Ty Warner, the reclusive billionaire who founded Beanie Babies, breaks his silence in the wake of the harsh portrayal of the mogul in the recent movie, “The Beanie Bubble.” Warner, who has not done a media interview since the 1990s, takes issue with how he was depicted and wishes a more handsome actor than Zach Galifianakis was cast to play him. The film credits former workers — based on Patricia Roche and Lina Trivedi — for fueling the craze for the plush toy.The Post: What would you like people to know about you?Warner: I think several adjectives apply: Creative, collaborative, competitive, critical, analytical, disciplined, focused, perfectionist, driven, caring, kind, sincere.

How similar is it to what was shown in the movie?Warner: It was nothing like the movie – not remotely. I envisioned a product that kids could afford with their allowance money.

While it’s not exactly “The Beanie Bubble’s” fault that it’s being released at the tail-end of a film cycle that has seen every inch of corporatized IP mined for stories about the wonders (or horrors) of capitalism — “Air,” “Blackberry,” “Tetris,” and even “Flamin’ Hot” come to mind, all with varying degrees of success — it’s also fitting that such a historical footnote would be last out of the gate.

Zach Galifianakis is taking on the role of Beanie Baby creator Ty Warner in the upcoming film “The Beanie Bubble”, but in real life, the actor thinks billionaires are pretty “bizarre.”

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor OK Go has shared the new track “This,” from the Apple Original Film “The Beanie Bubble.” The band’s lead singer and guitarist Damian Kulash co-directed the film with his wife Kristin Gore, who also wrote the screenplay. According to Kulash, the idea for the song, filled with exuberant guitars and horns, was in the script: “The term said, ‘We close to unbelievably joyful music.” The film debuts theaters on limited release on July 21 before streaming on AppleTV+ on July 28. It stars Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook and Geraldine Viswanathan and follows the story of the Beanie Baby phenomenon.

It is probably no accident that Apple has chosen this week to launch its own legendary toy biopic, The Beanie Bubble, in the shadow of Warner Bros. about-to-be blockbuster Barbie. It can only benefit from the obvious connections and themes of female empowerment bubbling under the surface of both.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Dig deep enough through the eBay auction site, and you can still find Beanie Babies listed for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nobody’s buying them at that price, but it’s a reminder that there was a moment in the not-so-distant past when the cheaply made stuffed animals fetched outrageous sums. The phenomenon, while it lasted, was fueled largely by the illusion of scarcity, as collectors chased what they believed to be limited numbers of the highly coveted critters. Were they really so rare? “The Beanie Bubble” doesn’t have any particularly interesting insights into the craze, focusing instead on their inventor, disgraced self-made toy mogul Ty Warner, portrayed by Zach Galifianakis in one of the discomfort comedian’s most skin-crawling performances to date. Tonally, the movie walks a tricky line between easy-target satire and female-empowering corporate case study, falling into the overcrowded junk-culture nostalgia-porn category so recently represented by “Tetris,” “Air,” “BlackBerry” and “Flamin’ Hot.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director With “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” now playing in theaters and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” on the way, July is shaping up to the biggest month yet for movie theaters this year. Things are a bit quieter on streaming, with no major studio tentpoles making their way to platforms. That’s all the more reason to get out of the house and buy a ticket at the local multiplex.
