The film is directed by Kristin Gore & Kulash himself and stars Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook, Tracey Bonner and Geraldine Viswanathan. The movie is inspired by by Zac Bissonette’s book The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute tells the story of a frustrated toy salesman who – with the help of three women – grew his masterstroke of an idea into the biggest toy craze in history. Gore also wrote the screenplay. Brian Grazer & Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13) are producing the Imagine Entertainment production with Karen Lunder (Thirteen Lives, Gifted). The Beanie Bubble will be released in select theaters on July 21, 2023 before premiering on July 28 on Apple TV+.
