Interview Tim Walsh, an author and game designer who is the subject of the new documentary film,
Toyland. Throughout
Toyland director Ken Sons follows Tim as he tries to take his new game invention to market. From paper to prototype, we follow Tim along his winding road to Toy Fair, Hasbro and back. Will his toy light up the imagination of kids everywhere or never see the light of day? Along the way, you'll meet the people behind the biggest playthings in history, including Betty James, developer of Slinky, Eddy Goldfarb (False Chattering Teeth), Burt Meyer (Lite Brite and Mouse Trap), Reyn Guyer (Twister and Nerf), and more.
Tim is also a Creative Consultant on the film which is loosely based on his book,
Timless Toys. He is a frequent speaker on toys and game because of his success in the field of fun. His game
Blurt! has sold over 1 million copies. Tim has appeared on many national TV and radio programs, including
The Early Show, NPR?s
All Things Considered, and
The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch among others. His inventions have been featured on
Good Morning America, and written about in
The New York Times.
