Not to mention the presence of an anthropomorphic lamp. The premise shares a surprising number of parallels with Toy Story 3, the world-building is similar to that franchise just with appliances and Pixar would even make a short with a similar concept called The Blue Umbrella. ![]() I can definitely understand the influence this movie seems to have had on Pixar. I think this movie has succumbed a bit to "Seinfeld is Unfunny" in the wake of movies released by Pixar and during the Disney Renaissance but The Brave Little Toaster is still a classic movie with good voice acting, memorable characters, decent animation for a movie that barely has a budget to speak of, fun songs and not being afraid to be quite dark, despite what the title might imply. 35 years may have passed but I remember renting this so much as a kid It has an interesting history animator John Lasseter originally pitched it as a computer-animated feature to Disney, which upset a studio executive so much that he fired Lasseter within minutes Lasseter took the concept to Hyperion Pictures, which later released it as an independent production to positive reception Lead to several sequels too An idea so simple yet works phenomenally Basically several appliances are alive but they keep it secret from humans The core group here is a toaster, a blanket, a vacuum cleaner, a radio, and a lamp Their human master is a small boy who’s taken care of them all their lives but he grows up he’s moving out of his house in the countryside and off to college The appliances are worried he’s abandoned them for good so they all set out on an adventure to track him down But they have to brave the elements, come across other inanimate objects that come alive, and prove to themselves they can be brave and still be wanted I loved how much effort was put into this you have to admire the softer moments, the ones focusing on the loneliness of these appliances trying to get back to their master There's a sense of harshness looming overhead too Charming characters and cute song numbers along with some really intense scary scenes I gotta say Even won a parents choice award and was a smash hit at the Sundance Film Festival The Worthless song is some people’s favorite, it’s very catchy Smooth animation and on-point expressions make for a very memorable entry from Disney that’ll always have a special place in our hearts ![]()
