Crocodile Gena

My first fansub was of Crocodile Gena. Enjoy!

A side-note on the name "Cheburashka" -- which is totally impossible to translate, especially in subtitles. To "cheburakhnutsa" means to fall down, in a very colloquial language. So, the salesman calls him a "cheburashka" because he keeps falling down. I tried to work it into the translation several times, but then just gave up. :/

Edited: I finally found a solution that I'm fairly happy with, all things considered. The salesman now says "You chubby rascal!" which, I believe, is as close as one can get to taking care of "Cheburashka" without requiring a footnote.
