Funko Documentary Making Fun: The Story of Funko Coming to Netflix
May 18, 2018
Making Fun: The Story of Funko, the documentary about the toy company Funko, is coming to Netflix on May 24.
From the documentary's website:
The idea for the documentary came about as the filmmakers became aware of the worldwide phenom that is Funko. Born in a garage, grown to every corner of the world.
For the past 20 years, a “feeling” has been growing around this company, connected by toys, but rooted in fun, friendship and love. 2018 marks the perfect convergence of a milestone anniversary, pop culture peak awareness and global fan interaction.
This is not a “how to” for the business-minded. Neither is this a Funko commercial or fan tribute. This is an exploration of how pop culture has permeated all aspects of life, globally, through collectibles.
This is a two year study of the past 20 years of caring and sharing. Making friendships, making memories, making toys. Making fun.
The documentary features cameos from Kevin Smith, Tony Hawk, Jason David Frank, Robert Englund, Sam J. Jones and more.
The film recently won the Best Documentary Feature Film by the San Diego Film Awards.
