Cool cartoon with some cute animations. This cartoon details the process of aplying for your stock to be on the New York Stock Exchange. For the most part it's pretty good and I'd assume acurate (I learned stuff here I never knew befoe) the only problem with this film is it treats the New York Stock Exchange as the only Stock Exchange in town, not even hinting that thier are other Exchanges out thier. (though in it's defense at the time the film was produced I imagined the NYSE was the "be all end all" stock exchange availabele,and I'm not even sure if others existed at the time.) Overall…

A rather optimistic view of the Stock Market, in a film from the New York Stock Exchange no less, that tells about how a business can incorporate and start selling stocks. Although this is a great overview, its waay too simplified and pat, and theres a lot of basic business sense missing from this movie. Not that it suffers, as this is an animated piece from the Jerry Sutherland studio so the animation is great, and theres a lot of cute humor in it as well. (Check out the examination the NYSE does on future stock companies).
