I had pretty much the same reaction — I was actually hoping a little bit to be able to finish the article, run my own queries through Google, have them come up empty, and get a small taste of the supernatural. But nope, Kazaam is a perfect fit. I had remembered Shaq being in it from the beginning too, and was starting to think that my memory was a a bit faulty. I would have also guessed "Berenstein", but to be fair, I barely knew how to spell when I read through those books.

I didn't know about the Berenstain alternate universe until long after it was a thing, and I this was my first reaction as well. I never really knew how to spell it, and I hadn't see one of those for many years since. I also think it's one of those easily confused suffices: -ein, -ine, -ien, -een, -urg, -erg, etc.
