Bankrupt By Beanies

[Bernurban]

That's a good documentary. I'll buy one! Lol!

[EnlightenmentANAVRIN]

Man as far as I ever went with beanie babies was to try and collect all the cats from the mid to late 90's. And then basically some of the reptiles and stuff like alligators, komodo dragons, and actual dragons. I have sold a bunch or gave them away but I still have at least 80.

[MrAlekz]

my dad used to buy me beanie babies

[JonasPolsky]

The dad sounds a lot like Bryan Cranston.

[natasjaJerjomina]

well i was a kid when i was collection these but i no the feeling you buy one and then a day after you want a new one and there sooo expence i remember like buying one for £25 and i had about 100 and now there just chucked in my loft :P

[jazzplayer9]

Dude they're still worth at least a dollar... you got 20,000? Make $20,000!!

[cems65]

Something so touching about Dr. Rick Webber being such a sweet dad. Very nice job on the film. Best of luck to the whole family.

[Bellinzona1000]

Collect pez dispensers like I use to do! They're cheaper (I think).

[kehya]

Excellent

[ANIMEROCKERGIRL97]

i could buy some :D but not too pricey maybe ten bucks :P

[CollabGiants]

i just made a song about beanie babies maybe that will brind the fad back so you can sell them

[QuintessentiallyChad]

They cannot be serious...... they.. cannot.. be serious. Please tell me that this is a joke..... someone please tell me their kidding..... this is just depressing if it isn't. Well seeing that it's in the comedy category, makes me feel a little better (either that or it's just so idiotic that it's funny).

[AdamKennnedy]

Very good documentary short—could have benefited from the usage of music

[Wolfman12395]

I spent my money on Beanie Babies just to collect them, though I did end up selling a few that I actually did make a profit on. The ones I still have though I'll definitely pass down to my family in the future.

[CollabGiants]

that sucks i just wrote a rap song about beanie babies coming back

[TheResidentEvil0]

OMG. I wasn't his COLLECTION! I collected Beanie Babies for the fun of it. I intend to keep all mine and pass them down the generations as a family kids toy. My kids will play with them, their kids will play with them, et cetera.

[badCowfish]

Good editing, you got the timing perfect.

[BlackAngusYoung]

Well done. Maybe your dad shouldn't have spent all the family's money on toy stuffed animals... but he seems like a nice guy. It'll always be entertaining to talk about growing up with a dad who has a beanie problem.

[ThelemicPotter]

sad how delusional they all remain after all this time...

[cocks308]

I suppose some people just piss this amount away on cars or booze anyway.

[curlytoes79]

Your mom is Teri Garr!

[ame6603]

"Beanie Joint" lol

My neighbors use to drive nine hours, to another state for Beanies, then back home again.

[skyguy351]

No offense but ur dad was bonkers... But I like the video and beanie babies

[crissray]

I like your mom's sense of humor. Good documentary.

[ReiGrim]

I'm gonna stop buying Transformers toys right now, but after I buy the toys from the third movie :)))))

[arsdag81]

one of the best unintentional comedies ever.

[annieoakely]

well at you least you still went to college.

[6enhoj6]

That was a good documentary or mock-umentary! The editing was superb and the contrast in styles between the charaters as they each spoke about the same things was refreshing. The candor of the people concerning the subject was enlightening in that they weren't talking to the "camera" but rather it was about the relationship between interviewer and subject. This video demonstrates the interview as a magnification of that relationship. Bravo!

[MeekoLily]

This is firetrucking sad :(

[seinormexicano]

This is depressingly hilarious.

[baller111385]

This is a real good video

[MsButterfli]

wow i have about 150+ id love to try n sell to get rid of lol

[MaxBearguy1]

i still collect them, but only the ones before 2000

[manualidadesfrutosa7]

I Also have about 200 and plan to sell them someday.........;)

[mollybellswallow]

I think you should open a museum Id pay to see them all under one roof . I had the first 6 sold them too cheep to buy a bed for my child :(

[HuckMeHard]

That is really fucking sad.

[banditomonco]

This was amaaaaaaaaaazing! I hope you got to go to college >.>

[collbearorlando]

I can completely emphasize ! I started collecting the bears in the late 90's. Still have them all too. I cringe to think of the money spent, but thats the only thing I regret. The 'thrill of the hunt' , beanie fairs at weekends, cataloguing, finding rarities at good prices ( it did happen sometimes), it was all obsessing - but it was fantastic fun too, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

[deanguy66]

Wow, his ties in directly to a song I wrote for my first CD, Songs About Stuff. The song is called Beer cans and Beanie Babies.

[littlemissy54]

Interesting movie. I remember when they first came out. Kids were crazy for them. I even collected some.

[azsummergirl]

This is great.
