermaid series episode "Beached".
- These are the first versions of Ursula's eels to not be named Flotsam and Jetsam or be evil.
- Like Flotsam and Jetsam in the 2023 remake, Ebb and Flo do not have any spoken dialogue in the series. However, they do sing a bit in the show's theme song.
