What is the name of the chef who tries to cook Sebastian?

The chef who tries to cook Sebastian is Chef Louis.

Chef Louis is Prince Eric’s eccentric palace chef in Disney’s 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid. He discovers Sebastian in the kitchen and mistakes the crab for part of the seafood dinner, leading to a frantic chase through pots, pans, counters, and the dining room.

The sequence introduces Louis as both a comic antagonist and a memorable supporting character. He sings “Les Poissons,” a French-themed kitchen song, while enthusiastically preparing fish. Sebastian repeatedly escapes Louis’s knives and cooking utensils, turning the scene into one of the film’s best-known slapstick moments.

A common mix-up is confusing Chef Louis with characters from other Disney films. Chef Skinner belongs to Ratatouille, while Chef Gusteau is also from Ratatouille; Remy is that film’s rat protagonist. In The Little Mermaid, Louis is voiced by René Auberjonois.
