Caine’s Arcade is a short film about a 9 year old boy’s cardboard arcade, located in his dad’s used auto parts store in East LA.

COST to PLAY Caine's Arcade: $1 = 4 Turns $2 Fun Pass = 500 Turns (much better value*)

Heart warming stuff..

you're out of the shopping cart biz?

great story, gives you hope for humanity when you see things like this

No, that will always be source of income. It's steady work. 50-70 bucks a week. It pays the bills.

But the BBQ bizz is where I can make a big score. It's not as steady, but if I get the right order, I can make 100-150 bucks in an evening, for a nice used grill.

Yes wouldn't it great if a CNN or FOX did a 10 min feature on this, rather than which politician lied today, or what section of sand we bombed.

What a genius using the calculators as security.

11 minutes well spent watching that. Usually youtube vids are a waste of time but this was great

Incubus · Apr 12, 2012

Excellent video!

The see this young man's face light up the actual moment when he saw ALL these people had come for HIS arcade.

Awesome "good feeling" story for sure!

Holy shit, they've raised over $100k for the kid for engineering school, in three days.

Probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. Makes you feel good that there are still people out there willing to show up just to make this kids day, and makes you feel great that their are kids out there like this. Just an amazing video.

I imagine that this kid will go onto to do great things if he continues to keep up that work ethic and infectious "can-do" attitude. Wish nothing but the best for the little man.
