What was the name of the shiny crab guy? He really reminded me of David Bowie, look and sound. Also, who played/voiced him?

The writer / one of the music composers for the movie, Lin-Manuel Miranda, said that was made to be David Bowie-esque intentionally.

Jemaine Clement, the voice of the cabot villain white parrot in Rio movies. This guy will become the new Jim Cummings in long-feature animated movies if he stills follow this way. Totally unavoidable.

Totally makes me think they should get Bret McKenzie for a Disney movie to someday. I mean, those two together singing a song in a Disney movie. That would be incredible.
