In the 1990s, the Beanie Babies craze took the world by storm. Collectors everywhere wanted to own these plush animals, making them incredibly popular. However, like all crazes, it eventually faded away. Now, co-directors Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash are bringing us a new feature called “The Beanie Bubble.” This film will chronicle the rise and fall of the consumer craze surrounding these beloved toys. Total Films has released the first image from the movie, and it’s sure to make anyone nostalgic for their own Beanie Baby collection.
The image showcases Zach Galifianakis as the billionaire toy creator Ty Warner, and Elizabeth Banks as Robbie, the woman in his life. The actors look perfectly suited for the 90s setting, surrounded by a plethora of favorite toys from that era. With its blue and pink color scheme and toy craze premise, “The Beanie Bubble” might just give Barbie a run for her money. Overall, this movie promises to be an intriguing and character-driven story.
What’s “The Beanie Bubble” About?
“The Beanie Bubble” is based on Zac Bissonnette’s 2015 book, “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute.” This comedy-drama will explore the extraordinary craze of the 90s through the eyes of eccentric college dropout Warner, who becomes a billionaire in just three years with his idea, without the help of advertising or big-box distribution. The book vividly depicts the abrupt end of the craze, with “rare” Beanie Babies going from being deemed priceless to worthless in no time.
The author conducted numerous interviews, including one with a man who lives with his 40,000 Beanie Babies and another with a person who killed a coworker over a Beanie Baby debt while in prison. It remains to be seen how Gore and Kulash will incorporate these elements into the toy-based movie. Gore comments on the upcoming film, stating, “When you really look at the female relationship to the American Dream, it’s much more fraught and dark,” and adds, “[w]e wanted to show that pattern. We just didn’t expect it to come to us in this book about Beanie Babies!”
Regarding the actual toys used in the movie, Banks reveals, “They had to create all the Beanie Babies for the film. We were able to use the Ty tags, but not any of the intellectual property.” Alongside Galifianakis and Banks, the cast includes Sarah Snook, Geraldine Viswanathan, Kurt Yaeger, Tracey Bonner, and Carl Clemons-Hopkins.
“The Beanie Bubble” will be available on Apple TV Plus on July 28. Be sure to check out Collider’s interview with Elizabeth Banks for her upcoming film “Cocaine Bear” below:
