Tony
Posted on 10/30/2008 by Kathy McManus
Tony is executive produced by Grant Heslov and George Clooney. Actor Tate Donovan stars as Michael, a relentlessly responsible father. But the Tony at issue isn’t his son. It’s his son’s teddy bear. Or more vexingly, his 6-year-old son’s lost teddy bear. And therein lies the crisis, the challenge, and the question: Can you ever be too responsible? Read full article

Single dad, now a grandpa
Single dad, now a grandpa and living with friends of 1 year old boy with heart defect. I can’t believe cabby or cop. Sappy, sure, but a world I’d rather live in.

I thought that is was a film that was more of the little things that we do for each other when the time comes up. We all have the choice to help or not and these few had a heart in the film. I really thought if people were like this more often instead of all about themselves the earth would be in a better place. Plus kids always move on once distracted so it didn’t surprise me that he said cool and hung up the phone cause that what kids do. I say job well done!!

Very moving film. I have a 5-year-old daughter. She is my whole world. It made me feel like I’m not the only one who would crawl to the end of the earth just to put a smile on her face. Thank you.

The garbage that our world has become
I can only see how we have shaped our world to be: a giant dust bin. Are we proud of that!

A very touching film! I’m so glad that I took the few minutes to see the film. All Dad’s can relate to this story. Thanks for bringing this to Yahoo.

Interesting how extreme some of the negative comments were as well as the positive comments. I respect all the comments I read. My comment is that a loss of any kind to a child is magnified, yes even a teddy bear named Tony. However, the child excepted that Tony was gone in fact, the father realized this after he found Tony. Interesting. Parenting is complex. Honesty is also a virtue when dealing with a loss to a child. Grieving is a process that a child is taught by example or experienced from the parent or caretaker. I would have liked to have seen the parents allow the child speak about Tony that night they returned home. Instead they made it known that it was unacceptable for Tony to be missing. No one asked the child how he was feeling about not having Tony. The father basically took control and made it sound like a promise that Tony would be found. The father went to extreme measures (and $$) to locate Tony. Bravo for his effort, but did the father really feel victory at the end of his conversation with his child? I wonder, if the father after what he just went through would have handled the missing bear in the same manner?

What wonderful short film. A small community of people jumping in to help a young boy.

It seems to be a problem play. The child’s sickness may be the first problem. Then Tony is lost. The hospital authorities point out the third problem. Tony has been thrown into the garbage truck. Then driver faces the lucky problem. The garbage man refuses to help them at the critical moment. Later on they are forced to search the teddy bear just within limited time. Then people find the teddy bear but unfortunately it’s not Tony. Then time problem occurs. Finally Tony is discovered but in the meantime the child loses interest in the teddy bear. The short but very effective movie shows the strong emotions, feelings and passion of the people who may have come from the different parts of the world and settled in America. The movie also throws light on the American culture and points out the psychological problems of American parents and the people belonging to different cultures and societies.
