TL;DR Summary

The Beanie Baby nostalgia boom is in full swing, with documentaries, TV adaptations, and renewed interest in the once-popular plush toys. Millennials, who were avid collectors in the 90s, are now revisiting their childhood fascination with Beanie Babies. The rise and fall of Beanie Babies, chronicled in Zac Bissonnette's book "The Great Beanie Baby Bubble," is being explored in various media formats. The renewed interest can be attributed to a combination of millennials seeking nostalgia, increased attention to cultural inequities, and the cyclical nature of nostalgia cycles. Despite the renewed attention, Beanie Babies are not expected to make a significant comeback in the market.
