Apple TV The Beanie Bubble

[MoeW]

Why did the world suddenly treat stuffed animals like gold? Ty Warner was a frustrated toy salesman until his collaboration with three women grew his masterstroke of an idea into the biggest toy craze in history. “The Beanie Bubble” is an inventive story about what and who we value, and the unsung heroes whose names didn't appear on the heart-shaped tag.

I love a success story especially if a person or people turn an idea into billions. Zach Galifianakis is nearly unrecognizable as real-life toy titan H. Ty Warner, Co creator of the Beanie Babies. He turns in a great performance along with Elizabeth Banks,Sarah Snook and Geraldine Viswanathan.
It was great to watch the build up with what would become a craze for kids and collectors and the quirkiness of Ty as he romances a couple of the ladies and puts his foot down about where he thought the company should go. When the movie reaches its last 30 minutes it leans more towards a path of agenda, slapstick and farce. Still a charming and interesting watch.
