Hey Everyone, just wanted to include a few notes about the video: > Schwarz's theme song, "Welcome to our World of Toys", is copyrighted. But if you would like to hear it, check out this link: ua-cam.com/video/UeOAxXPdJag/v-deo.html > Arachnophobes (like myself) may want to look away from 23:13-23:18. It is right after I talk about the dragon. > For all the latest IV3D news-and sometimes amusing ramblings-follow me on TWITTER @ twitter.com/InnoVision3D > And as always, THANK YOU for watching! Your time and continued appreciation really means a lot!
22:28 okay, every time any of these stories mentions “and then they were bought by a private equity firm,” I immediately think “and then they were scavenged like dead meat and had to close and file for bankruptcy.”
This video was great! I’m so glad UA-cam showed me your Rainforest Cafe video back when it first came out. They’ve just gotten better and better and better!
Thank you for this! Amazing job. I visited the store while in NY and didn’t know anything about it before hand but it was the most incredible and interactive store, truly larger than life.
Yet another fascinating dive and a fantastic video 😊 and I loved all the added references/clips! …Except, of course, the dreaded Furbies 😖 (insert Mermaid Man’s cry of “EEEVIIIIIIIL!!”) °o°
I have never heard of this store but it does take me back whenever my family took us to toy stores that let us play. I wonder if kids today get that- not currently, obviously but I’d want kids to go and discover and just play.
It always makes my day when I see you posted a new video! I just know you're going big places, your videos are incredible! I'm always amazed by your editing, quality, and dedication
I went to the one in Orlando when i was about 6. I don't have many memories of it other than posing with some of the tiles on the giant Monopoly board, the giant keyboard and the outside being decorated like it was a giant toy box. We left empty handed because of how expensive everything was but we had a blast. Sadly it couldn't compete with the other tourist areas and it closed by my next visit there. At least the giant toys were still up so I got to get pictures with them.
The glutes those performers had to have to hit the chords on Toccata with their feet! But seriously, another great video. Wild to see such an innovative brand's multiple incarnations over the years.
I still have a plush black and white cat from my local FAO Schwarz-- which if course was located in the "ritzy" mall. I'm going to have to go back and see if the giant teddy bear carved on the pillar outside the store is still there.
Great video, I visited the NYC store in the 90's a couple times, but I'm an arachnophobe so that one part was like YEEEEESH NO. Just a warning to others who may be watching, if they start talking about Harry Potter you may want to look away for a hot minute

The motion design in this video adds so much to the narration.

Incredible video as always!!
Excellent job! I can tell how much work goes into these videos.
so glad i found this channel! phenomenal content
Great stuff, love the editing! Interesting for me as I never even heard about FAO until I was in my twenties.
This was so beautifully done !!!!! thank you
You deserve so many more viewers!
Knocked it out of the park again, mate! (but also I'm just a sucker for a cheeky Muppets Christmas Carol reference)
Can't wait for the next one!
Yet another fascinating dive and a fantastic video 😊 and I loved all the added references/clips! …Except, of course, the dreaded Furbies 😖 (insert Mermaid Man’s cry of “EEEVIIIIIIIL!!”) °o°
They are truly terrifying! 😉
I was in the store at that time and there were GIANT FURBYS in one of the displays. It was...unsettling.
Who would make such a thing?! I had one as a kid that would always make sounds in the middle of the night. It didn’t last long.
Time to bust out the flame thrower and/or holy water!! 😱 °o°

We had one in STL at the galleria. I distinctly remember going there often just to play in there. Man I miss being a kid
I been to a FAO Shwartz in NYC since I was little and It was amazing and nostalgic I got a cool magnetic toy set there. We've been there a few times.
It always makes my day when I see you posted a new video! I just know you're going big places, your videos are incredible! I'm always amazed by your editing, quality, and dedication
Wow! Thank you so much. This episode took a while to make, so I’m glad you enjoyed it so much (and were patient with me). 😉
The BIG Piano Walking piano is credited in the movie BIG to Remo Saraceni! Such a wonderful inventor!

Thank You! And right? There’s another video where they perform Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, and I get tired just watching it.
lol my fave character was the fairy greeter outside the door. as a kid i always thought she really granted wishes
where would toy story be without fao schwarz? Where would so much be without it? Where would I be?
Jenny Nicholson-InnoVision3D crossover with Aragog the spider plush when?
26:17 Good thing the clock is back, this time on a tower again
youtube wasn’t letting me like this. it’s a conspiracy dammit

Nice 🌹
16:40 I translated it for you buddy it stands for Royal Bee hive management.
I mean you’re not wrong (De Bijenkorf means “the beehive”), but the joke was more about pronouncing it...
@@InnoVision3D de buyen korf is how it’s supposed to sound.
Dont think I didnt notice that Hamilton Easter egg you dropped "history was happening in manhattan" "greatest city in the world"
DOES DEFUNCTLAND KNOW ABOUT THIS?
I think FAO is now at Rockefeller Center here in New York City.
Is there more video material of the dino riders display ?
FAO Schwarz is in NYC.
Please bring this store back this is the first toy store in history. Sadly everything is made in china now not made in the usa. Talk about nostalgia
Great video, I visited the NYC store in the 90's a couple times, but I'm an arachnophobe so that one part was like YEEEEESH NO. Just a warning to others who may be watching, if they start talking about Harry Potter you may want to look away for a hot minute
That’s a really good point, I’ll put a warning in the description below. Thank you!
@@InnoVision3D Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I am enjoying your content. I loved the restaurant video.
I think all these toy stores closed because I didn't have kids. Now they reopen because others have them.
