"Les Poissons" (in French "les poissons" simply means "the fishes") is a song from the 1989 film
Both the song and character of Chef Louis do not appear in the 2023 live-action remake of the film due to the new approach given to the story to have the second half focus more on the developing romantic relationship between Ariel and Eric.[1] Explaining its exclusion, director Rob Marshall stated: "It's literally a Saturday morning cartoon section. If we had filmed it – I don’t know how we would've filmed it –- it never would have played. It's also a vacation from the story and has nothing to do with the story, so you can't do that in a live-action film."[2]
