A kid gets a million dollars and buys a mansion.
 
In 2038, a million dollars buys six months of carbon credits and a used drone.
 
This tape confused me. It’s about a boy who accidentally gets a blank check, fills it out for $1,000,000, and lives every childhood dream money could buy — at least in 1994. My father labeled this Artifact 0016 and taped a sticky note to the inside:
 
“This is how my generation thought wealth would feel.”
 
Watching it now, it plays like a comedy — but also a cautionary tale. Preston had the money, but not the maturity. The stuff, but not the soul. And maybe that’s what this tape was supposed to teach: that without connection, abundance becomes isolation.

1994 Disney VHS copy in white clamshell case
My father's original post-it note
 
This isn’t a kid’s movie. It’s an outdated operating system for desire.
