A loving look at the man behind some of the world's greatest toys

Eddy's World is a lovely, inspiring and uplifting short film - in its short run time it manages to both inform and delight and leave you with Eddy Goldfarb's simple but poignant life philosophy ringing in your ears: "tomorrow is going to be a big day".

This isn't a cloying or mawkish film, though. Eddy just has a quiet way of winning you over. At 98, as a man who has dedicated his life to his craft of toy-making, his continued curiosity and enthusiasm is infectious. We get a brief highlight reel of some of his most famous creations - chattering teeth, Kerplunk!, Stomper trucks - but the film is more interested in taking a look at what makes a man responsible for such inventions tick.

This film is full of love: Eddy's love of life, and director's love for her subject, her father. See it, it's a joy.
