Your worst Tinder date’s favorite film studio, A24, is auctioning off props from Everything Everywhere All At Once, and boy howdy, are there a lot of hits!
For the uninitiated, Everything Everywhere All At Once is a tribute to many things: everything bagels, the intricacies of the Asian American experience, the multiverse, the inevitability of both death and taxes, and most importantly, the strength of a mother’s love. The film was directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, and their specific aesthetic made for some particularly visually compelling set dressing.
The multiverse, as seen through the lens of an arthouse film studio, is less glossy and soulless than Marvel’s most recent iteration, Spiderman: No Way Home, and is reflective of the Daniels’ exacting vision, which includes but is not limited to Jamie Lee Curtis with hot dogs for fingers and an alternate version of Disney’s Ratatouille featuring a raccoon instead of an earnest rat with a refined palate. Truthfully, inhabiting the worlds that Daniels created for this movie would be a very stressful lived experience, but that doesn't mean that the objects that populated their multiverse have to be.
The proceeds from the auction benefit various charities, including the Asian Mental Health Project and Laundry Workers Center, which works to improve the lives of workers in the laundry, warehouse and food-service industries in New York and New Jersey. The auction runs through March 6, which leaves plenty of time to make room for any of the items we’ve selected, below.
It’s safe to say that Ratatouille would’ve been a much better movie if it had actually been called Racacoonie and was set in a teppanyaki restaurant. However, if you’re sitting on $90,000 and have a sense of humor about your surroundings, the original (and only) Raccoonie can be yours!
Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) and her daughter, Joy (Stephane Hsu) have a complicated relationship! If you have a complicated relationship with your mother and would rather communicate how that makes you feel via props rather than words, this is a great start.
