‘Beanie Bubble’ film bops onto Apple TV+ today

After bowing in select theaters on July 21, Apple Original Films’ “the Beanie Bubble” arrives on Apple TV+ today.

The true-life dramedy starts Zach Galifianakis (“Baskets”), Elizabeth Banks (“Call Jane”), Sarah Snook (“Succession”) and Geraldine Viswanathan (“Cat Person”). The film marks the feature directorial debut of Emmy nominee Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash, Jr.

About ‘The Beanie Bubble’

Here’s the description of the movie: The film is inspired by the story behind one of the biggest speculative crazes that blazed through American culture in the 1990s. It pulls back the curtain on the absurdities and injustices of the American Dream — particularly the female relationship to it. It’s a celebration of the women who helped power Ty Warner’s success, whose strengths and good instincts shaped and amplified the phenomenon, but whose names are not on the Beanie Babies’ heart-shaped tags.

The script is based on the book, “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute.” In addition to starring, Galifianakis serves as executive producer.
