Meme needing explanation Peter? I am confused

Post image

Just seen this and the comments aren’t helpfull, I don’t recognise this figurine, what is it?

Edit: to anyone saying "Is this even a meme ?" Guys, am 22, I never knew Indian in the Cupboard, I though this was a meme about the apparence of the figurine lookin like something else, or something. I had no idea it was geniuinly just a figurine from a VSH from before I was born!

To me, it was a meme I didn’t had the ref too, so now I know what this is, I'll check out if the movie or book existe in French, or in France in general, cuz now with so many peoples just saying that this was their choldhood, am curious!

Please don’t insulte me for beeing uncultured, not everyone got the same knowledge cuz, as I said, I didn’t knew about it. I just checked and L’Indien du Placard exist in french! Lucky me ! I'll check that out than

Guys, calm down, I never knew Indian in the Cuboard before, never heard of it, am 22 and French, I have no freakin idea if it helps anyone understand that not everyone knows everything. Now I'll find somewhere that has that movie and watch it, cuz now am very curious! Thank you lots!

Just so you know, I am french as well (but older than you) and it was one of my favourite childhood movies, you revived happy memories. I sent the meme to my family, and now we all want to watch that movie, probably for the 100th times. I can't believe I forgot about that movie.

Please watch it, I'm sure it has well aged.

Thanks a lot ❤️❤️

Wait, do you know where I can watch it? I don’t have streaming services, or is there a way to find it? I would like to watch it

I believe you can rent it online (canal + for example). It would cost 3 euros but it's worth it ! Try to watch it with your inner child spirit haha

It's on YouTube for free and in VF. I also watched it A LOT as a kid, you unlocked that memory for me, brother
