⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Beanie Bubble is a step back into the 1990s and the obsession around the Beanie Baby craziness. Given that I was a child in the 90s it was certainly a fun journey to head back and find out more behind those little Beanie Babies I used to collect, and yes we bought the Princess Diana one and paid a ridiculous amount of money for it.
Ty Warner was a very unique individual shown in this film, his love for making toys and then wanting people to be happy with them. Although his actual social skills towards people in his life was another story. We get to see this as he appears to use each person that attempts to get close to him, and in particular the women.
This is one of those films that take you back to a different time and place that you have actually lived through, it was at that moment where I realised that I am now rather old. I had been so used to seeing films where I had only heard about different events, but now I am well and truly watching so many stories of things I have lived through and even been part of.
I don’t think anything will ever come close again to the craze over the Beanie Babies, the supply and demand by retiring them was a genius idea to drive up the sell on price when you could not longer easily buy it in a shop. I can still remember when and where I bought my first Beanie Baby in 1998 and it was on a class trip to York, Mel the Koala Bear.
Zach Galifianakis is good in the awkward role of Ty Warner and does it in a good enough manner. Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook and Geraldine Viswanathan are all given the better parts really, as it does try to show just how much the women hand a role in the Ty company.
