Will a ‘Wicked’ fan please explain what is going on in Google’s new Pixel a

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Google’s been doing “Wicked” media tie-ins since the arrival of the first movie.
• With the second about to come out, we just got a “Wicked” theme in the new Pixel Drop.
• Now that’s being joined by the latest #BestPhonesForever animated video.

Google knows that smartphones don’t exist in a world by themselves, and over the years the company’s shown its willingness to promote both Android itself and Pixel devices with the help of some timely media tie-ins. Maybe that means showing off its AR tech with some help from The Mandalorian, or using the cameras on Pixel phones to record the highlights from the NBA All-Star Weekend. Right now, Google is all about the new “Wicked” movie, coming to theaters this Friday, and its latest promotional effort is a profoundly weird Pixel animation.
