limelemonrocks The Brave Little Toaster is a film I loved when I was younger but now, it's just average. This movie is about five appliances, a toaster, a vacuum, a radio, a lamp, and a blanket who go into the city to find they're master because when he was younger, he wasn't taking care of his appliances. Willard Carol was the producer of The Brave Little Toaster, and the creator for Oz Kids believe it or not. This movie had some greta voice cast like Jon Lovitz, Thrul Ravenscott, and Phil Hartman. I found this film to be very funny at times, and it's also a little scary at parts. One of the reasons I only five this 6 out of 10 stars is this film wasn't as good as The Lion King. I guess The Lion King is better because, it has a better story, songs, characters, animation, and it's more popular. Decent film, not bad or great either.

Meaghan Edwards Pardon the pun ;) I loved The Brave Little Toaster as a child and no doubt I watched it repeatedly, and it's a true classic piece of nostalgia for many.Even at the tender age of six, I thought the concept behind dated electronics being the main characters was a incredibly creative idea. There was no snazzy CGI effects, and there was no need for any. The story was so brilliantly told in it's more simple animation style and strong writing.Don't let the fact that it this is an animated, non-anime movie at that fool you. There are indeed darker scenes in movie, including one in the beginning of the movie that still managed to make me shiver. Watching it again at the age of 27, I have to say I enjoyed it every much as I did all those years ago, if not more so.Would I recommend The Brave Little Toaster? To say yes would be an understatement!

Electrified_Voltage I remember seeing this 1987 animated feature many times during my childhood in the 1990's, and it was definitely a unique experience! I saw a good bunch animated Disney flicks as a kid, from different eras, and I would say "The Brave Little Toaster" is by far the least Disney-like of them all! However, I guess it isn't really a Disney flick. It was released by Walt Disney Pictures, but was produced by Hyperion Pictures. Obviously, that explains a lot. Anyway, sometime within the past four years or so, I watched it for the first time probably since the 90's, and finally, once again last night. Like a number of films that were actually produced by Disney, this Hyperion Pictures production is a decent family adventure that has held up well for me in recent years.In a rural cottage, a group of living, anthropomorphic appliances reside: Toaster, an electric blanket named Blanky, a lamp named Lampy, Radio, and a vacuum cleaner named Kirby. They used to see their "master," a young boy named Rob, every summer when he came to the cottage with his family on vacation, but they haven't seen him in a while. They wonder if he will ever come back to this house in the woods, or if they've been abandoned. When they see a for sale sign put up in front of the house, the Toaster decides to lead the rest of the appliances on a journey to find their "master." After getting the reluctant Kirby to agree to come along, and a bit of a struggle to find means of transportation, the five of them set off on a trek through the country to the city where Rob lives. Their journey does not turn out to be easy, however, as they experience conflict and life-threatening situations on the way! After watching this cartoon again after a long time, there are certain negative aspects I can point out. Some of the voice acting is a little weak, sometimes with Deanna Oliver as Toaster, with lines such as, "It's the blanket," and especially the voice for Blanky (though I'm sure Timothy E. Day, whoever he was/is and whatever happened to him, was just a little kid at the time, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much). I also didn't care much for the part where the cottage air conditioner loses his temper and blows up. However, there's definitely a lot I still like. Most of the voice acting is good, including the voice-overs from two "Saturday Night Live" stars, Jon Lovitz as Radio and the late Phil Hartman as Air Conditioner (an imitation of Jack Nicholson) and the Hanging Lamp in the shop (based on Peter Lorre). There are definitely funny parts as well, often involving the conflict between Lampy and Radio. The part with appliance shop owner Elmo St. Peters can also be funny (it's sad to know that Joe Ranft, the multi-talented man who provided this character's voice, died in a car accident in 2005), and so can some of the characters that appear later in the film. There's some really good animation here as well, plus some good songs, such as "City of Light" and "Worthless", and the characters get into some very interesting situations on their journey.There are lots of popular animated films featuring anthropomorphic animals, but anthropomorphic appliances? This is definitely something unusual and bizarre! I haven't read Thomas M. Disch's book of the same name, which this movie is based on (I never even knew it was based on a book until just before my most recent viewing), but I'm sure it's very similar. "The Brave Little Toaster" is probably not quite what you would usually expect from an animated family adventure movie. It has a rather strange, eerie feel to it, which I found when I was a kid and still find now, even though it has never really scared me. Mind you, there are parts that could scare little kids, such as Toaster's nightmare with the evil clown. I feel I should warn parents about that. Nonetheless, despite its moments of horror, this movie clearly has entertained many kids over the years, and can probably appeal to many adults as well, even if the idea of anthropomorphic appliances sounds childish.

Creatureboydan I watched this movie for years as a child and really enjoyed it, it is my favorite movie of all time. I just finished my first year of college and I was thinking about this movie the other day and went down and found it with my old tapes. I watched it last night and I must say: it still holds the same magic that it did when I was little! I love the values/morals it gives, that are still relevant in my life such as friendship, loyalty and accepting of others. I think that a lot of people could do themselves a favor and watch this movie and remember where our values came from. At almost 20 years old I am not ashamed to say that this is my favorite movie of all time. I've read some other reviews that talk about how the animation is 'off', but I don't care. This is one of the 'old school' movies along with all its preceding films. Sure the new Disney-Pixar films are nice with the computer stuff but this is where the true films are. This is one film I am glad I watched again and plan on watching it sometime soon again. I remember watching this as a child and wondering if the appliances DO come to life when we are not around. This is a truly remarkable movie both for the quality of the message it gives, the great cast, and its destiny to become a classic that I plan on watching with my children (when that time comes). It's a great movie and I still laugh at its jokes and play between the characters (all of them!). In short, I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!
