"Friend Like Me" from Aladdin 🧞: Multilingual & acted out
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I took "Friend Like Me" from the original animated Disney's Aladdin and acted out each scene, while singing it in multiple different languages and dialects, based on the original dubs in those languages I was most confident in.
Languages I covered include European and Latin American Spanish, European and Canadian French, European and Brazilian Portuguese, German and Italian, while trying to act out as close as I could get to the original animated version, almost frame-by-frame at some places, playing all characters while I'm at it.
I actually recorded this two years ago, and it was a great creative outlet to help me cope with some difficult changes I was going through in my life, but I only managed to get around to the editing part of it this year! Hopefully the audio isn't muted by UA-cam!

Fun fact; my Genie costume didn't come with anything for my head (it was just a mask that would cover my face, losing impact for a video like this where I sing), so I had to make my own entirely by taking:
1. A blue swimming cap
2. A weird faux-gold cylindrical jewellery thing
3. A fake-tail cat-toy
4. Pins and clips
And combine them all, to make my head look more like the Genie's.
Also, rather than wear blue makeup, which I would have gotten sweaty quickly for long scenes in a hot costume, I just tinted my skin blue in the video editing software.
Many years ago I was quite depressed. I had thoughts I did not want living in my mind. Language learning was my only way I found to think different thoughts. It was a PURPOSE when someone had taken away my previous purpose. Like a Genius 🧞♀️ Genie I again had wishes and desire for more purposes. Forgive people and walk with God. You will be better than EVER! Keeping Benny in our prayers that our Father will lift you up as you lift him up. Amen
Legit. Love it.
Bravo Benny! Way too much fun and so well executed!
Juggling, best part
Tried my best to replicate the original. Glad I got parts like that right!!
Brilliant! Love that song!
Wow, you said in another video that you were getting more into the video editing side of things and you weren't kidding! This looks like a lot of work :) impressive
Glad you enjoyed it! I really love the video editing side of things, as you can see 😁.
And yes, this was a ridiculous amount of work 😂
That was awesome! (Can't imagine how long that took to film/edit!)
Whatever time you are picturing, multiply that by a lot! 😂
This is awesome! Your dancing, acting, singing, and editing are super entertaining! Did you translate the lyrics yourself?
No! Each of these was the official dubbed translations that I happened to sing myself. It was a lot of work, but I'm glad the multiple aspects of it are being appreciated!
Robin Williams would be impressed by your multi language singing!
This is so fun! Aladdin is my all time fav. Movie so I was stoked to see you made this! I didn’t think you could one-up your Agatha all along video but colour me IMPRESSED!
The Agatha all Along one actually shows how far I've come in recording and editing tricks, since I pulled that one off in a single afternoon! THIS video, I recorded 2 years ago and needed to learn a tonne to make work, so I'm glad it's finally out in the world!
LOL! One of my fav songs and this video is so much fun!!!❤️
Supernice! You're a real entertainer! 👍🥰
Glad to see you are back in action Benny😀
This must've taken a while to make
Wow! This must have taken so much time!
Benny, are you still learning other languages? Or mantaining the ones you already have?
I'm in maintenance mode for my main languages in recent years, while I recover from hard times. I will get back to learning new ones maybe next year!
Great content as always!!
Glad you think so! Thanks!!
Hope this video gets more attention, glad you're back
Fantastic!
Great to see people are enjoying it!
Well done Benny, on the language, acting and edits all !
Thank you!!
Genius, Benny!
Conveniently, the word "genius" is the same as the word "genie" in multiple languages 🤣
How can you accommodate all these languages I !!! I'm struggling with German
You are really genius Benny
Hilarious! The genie-filled mani/pedi is my favorite scene. Thanks for bringing a little fun into language learning.
Gotta stay true to the original. If it's good enough for the animated version, then I had to reproduce it myself too 🤣 🧞♂️💅
Sos un genio total!! 😂😊 muchas felicitaciones. Me encanta!!!
Gracias Cecilia!!!!! 😊😊😊
Brilliant and super entertaining😂!! Your creativity seems to know no bounds.
Thanks for sharing,your video open our heart, broadens our mind, and fills our life with stories that you tell us!!!
Amazing to see you doing these kind of videos again!
Thanks!! I used TikTok as a gateway to start making quick videos again for a while, and feel like I'm UA-cam-ready again now! Hopefully, you guys enjoy what I have to come, which will be a mixture of this style of fun special-effects language videos, mixed with how I'm recovering from difficult years, to hopefully inspire others going through tough times.
How many languages do you speak, Benny?
Please can you helpe me to speak english
Haha that was brilliant! Great job!
Loooooads of work, so I'm glad people are liking it!
