TUTTLE TWINS: THE INFLATION MONSTER

Short narratives

Director: Tyler Stevens

Length: 26 minutes

Ethan and Emily Tuttle have their eyes set on a big carnival prize when prices mysteriously start to climb. They discover that Karinne has been printing extra carnival tickets and pumping them into the system. Grandma Gabby takes them on her time-traveling wheelchair to enlist the help of Milton Friedman to teach them what happens when governments meddle with money. They visit ancient Rome, the Federal Reserve, and even hyperinflated Zimbabwe where they see the inflation monster at work. Finally, they rush back home to try to save the carnival. Warning: Your 6-year-old may know more about inflation than members of Congress do after watching this episode!
