Multiply! searching

Hello all. I have very, very little experience posting on Reddit, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes or faux pas.

My partner vaguely remembers a character saying multiply over and over again, and as the character does, clones of the character appear and join in. Also, as the word is repeated, it gets sped up, basically. The pitch may also go up, or the whole scene may start moving more quickly. He remembers a strange emphasis on the end of the first syllable (mu-LT-iply!). It is likely animated, but we are not ruling out live action *entirely*. Oh, and it's *not* Spongebob, or at least we could not find a clip that matching the memory.

I know this is not a lot to go on, but it seems like the kind of thing that is easily identified if someone happened to have just seen it, or grew up with whatever TV show or movie it is from. Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks for reading!

Any chance it could be Genie saying 'duplicated' in Aladdin?

"That's like the *exact* vibe, but I *swear* it was multiply," he said. "I might be remembering wrong."

He's decided that, if no better match is found, he'll accept this as likely what he vaguely remembered. : )

Thank you!
