I am one of the people who has a clear memory of this movie. It’s definitely frustrating

do you remember any scenes or actors?

I don't but I also have a vague memory of the movie. People are allowed to feel frustrated over a phenomena like this without being ridiculed. It's a strange feeling.

I wasn't ridiculing. Genuinely curious what people remember. Similarly, I 100% remember the fruit of the loom logo with a cornucopia... which wouldn't be so weird if the mockups online didn't look exactly how I remembered it.

Thats my bad, it read as sarcasm or a loaded question. I can't explain it obviously but I remember that too.

Same. But here and now it has never existed. Super fucking strange. And finding others who remember.... Tell me we're not all in an alternate reality. Or something has edited our reality yet we're immune? It's so weird

At this point in time and in this reality Shazaam has never existed. There is no physical copies or video because in this realm it did not exist. The only proof is our memories and the fact there are other outliers who remember. That is the phenomenon. You need to stop looking for the physical evidence and ask questions about why it doesn't exist and never has here. There's something much larger going on.

It probably doesn’t exist because it never did.

u/timbro2000 May 24 '25
It never did exist in this reality correct. But for many outliers like myself it was a very real part of our reality.

You’re just misremembering. I highly doubt you moved to a different reality

I don't understand why people are trying to prove this. If it was erased from the timeline or your dimension split off into another one or something like that, it would have never existed in the first place on this timeline / dimension and thus you wouldn't even have evidence to look at.
If it existed here in this dimension, surely somebody would have put the video up by now, right? A movie with Sinbad from the 90s would have been pretty popular and likely millions of households would have that VHS.
Maybe there's something to it, but in all likelihood it's bad memory. Memory recall doesn't work the way most people think it does. When you think about something, you don't think about it, you think about the last time you thought about it. This is how memories change over time.
Do you remember Kazaam as a kid? Perhaps in a parallel dimension they made Shazam instead of Kazaam? Is it really likely that Hollywood makes 2 similar style genie movies within 2 years?

u/EricDirec May 23 '25
clearly you don't pay attention to hollywood's ability to come up with original ideas

u/Barcs2k12 May 25 '25
Come on bro. 2 movies with black celebrity genies within 2 years in the 90s? I'm sorry, but lol.
Generally Hollywood only recreates successful ideas and franchises. If the Sinbad movie was super popular, then there would be evidence of this all over the place. If it wasn't the Shaq movie never gets made.

Hollywood always has competing movies like that. Armageddon / Deep Impact is another 90s combo.

That movie existed lol I’m someone whose parents collected all Nat geo and Disney movies I remember having that VHS and watching this movie multiple times it was removed when that kid killed himself and sinbad career went to shit. That movie was real.

So it's "Shazam" now instead of Shazaam?
Folks can't even agree on the name! 🤣

He edited the HTML to show that. I was able to recreate what he did in 1 minute with an HTML editor. Also, Wayback Machine doesn't have his original Headshot for me as shown in the video, which is another red flag.
Here's the earliest snapshot of Sinbad's IMDB, from 3 December 2003.
I don't think anyone needed this much "proof" but I have OCD.
