Halal Family Movie Night / Inshallah They Find Him

About

Halal Movie Night, also known as Inshallah They Find Him, refers to parodies of a crude clip art style poster that advertised a screening of Finding Nemo 2 as part of "Halal Family Movie Night." The poster, along with the catchphrase "Inshallah they find him" became the subject of edits and parodies after it was first posted in April 2021, subsequently becoming an exploitable meme format.
