  Review by Vinny Thornburg ★★★★ 2

  So... It's back to that stupid static again. You think I don't know what's going on in here? I know what goes on in this cottage. It's a conspiracy and every one of you low-watts is in on it. Just 'cause you move around, you think you're better than I am. I'm not an invalid. I was designed to stick in the wall! I like being stuck in the stupid wall! I can't help it if the kid was too short to reach my dials...

  IT'S MY FUNCTION!

  Review by Sally Jane Black 11

  Van Dyke Parks is most known to me as one of the songwriters on Smile, so I more or less knew the music in this would have certain qualities--focus on mundane details, theatrical flourishes, pop sensibilities, a bleak sense of humor mixed with a strange kind of innocence--but what I did not expect was a song in which broken down cars sang about what they did in "life" as they are crushed to death. The music is a match note for note with the tone and the content of the film, which takes the most mundane of objects and infuses them inexplicably with life and personality. This is based on a book, and I am very curious about the book.…

  25 Favorite Horror Films: boxd.it/1Sdga

  I watched this because my spouse watched this as a child and wanted to see it again, so.....

  WARNING: This movie has the potential to ruin your damn life. A group of 5 appliances is left behind during a move by "the Master" and they leave their home to find him. There are multiple graphic murders, mamings, and honor suicides paired with singing and dancing. This is the tree whose branches went on to create Toy Story but also films like Sausage Party.

  Why do this to children hahaha? Make them feel like anything thrown out of the house lives a tortured, miserable life? Underneath it all is a…

  Review by Anthony Niduaza ★★★★★

  Not even an army of Pixar films can match the pathos and humanity that permeates throughout this film. Without a doubt and with no irony will I say that The Brave Little Toaster is one of the greatest animated movies ever made.

  
  Edit: whenever someone mentions an Iron Giant, I feel compelled to rebuff with a Brave Little Toaster. But I will concede, it’s a nice double feature nonetheless.

  Poor lamp. Poor vacuum. Poor radio. The toaster gets title rights, and all because of one heroic act in the finale?

  Please.

  They all deserve medals for, you know, not dying during their journey to the big city. It ain't easy being an appliance, you know.

  Review by 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕞 (𝕃𝕖𝕠) 𝕧𝕒𝕟 𝕕𝕖𝕣 ℤ𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕟 ★★★★ 3

  I think it's safe to say that neither the book or the film adaptation of The Brave Little Toaster was meant to be for kids. This is a story that is thought up by adults and carries themes that are heavier than any kid could reasonably understand. Yet I still believe this is something that needs to be seen by kids and adults alike, most of all because it will scare both of them to death.

  Surely kids will crawl under the couch when they just see the imagery. In a story of household appliances looking for their original owner, a scene featuring an air conditioner blowing himself up, committing suicide is only one of many horrors that hits the…

  Yo, it’s pretty much a perfect movie (and one of my faves as a kid) -

  - Sucker punching you in the feels over inanimate objects years before Toy Story

  - Songs by Van Dyke Parks, who is physically incapable of writing normal music so even the first very standard “Off To See The Wizard”-type song is kind of weird, and every song after it is clinically insane (& surprisingly disco for 1987)

  - All the voice work is incredible, and done mostly by unknowns except for a very annoying Jon Lovitz as The Radio and Phil Hartman as Jack Nicholson as the AC wall unit lmaooo

  I either forgot or never realized that most everyone in this movie is an asshole.

  That song towards the end where all the old car wrecks head towards the garbage compactor is some kind of dark masterpiece.

  Film Genre Challenge for March: Pre-2000s Animation #4

  Wait a minute... so this film follows the same plot of all the three Toy Story films? What the...?

  Sentient inanimate objects got so jealous at the new sentient inanimate objects in the house to the point that they want to get rid of them? Check.

  Our sentient inanimate objects got taken away by some fat collector? Check.

  These sentient inanimate objects thought that they were abandoned for real by their owner who is going away to college soon, so they set off an adventure just so they can reunite with him? Check.

  Themes of existentialism? Check.

  Geez. The only difference here was the ending. But you know what they say, "The Brave Little Toaster walked so Pixar's Toy Story could run" lol.

  Also, this is quiet dark for a children's film, which is trippy and I loved it.
