LoginThe Brave Little Toaster Reviews
Wonderful underrated Disney film

I am 17, and a huge Disney fan. Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Bambi, Pinocchio, Fantasia and the Great Mouse Detective and shows like Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Talespin shaped my childhood and I still adore them now. The Brave Little Toaster was another childhood favourite, and while it has some rather dark moments, it is a wonderful film and I think underrated too, as very few people I know have either seen it or remember it. The animation is lovely with warm colours and nice backgrounds, and all the characters are well animated. The songs are not bad at all, not as memorable as other Disney efforts perhaps, but pleasant to listen to, compared to other animated films(such as the Secret of NIMH 2) where the songs are either forgettable or make you want to stick your fingers down your throat. The characters are likable and well voiced by the likes of Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartmann, I love the the title character's determination and loyalty towards his friends, and the story is timeless. But the best asset is the script, with sharp humour and heart-warming sentiment, it was this alone that makes The Brave Little Toaster worth watching. Overall, this is a great film, and in my opinion one of the better Disney movies of the eighties. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This movie was a fun woodland romp with a rolly polly toaster. Yes! Can you imagine a group of appliances travelling across the wilderness to get back to their Master? Well it bloody well happened in this movie!
Based on the novel and reminiscent of the Homeward Bound films, a set of appliances occupying a cabin in the mountains are awaiting the return of their Master, a young boy whose parents owned the establishment. They spend their days doing chores to keep it clean for his return....which never comes about.
The Toaster takes it upon himself to go to find the Master and enlists the help of a Radio, a Lamp, an Electric Blanket and a Vacuum Cleaner. They travel further than anyone could imagine and face danger that you wouldn't expect.
As a youngster I would watch this on repeat as it always had a feel good factor bestowed on you by the end. The saddest part for me was when the lonely rose in the woods looked upon its reflection in the Toaster and tried to embrace it only for the Toaster to walk away. The rose slumped and wilting was powerful...too powerful...Anakin Skywalker powerful.
Quite a few memorable songs in it too, which I usually hate in animated films. Sadly they made sequels which are hollow in comparison to this classic animation!
You should try it, if only for the outlandish feats they accomplish.
