Konterr Brilliant and touching
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
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.
VictorRalphBischoff Whenever I think of my childhood, The Brave Little Toaster is something that springs to mind almost automatically. I have watched this movie so many times, I can pretty much recall every single scene into detail, every single one with it's own unique feel to it.The story is about the appliances craving to get reunited with their owner, after they see a man putting up a "For sale" sign in front of the cottage they are currently in. They go on a huge quest to find their master, along which they meet overly curious squirrels and evil, misleading, top-of-the-line appliances, travel through dark woods, and of course the all-too-well-known scrapheap.There are very dark scenes in this movie, yes. Even as a 19-year old, some bits still creep me out (clown scene, lightning strike on Lampy's bulb, etc). But it is wrong to not let your kid watch it because of that. And concerning the supposed "strong language" (i.e. "idiot" and "stupid") it's not like they will never learn those words. Anyway,the scrapheap scene (and the "Worthless" song) is something that really stuck with me for my whole life ever since I saw it. It's fairly gruesome. The cars there all feel like there is no point to their existence anymore (being broken or outdated), and they have grown to accept this, waiting until they get picked up by a menacing-looking magnet, and then crushed in a huge clash between the crusher's jaw, and the rollers. Compacted into small metal cubes.It shows no emotion at all during any of this. It does not care less or more whether he is demolishing his fellow machines. This is a very good representation of in all reality, a serial killer. The magnet is his henchman, reeling in the defeated and outdated for the crusher to end.This all sounds very gloomy and disturbing, and that is because it is. But that is what makes this movie so special. It doesn't float around on a dreamy story (even though these are, like I said, appliances). It shows fear, companionship, abandonment, and the ongoing need for love and care.I will always keep this movie close to my heart, and it's story will go down in the grave with me. I can't help but like it for all it's characters, stories, and thoughts that get put into us. And of course, just the characters themselves make this movie worth watching it, and even though I only mentioned the scary stuff, this movie has a lot of very nice and happy scenes. Such as the frog ballet, trial-and-error with the transportation, and the likes. I will always be proud to have this as a part of my childhood, and I definitely plan on showing this to my kids if I ever have any.If you are worried about the scrapheap scene right now as a parent, you can look it up on www.youtube.com, under the name "The Brave Little Toaster - Worthless (No Interruptions)".Sincerely,Victor Bischoff
Kyle Hodgdon "The Brave Little Toaster" is another epic journey-type kids movie that I absolutely fell in love with when I first saw it as a small child. The appliance characters are all great and it is cool to see something other than animals for characters. They were all such likable characters. Who couldn't love Toaster? He has such a great heart and is a good hero for kids who watch this film.As I said, this is a good journey film and it feels amazing to accompany the gang on their quest to find their master.I applaud this film by including some darker moments despite the fact that it's a kids movie. When the toaster sacrifices himself to save the kid, I cried. But scenes like that make a great movie and make it powerful. I will always remember "The Brave Little Toaster" and will always love it. It is a film that everyone should see as a child.
Illyngophobia To my memory, this was one of the first animated movies I grew up with as a child. And it's still as moving, powerful and entertaining now, as it was when I was young.TBLT is one of the most underrated movies that I've ever seen,and it's such a shame that it doesn't get the recognition it deserves, especially with a mediocre rating on Rotten Tomatos. The movie may seem to be a typical animated movie; with cutesy scenes and diverse characters for the kids, and that humor that it seemed only our parents would get. But that's not true at all. Just like how this may have been my first animated movie, it was also my first adult movie. This is one of the first and probably one of the few or only animated movie I've seen that was very complex and had a lot of depth to it. For "kids" standards, this was a very dark movie.Two scenes that seems to stick with a lot of people is the "death" of Air Conditioner, who overheats after being ridiculed by the other characters because their master never played with him and when one of the main characters, Lampy sacrifices himself to recharge their dead car battery during a lightning storm.But for me, one of the most memorable and most touching, moving and saddest scene is the infamous flower scene; where Toaster is in behind a shrub and sees a lonely flower under a bright light. The flower mistakes Toaster's reflection for another flower and falls in love with it. After Toaster tells the flower that its only a reflection, the flower dies before Toaster's eyes.All of these scenes (Especially the flower scene) are made even more touching and moving thanks to the beautiful music by David Newman. When we aren't being taken away by beautiful score; we're being entertained by fun and crazed songs such as "More", a song that screams the 1980s about how technology becoming obsolete. "Worthless", a song highlighting the accomplishments and failures of junkyard cars before their deaths and "City of Light", which plays as Toaster and the others are making their way to the city to find their master,Rob.Thomas Disch, the author of the book passed away 2008; but his work and legacy lives on. Thank you Mr.Disch for shaping my childhood.
