While this documentary of sorts definitely is a niche for the nerds, the collectors and us who actually did grow up with the toys - children of the 1970s and 1980s - then there was a lot of nostalgia here.
It was fun to learn about the companies such as Kenner, Hasbro and Mattel, and get to hear about their ideas concepts, ups and downs, successes and failures, and so forth.
It was overwhelming with the sheer amount of information that I had to absorb as I sat down to watch "The Toys That Made Us". But for an old nerd like me it was most definitely worth it.
This is a great combination of footage from the vintage toy days and combined with footage of how things are today.
