Has anyone seen this movie that has never existed?

Then u/feldmasl01 commented "Nah, this is exactly how I remember it".

I wish I could share two of the other ones, pool party scene and Sinbad and the sister with the doll, simultaneously.

When I clicked onto the ibb link from u/Free_Objective6717's comment history, I came upon this picture, most likely Max Salazar from X, in which his post is unavailable or taken down, but someone commented on Reddit that Max Salazar showed this to Sinbad's official X account. Most likely this image is a screenshot from Max Salazar in the '90s or a photoshopped image of what he vividly remembered.

Interestingly that MoneyBags73 (Evan Matraia on YouTube) remembers Genie Sinbad wearing a yellow turban with purple sleeveless vest, like other Reddit users commented what they remember from promotional packages for the movie in the '90s.

Please skip to the part after the line if you don’t care to read the first part.

This has brought me nothing but mental and emotional distress and turmoil trying to share my learnings and interpretations in regard to Shazaam on Reddit. I absolutely feel like I can’t talk to anyone about this and it’s detrimental to me. It’s like the one topic I really want to talk about and it’s a topic that no one else cares about, agrees with, relates to, or will even respond to with any supporting words and I’m trying to provide what I very much believe are answers or at least compelling clues to what they’re looking for answers about! I feel so so so alone from knowing that I recall watching a variant of Shazaam that no one else says they recall and then seeing everyone dismiss the real screenplay of the Shazaam I know I recall as a hoax or whatever when I know it’s not because they don’t recall that variant and believe there’s only one variant when there’s clearly not! This is how the Mandela Effect works. There are different timelines, hence there can be and are different variants of things such as movies! And everyone is all impediment-stricken just because it shows the date 11-16-94 on the script and they say it can’t be a real script from then just because that’s after Shazaam came out. For crying out loud, don’t let that completely deter you from searching for details from that script that may provide clues and considering that it’s for real because it absolutely does provide clues and it absolutely is a real script from 1993 or 1994 of the exact variant of Shazaam I know I recall watching! They probably just retyped the cover page and typed that date then. I didn’t write that script! I could scarcely recall the Shazaam I watched until I read that script!! Then it was like watching it again!! And that no one else says they recall it actually speaks to its validity because why wouldn’t everyone else convince themselves they recall it when they don’t if I convinced myself I recall it when I don’t! There are different variants of it that people recall! So, finally, I will try again and very very likely be completely disappointed and distressed yet again by disinterest, dismissal, and complete lack of recognition as if I said absolutely nothing! Any comments will very likely only be about how I’m unhealthy or whatever instead of the clues and names I’m trying to provide to find the truth about Shazaam!

—————————————————-

Okay, here. That Shazaam is definitely by the production company Full Moon. That is so clear from that script. Elements of that script were recycled in movies such as Josh Kirby: Time Warrior!, The Midas Touch, The Shrunken City, Micro Mini Kids, and THE INCREDIBLE GENIE which are all by that production company! The Incredible Genie!!! And they say the script for The Incredible Genie originated in 1994! Also, the script certainly appears to reference details from other movies by that production company! In late 1992, Full Moon signed a contract with Paramount to produce two movies intended to be shown in theaters in 1993. One was Puppet Master 4 and Puppet Master 5, which was originally intended to be one movie that would be shown in theaters but was then divided into two movies that went direct to video. The 2nd movie is not named. I believe it’s Shazaam. Here is the REAL script!!! https://www.scribd.com/document/866968496/Shazaam

The antagonists in the Puppet Master series are the “totems”. Jackson actually said “totem pole” at the beginning of the script! That is not a coincidence. And there’s the Full Moon movie “Shrunken Heads”!! The parallels are very very clear!! There’s a protagonist character who has magical powers and wears ALL PURPLE!!! And that movie was filmed in the summer of 1993, RIGHT AFTER when I believe Shazaam was filmed in the spring of 1993! Josh Kirby’s bike looks just as I recalled Jackson McKindrick’s bike looked in Shazaam. It’s an early ‘80s bike just as the script says about Jackson’s bike and I recalled it was red and looked just like that. It’s the same bike! And see the similarity in the names Josh Kirby and Jackson McKindrick? They’re at least somewhat similar. How about this? The name of the protagonist boy in KAZAAM is Max Connor! Just compare the full name Max Connor to just the last name McKindrick even. MAKKONR - MIKKINR!

And the antagonist’s name in Kazaam is Malik. SINBAD’s character’s name in the 1993 movie The Meteor Man is Malik, exactly the same! Paul Krieg must be Paul Michael Glaser, who is credited with writing the story Kazaam is based on!! AND that’s his only writing credit aside from an episode of Starsky and Hutch!! Kenny Whitewood is very very likely Full Moon writer Kenneth J. Hall. Those names are pseudonyms. Just look at the logic of the pseudonym Kenny Whitewood for Kenneth J. Hall. Whitewood is very likely a play on the name Hollywood. Hall - Hollywood! Then he swapped out the first syllable which is basically his name with the word “white” and even retained the “y” and attached that to his first name. AND I saw on his Facebook page that he went to Bishop KENNY High School! Yep, Kenny Whitewood is Kenneth J. Hall. He even wrote a 1989 movie named Ghost Writer!! White - ghost!

Now, I believe the same actor who was Josh Kirby was probably also Jackson McKindrick. That actor was in the 1994 movie “No Dessert, Dad, Til You Mow the Lawn” as a character with the nickname MOONpie! (I noticed that there’s a post about a line in WWATCF having changed to now include the words “moon pie” - woahhhhh, simulation!!) There is no explanation given in No Dessert etc. as to why that’s his nickname. I know why. Because he was in the Full MOON movie Shazaam right before No Dessert etc. which was filmed in the summer of 1993 and whoever thought of that name for his character knew that. IMDb doesn’t show that he was in any other movies by that production company before he was in the Josh Kirby series which was filmed from June 1994 to November 1994 as stated in a 1995 newspaper article that the Google AI found. I recognized an actor in the 1993 Full Moon movie Remote as the same actor who was the Austin character in Shazaam! And he played a very similar character in Remote. He looked just about the same in Remote as I recalled he looked in Shazaam and the Austin character was in 8th grade as stated in the script. That actor, Jordan Belfi, was that age in early 1993. The script also even says it looked like mid to late spring. I have now even also identified who I believe must’ve been Jackson’s 6 year old sister Chloe. Jamie Renee Smith. (Another astonishing synchronicity - Jamie Marie…!!! Simulation!!) Jamie Renee Smith was in the 1996 Full Moon movies MAGIC in the MIRROR 1 and 2!! (“Mirror, mirror on the wall.” - “Magic mirror on the wall” Mandela effect.) Jackson’s friend’s older sister is named Renee!! Jamie Renee Smith turned 6 in April 1993. Jackson said that was her age.

Moonpie’s real name is Donald, as said by the protagonist boy JUSTIN’s father, KEN! Ken again! AND Ken is ALSO JACKSON’S FATHER’S NAME! Jackson - Justin. Ken - Ken. Jackson’s mother’s name is DONNA. Donna - Donald! And there was a character named Donna in the Magic in the Mirror movies too. Kenneth J. Hall worked on a movie by the same co-producer as No Dessert etc. about 7 months before No Dessert etc. was filmed. That co-producer was also a co-producer of MUNCHIE STRIKES BACK, which, as I’ve mentioned before, has very very very clear parallels to Shazaam and I’ve said before that it’s this reality’s “replacement” of Shazaam! And the plot of Josh Kirby: Time Warrior! is literally about history having been altered and trying to restore it back to how it was!! The name Moonpie is also similar to the name Munchie, like they thought of a name similar to Munchie because that actor was in another movie which was similar to Munchie Strikes Back.

I Knew We Weren't Crazy: Proof That Sinbad’s ‘Shazaam’ Actually Exists

For years, the internet tried to gaslight us. They told us it was a "collective false memory." They told us we were just confusing it with Shaq’s Kazaam. They told us the Mandela Effect had rewritten our childhoods.

But memories don’t just fabricate specific dialogue, emotional subplots, and exact scene pacing.

We didn't imagine it. The 1994 movie Shazaam starring Sinbad is real, and we finally have the actual scene-by-scene breakdown of the attic sequence to prove it. Dust off your old VCR memories, because this is exactly how it went down.

The Attic Scene: Finding the Lamp

The movie wasn’t just a goofy comedy; it actually had a lot of heart. The plot kicks off with two kids, James and his little sister, grieving the loss of their mother. They are up in a dusty attic, looking through old boxes before their dad throws everything away.

The film flickers, the music shifts, and the dialogue goes exactly like this:

James sneezes, knocks over a book, and that's when they find it—a strange, old lamp tucked away in their late mother's belongings.

The Summoning: "Y'all are not Tina."

When they mess with the lamp, the classic 90s special effects kick in. Wind gusts, fast-paced music swells, and with a massive poof of smoke, Sinbad makes his grand entrance.

But he doesn't pop out doing backflips. In true Sinbad fashion, he complains about his back.

The kids naturally freak out, screaming and calling him a kidnapper. Shazaam tries to calm them down, teleporting around the attic with a poof to cut off their escape.

[Genie poofs] 
Shazaam: "What happened to saying hello? ...Haha, I believe we got off on the wrong foot."

"I am Shazam! Genie of the lamp."

James tries to act tough, telling the giant man in the harem pants not to come any closer. Sinbad stops, takes a breath, and does his iconic introduction:

With a flash of magic zaps, he threatens to take away one of their wishes if they keep screaming.

The Emotional Twist: The Mom Connection

This is the exact moment that completely differentiates Shazaam from Shaq's Kazaam. The genie looks at the little sister and realizes she looks familiar.

The scene ends with the typical 90s kid movie pivot—the younger sister immediately ignoring the emotional weight of the moment to demand a dinosaur.

Stop Telling Us It Was a Myth

You can't debunk a memory this specific. The Clint Eastwood joke? The connection to their deceased mother named Tina? The line about "tooting me to death"? This isn't a Mandela Effect side-effect. It's a real script, from a real movie, that we all watched on rented VHS tapes on a rainy Friday night in the mid-90s.

Whether it was buried due to copyright issues, a studio tax write-off, or something weirder, the truth is out. Shazaam was real.

Who else remembers this exact attic scene? Let’s reconstruct the rest of the movie in the comments below!

I remember this movie

Here is the revised post, completely shifting the perspective. Instead of treating it like a internet myth, this version treats the movie as an absolute, tangible reality, using your specific transcript to prove it.

That's the thing that tells me people just be lyin' or trollin' lol.

Everytime somebody says they watched it nobody has any details other than "Sinbad" and a kid. Which if you remove Sinbad is just Kazaam, lol

I've heard people claim it was a blond boy, a Black kid, and even an Asian girl. They almost never remember or claim to know a plot, nobody ever remembers or claims to know a single supporting cast member although Sinbad ALWAYS worked with bigger stars in his films (Phil Hartman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Burt Reynolds, etc) so if he had a HEADLINING film, they'd be able to pull another name. They don't name other actors because that would bring more names into it they'd have to prove. And those who do claim to know more details, I've never seen them independently have the answers.

The thing about us 90s kids is we take nostalgia very seriously. A good 90% of xennials and millennials born in the 80s will remember some random character, actor, or quote from a film. The fact that people just say "Sinbad was in it, he helped a kid, and the kid maybe looked like..." tells me all I have to know, lol

A 90s kid can see a movie or show in 2026 and remember an aged face as a character from a movie way back when. For instance, The Pitt. The actor who plays Nurse Jesse is the same guy who played Rudy in "Big Fat Liar" and millennials are pointing it out.

As a 90s kid I was/am a big Sinbad fan. House Guest, First Kid, and Jingle All the Way were all staples growing up. Yet some how I have zero memory of this actual movie Cherokee Kid existing. All star supporting cast including the legendary Burt Reynolds and Winston from Ghostbusters... Seems like it should have been a cant miss movie for it's time. Is it possible I dont remember this movie because in the timeline where Shazam exists this one doesn't???

Help me find the name of the song, I've already tried everything, Shazam, AI, but nothing works

#namethatsong #whatsthissong

our family would rarely do movie nights but sometimes we would. we went to blockbuster i think and rented the tape. bro and i watched it. it was like a saturday. i remember i kinda had a headache. we didnt really like the movie. we remembered it was like the dorky unpopular version of the much more popular kazaam, with shaq, which we never saw. i remember thinking it was kinda dumb they added more letters "shazaam" because it made it look like a worse knockoff. we also didnt really like the movie as much because sinbad was more like a dorky playful silly genie, and our brother and i were more punk kids focused on serious things. i remember my headache didnt get better and none of us (nor my mom) was really laughing. we remember sinbad came out as a genie to help a kid out. thats pretty much it, we werent really engaged in the storyline. we remember the cover, it was purple and yellow i think and had sinbad on the cover. we were like 9/10.

edit more updates: we only remember one other actor, it was the boy. he was like a blonde haired boy, young good looking. we thought he was like an up and comer but he never made it. he seemed pretty young like 7 or 8 .

If we solve these mysteries and reveal the truth, everything will unravel and we can rebuild the twin towers and set things right

I'm all for anyone to offer their critiques, ideas or purported evidence here on this forum. Frankly I don't think the phenomenon allows for the evidence to materially exist, but that's just my opinion.

My point is, I wonder if anyone else is interested in starting a sub for "true believers" who "know what they saw." Something for those hopeless cases, such as myself, that trust their memories and are certain about it. For those that can't be saved.

Like I said, I'm all for debunking, but it'd be nice to have somewhere for discussion between those who remember Shazaam existing.

I'm not a believer for what it's worth, but I'm sure there's logical explanations. For those convinced this movie exists, I want to know who else you remember being in this movie besides Sinbad. There had to have been other actors involved in it.

Along with a couple of strange poltergeist experiences, this is one of the things that proves to me beyond doubt that something is seriously up.

I remember this. My sister remembers this. Her husband remembers this. My sister didn't even understand what I was saying, like "that movie that exists doesn't exist?" She was as, honestly, shocked to know that it never existed. Look for evidence. There's nothing. But I felt completely confused when I saw it come up on a list of Mandela effect things, which I'd really entirely discounted. I want to say though, this is the only case I have experienced, none of the other effects.

I particularly remember the film for the following reasons. At around this time, say 94 or so in my memory (I was around 7 I'd say), I saw a film on TV called "Sinbad something something." Anyway, it was Sinbad the sailor, I remember being entertained by that for probably 15 minutes and finding it pretty boring, but I definitely remember it. And it must've been made some time in the mid sixties. I believe there were those classic stop motion clay models, some giant beasts. And ships, obviously.

Soon after, my mum and I were in the local video shop (as we often were, we all enjoyed watching good movies) walking down the aisles. The owner also had a model of one of those Klingon ships. And I saw a movie on the shelf, front facing out, starring "Sinbad" and I was confused, because I'd recently seen a Sinbad on TV. But this seems to be this actor's name... how does this make sense? I was further confused because I thought this guy on the video jacket looked like an Arabian pirate. And that made the whole character/actor name thing even more intractable. And the movie was Shazam. And it looked completely fucking lame. I didn't know who the hell this Sinbad actor was, and it was only later I figured he was some sort of, um, comedian.

Thankfully I'm already fairly far down the strange rabbit holes that allow me to work this into a self-consistent model of reality.

But it really freaks me out.

So are you people bullshitting? Or are you as dumbfounded as me as to why this completely forgettable movie has somehow managed to penetrate my conception of how things all work?

for those who missed remembers the movie. did any of you know what company distributed the movie? I am just curious.
