Aladdin Central Messageboard

When Rasoul and the guards throw Prince Ali over the cliff and Genie turns into a submarine to save him, the subtitles always say he's babbling in German. Anyone here know German and might have an idea what he might be saying.

Yeah, that's definitely not real German. It's just some Germish. Razz

Lots of comic actors babble in Germish every now and again.

You don't suppose it could pass for Mermish, then? Laughing

Uh... no. Mermish sounds a bit more like Upset Stomach. Very Happy

I thought it was described as a high screeching noise that merpeople made when they were out of the water. Confused

...Which is close enough to Upset Stomach, wouldn't you say?

Oh wow. I thought Genie spoke, " Russian" and it showed a submarine. Because when Aladdin came out, The Russian spy movies was in. Like the " The Hunt for Red October" etc...

I guess Mermish could pass for an upset stomach. At least for when the Sissy and the dog have an upset stomach, and they're about to throw up.

It could've been supposed to be something Russianesque, but I think it sounded more Germish, persanally.
