Who knew that the release of the Wicked character posters would bring a meme from half a decade ago back into our lives?
On September 22nd, 2018, the music and cinema world was forever changed. For that, friends, was the day “Zendaya is Meechee” was born.
Wicked character posters revive 'Zendaya is Meechee'
Music comedian Gabriel Gundacker sang about the promotional character posters for the animated film Smallfoot.

His initial post received 17,000 retweets, 102,000 likes, and 4.4 million views, sweeping the nation and our hearts. Pretty sure more people saw it than saw Smallfoot.
The meme has taken on a life of its own, as they often do.
