Hey i was born in 1973, and i remember watching this movie with sinbad as the genie and as far as i can recall it was between late 80s early 90s watching at home in the philippines thats all i remember......but clearly sinbad was a genie???🤔🙄🤯

Dear M.E. affected peers, I know you know Sinbad was a Genie before anyone else in his terrible VHS made for kids movie "Shazam" yes I know that 100% as well. I lived it. I went to the rental store all the time. I have multiple memories and memories OF memories and even the disgust that they rebooted it with Shaq years later after Sinbad's had flopped. Everyone in my house was literally like oh no not again. No point in ever seeing Shaq's version since we already saw Sinbad do it. However I don't necessarily agree with community on who starred in it. I want everyone who genuinely has memories of the Sinbad genie movie to go see Prehysteria. That movie triggered something that makes me believe not only that that's the same child actor (Austin O'Brien) but that it's the SAME company that put out the Shazam movie. It has the same kind of low budget too, and around the same time. Go watch the opening and tell me if you feel or don't feel that company logo released it on the VHS. I think people say Disney incorrectly because of the fact that it DID play on the Disney channel...and Sinbad DID make Disney movies around the same time. However THIS one was a lower budget movie for sure. And it was after his HBO special and sitcom had come out. But really early on. Now go look at "Aliens for Brrakfast" a terrible Sinbad movie get DIDNT use to exist but now does. I submit to you to consider that Sinbad did Shazam with Austin O'Brien in an alternate timeline under the same studio that produced Prehysteria. And in that timeline Aliens for breakfast did NOT exist but was his terrible kids movie in this timeline instead. We may be in a timeline now where sinbad did aliens for breakfast instead OF Shazam and possibly Prehysteria didn't exist either until this timeline. Also consider that for all of us who said "aww not again!" When the theatrical trailer for Kazam aired...note that we may had already crossed over at THAT time and didn't know it. Just because we all remembered the Sinbad movie when Shaq's came out...doesnt mean we could go back and watch them back to back. I think it's possible we already crossed over at that time. Its just not easy to tell because we didn't have the internet back then. Either way Sinbad 100% DID play a genie in a movie called Shazam...regardless of whether it exists now or in this timeline.

I watched kazaam. It happened.

These guys are drug addicts

Shazam never happened... He hosted a Sinbad pirate marathon for a weekend where he dressed like a middle eastern pirate... But the movie never existed... Johnathan Taylor Thomas never starred in it... The kid from sidekicks never starred in it either... Y'all remember seeing the Kazam Shaq movie being advertised.. and nope none of this happened.

It's Chik-fil-A

There is evidence that the movie exists

I’m sure if someone actually go through all kinds of tapes from the year before I’m sure that a trailer exists on vhs movies just like the first kid movie

I watched Kazaam and Shazaam and thought Kazaam was a rip off of Shazaam. I watched Shazaam at home and Kazaam at school. I literally watched and remember both lol

What kid actors do yall remember from the movie? Some people say Johnathan Taylor Thomas, some say Jonathan brandis who passed away, and no one remembers the girl actress. Who do yall remember?

😮😮😮

The Real Reason Behind the “Shazam” Confusion: A Look at “Houseguest” and “Kazaam” For years, the internet has been abuzz with discussions about a non-existent 1990s movie called “Shazam” starring comedian Sinbad as a genie. This widespread false memory, often attributed to the Mandela Effect, has puzzled many and even spawned numerous theories. However, a closer look at the television programming of the time, specifically around the airing of “Kazaam” and Sinbad’s “Houseguest,” provides a plausible explanation for this persistent myth. The Origins of the Confusion “Kazaam,” released in 1996, features NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal as a rapping genie who emerges from a boombox to grant a young boy three wishes. Despite its star power, the film was critically panned and is often remembered more for its novelty than its cinematic quality. Around the same period, Sinbad was a prominent figure in family entertainment. In 1995, he starred in “Houseguest,” a comedy where he plays a con man who pretends to be a family’s long-lost friend to escape some unsavory characters. Although “Houseguest” has no magical elements or genies, it was part of the same family-friendly genre that “Kazaam” targeted. The Key Connection: TV Airings The crucial link that might explain the “Shazam” myth lies in the airing schedules of these films on television. In the 1990s, cable channels like TNT often had themed programming blocks, especially on weekends. It’s entirely possible that “Kazaam” and “Houseguest” were aired during the same weekend or even within the same block of programming on TNT. This temporal proximity could have led to a blending of memories, especially since both films were marketed to similar audiences and featured prominent comedic actors. The Mandela Effect and Memory Blending The Mandela Effect, named after the false collective memory of Nelson Mandela’s death in the 1980s, describes how large groups of people remember something that didn’t happen. In the case of “Shazam,” viewers may have conflated memories of “Kazaam” and Sinbad’s “Houseguest” due to the overlapping timeframes and the actors’ similar comedic styles. Sinbad’s significant television presence during the 1990s also contributed to this confusion. His appearances on talk shows, sitcoms, and movies kept him in the public eye, making it easy for viewers to mistakenly insert him into the role of a genie, a character type he never actually played. Conclusion: Debunking the Myth While the fictional “Shazam” movie starring Sinbad remains a fascinating topic for those interested in the quirks of human memory, the more straightforward explanation lies in the timing and marketing of family-friendly films in the mid-1990s. The simultaneous airing of “Kazaam” and “Houseguest” on channels like TNT likely led to the conflated memories that gave rise to this enduring myth. By understanding the context and timing of these films’ releases and airings, we can finally put the “Shazam” myth to rest and appreciate the true, albeit less fantastical, roles that Sinbad and Shaquille O’Neal played in our nostalgic recollections. - Sladjan Hidic There guys DEBUNKED

There is no Shazaam movie with Sinbad as a genie. The evidence supporting this is overwhelming. Too many people would rather develop extreme theories, like government coverups and parallel universes, than admit they’re misremembering and need to update their knowledge. It’s rampant cognitive dissonance.

Every 1994 movie and music video helped cover it up start back tracking

Shazaam came out in 94

Next Friday movie they ask Sinbad where his flying carpet is

💐 "PromoSM"

Honestly I feel if they can get us to 2nd guess our memories , they can control us .

I was an adult single mom with a small child and I rented the movie Shazam starring Sinbad. Kazam was a cheap copy version. Shazam. did exist and it does not now. I am not confused. And originally it was " The Bernstein Bears" then it changed to Berenstein and now it's Berenstain. What the hell is going on. I'm an excellent speller and could read and write at an early age and I clearly remember. It was fruit loop, Captain crunch, jiffy peanut butter, kit-kat, life IS like a box of chocolates, South America was a little more centered under North America and our earth lived on the arm of Sagitarious not as close to the center of the galaxy as now. Yes things have truly changed and gotten very strange. Feels like we're living in our own scifi movie. No one knows for sure what's causing M.E. but it is real, no doubt in my mind.

REMOTE VIEWINGS SHOW THAT THIS BEING HAS CHOSEN THIS PATH WHICH IS TO TUMBLE THROUGH DIMENSIONS TRYING TO HELP IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS UNTIL A EVENT IS EITHER DIVERTED OR THE EVENT HAPPENS. BUT THE MADDNESS OF THIS BEING IS THAT IT HAS NO IDEA WHAT IT IS THERE FOR UNTIL THE EVENT HAPPENS BUT IT JUST GETS A SENSE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE THERE TO HELP. ALSO THE VIEWINGS SHOW THIS BEING IS VERY CONFUSED AND A BIT UNSTABLE WITH ITS MIND, PROBABLY DO TO THE TUMBLING THROUGH TIME AND SPACE THING IT DOES. ALSO I HAVE SEEN MOTHMAN ONCE IN MY HOME TOWN IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WITH A FEW OF MY FRIENDS DRIVING ON SOME BACK ROADS. DOING MY STORY ON MY RUMBLE CHANNEL SATURDAY ON MY SHOW WONDERCAST. BY THE WAY SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT NOTICED IT HALF THROUGH THE COMMENT...DON'T MEAN TO SCREAM AT YOU. GREAT CHANNEL THOUGH FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN...ADDED.

That looks like a cloaked robot

It is always nice to see something everyone knew was happening confirmed. Now find some tapes of the bribes paid to get Biden through the 2020 primaries

GO KARI LAKE ❤

Happy wife happy life 😂

I remember Shazam and Kazaam

I believe I finally figured it out. Sinbad did dress in a costume for a movie at 8:39 he's wearing a costume and he probably parodied a genie to make fun of Shaqs Kazam movie. That's probably the confusion 😊. Just my opinion but makes sense.

A lot of people say Berenstein Bears, and I remember that when I was a kid, but I had many Berenstain Bears books, and always thought it was funny the way it was spelled like like poop stain, even though everybody was pronouncing it Steen. So I'm not one of the people that that remembers it being spelled differently, I always knew that it was spelled Berenstain, and just thought it was weird that everybody pronounced it Berenstein.

Podcast is 👌

I'm holding my VHS of Shazaam, I also have Kazaam. Both movies are equally cheesy. I wish KZbin would allow me because I'd upload the entire Shazaam movie.

Watch any 1994 movie and there is a hint of Shazaam in it you been brainwashed

MAN! GOOGLE is part of DARPA.. ALPHABTE.. YOU TUBE KEWIS AZKENAZIS.. ZIONISTS... DO YOU DEPEND o GOOLE... Knowing THEY ARE THE DARK WITCHES>? Wake your AS UP!!! DO real RESEARCH.... and NEVER EVER forget about others evidences like STAR WARS! MANDELA or .. ALTERNATE TIME LINES RESIDUES ARE real every day! WAKE up! YUK01

I remember watching both Shazam and Kazzam. Even as a kid I felt like Kazzam was a knock off of Shazam.

I also specifically remember there being 2 different genie movies. One with Sinbad, then one with Shaq. I even remember thinking "Why is Shaq making a genie movie too?"

I remember the same scene with the attic, and the brother and sister that she mentions...

I remember watching the Sinbad movie with my kids.

Nee man.. Ik heb die film gezien als kind. En die film van Shaq is juist een soort van rip off van Shazaam.. Heb Shazaam zelfs meer dan 1 keer gezien maar kan me niet zoveel meer heugen. Maar k weet er was een jongen en meisje erin. En niet alleen dat later kwam er een soort van App en TV show Shazam. En k had altijd in mijn gedachten dat het ook afgeleid was van de film Shazaam. Dus net als een genie kon j wensen en dan ging het in vervulling. Netzo functioneerde die App ook. Je kan een paar lyrics van een liedje zingen en dan kon het dat lied voor je opzoeken. En dit was allemaal voordat ik zag dat die film van Sinbad nooit heeft bestaan. Vond en vind ik heel vreemd. Ben overal gaan zoeken op het net. Kan nergens een geverifieerd resultaat vinden. Ik weet ik ben NIET gek en kan ook zweren dat ik die film heb gezien. 😢

The Mandela effect is powerless against your personal vhs tapes. Maybe this is why I can't upload certain material???¿??????????

Curious, how many remember watching either of the Shazam series' on tv?

Sinbad admitted doing the movie 3 times now, 5 minutes of research could have told you that, and I bet $ you're fully aware that he did. It hit tv, there was a dispute over the name shazam from DC, disney lost, and VHS never got distributed at all. STOP LYING FOR VIEWS.

I ABSOLUTELY REMEMBER THE OLD MAPS! NEW ZEALAND WAS NOT THERE, YOU ARE RIGHT. NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO REMEMBER THIS...THANK YOU!!

I know for fact that Shazam was a real movie. I'd remember if a big ass guy named Shaq. But no we remember Sinbad, Johnthan Taylor & a low-key actor. Why don't we ask Johnathan about it? Why only ask Sinbad?

Its because where in a parallel universe. There was one point where urcel was dead now hes alive again. Weird stuff. 😮

You know that clip you showed is Sinbad dressed as the pirate Sinbad - he's talking about it in the clip about how the pirate SInbad (who had numerous movies and shows over the years) would always save the damsel in distress. He's not dressed as a genie..

The man we need to thank,bull brother he is a abomination to Jesus Christ u blasfemery😮😮😮😢😢my God save your soul

In my original timeline it was the Flintstones. In an alternate timeline people freaked out over the missing t in the new Flinstones. Seems that the t has returned again in the Flintstones in an apparent twice Mandela Effect flip flop... LOL

I just remember the old Sinbad movies and the comedian Sinbad, if i recall i think maybe it was just a joke or a spoof when the comedian Sinbad dressed as a genie in a stand up show or a promo. I dont recall the movie Shazaam but i do remember he in that genie outfit. I also do remember Shaq in Kazam but never saw it lol. I think both "movies" did horrible and not well known and could be easy to confuse. But yes we all remember things a certain way and them changing some way.

This is sad how could anybody remember the Cherokee kid as shaq im in my 40s i remember when this movie came out even had my shaq rookie card with me when i watched it we left the movie talking about how bad shaq sucked in the movie

Tired of this nonsense. Shaq was the star, not Sinbad. I freaking saw the movie like two weeks after it came to theaters. It was always Shaq.

It's MK Ultra messing with minds, nothing more or less

Aint nothing wrong with a righteous man @ABSOUL #TERRORISTTHREATS
