Zendaya is having an incredible year, with multiple high-profile projects under her belt. Among her notable works are 'The Drama' with Robert Pattinson, 'The Odyssey' featuring Matt Damon and Tom Holland, and the upcoming 'Dune: Part 3' set to release this December. However, it's her 2018 animated film 'Smallfoot' that has recently captured the spotlight on Netflix, becoming a streaming hit.

In 'Smallfoot', Zendaya voices Meechee, the daughter of the Yeti village chief, who is fascinated by humans, referred to as 'Smallfoot' in the film. The story takes a twist on the traditional Yeti narrative, as Migo, voiced by Channing Tatum, discovers a human documentary filmmaker, Percy Patterson (James Corden), and brings him back to the hidden Yeti village. The film humorously portrays the Yetis' perspective of humans as ruthless monsters, adding a layer of comedy to the adventure.

Despite being a footnote in Zendaya’s extensive filmography, 'Smallfoot' achieved a box office gross of $214 million against an $80 million budget, earning a 76 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its resurgence on Netflix is noteworthy, as it has recently entered the Top 10 Kids Movies and even broke into the overall Top Ten, right behind 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', another film featuring Zendaya.

The upbeat and positive nature of 'Smallfoot' makes it an ideal choice for family movie nights, especially for parents looking to avoid overplayed films like 'The Boss Baby'. The film's light-hearted humor and vibrant animation are appealing, and it offers a fun experience for both kids and adults. The renewed interest in 'Smallfoot' reflects Zendaya’s strong presence in the entertainment industry this year, making it hard to escape her influence.

As 'Smallfoot' continues to climb the Netflix charts, it serves as a reminder of Zendaya's versatility as an actress and her ability to engage audiences across various genres.
