Why He Rocks

 * He, along with Scuttle the seagull, is one of the most memorable comic relief characters in The Little Mermaid franchise.
 * 1) Like Flounder, Sebastian is a very great companion towards Ariel.
 * 2) He has two songs, Kiss the Girl and Under The Sea, that are very catchy and a couple of the best songs in the movie.
 * 3) He’s a very helpful assistant to King Triton.
 * 4) His Jamaican accent is one of his best qualities and the late Samuel E. Wright does an amazing job voicing him.
 * 5) Though he can be very strict and stubborn, he is also shown to be very caring, such as how he warns Ariel not to trust Ursula.
 * 6) His rivalry with Chef Louis is fantastic and has perfect chemistry in the film.
 * 7) He even has an urban spin-off segment on Marsupilami, and it's the only good segment of the show.
