Whereas the Toy Story films are adventure movies with some existential crises mixed in, The Brave Little Toaster is mostly about an existential crisis. But when a realtor puts a “for sale” sign out front, the appliances decide to head to the big city in search of the boy. It’s about a toaster and a few other abandoned housewares who reside in an empty house, awaiting the return of their “master,” a small boy who used to live there. If you’ve never seen The Brave Little Toaster, it’s a lot like Toy Story, except with appliances. But when I found the full film on YouTube, I rewatched it and immediately understood why it was so frightening. Honestly, I don’t remember being freaked out by the movie when I was young, and it’s hard to believe that a movie about a talking toaster could really be that traumatizing. I mean I guess this is a professioneal account February 28, 2020 Shinblam of Several Voices March 11, 2021įirst of all the brave little toaster was high key scary ! /J8SeMCR3I5 The air conditioner in the brave little toaster scared the hell out of me as a kid. While it seems that Disney may not have all the rights to the movie - which might explain why its sequels are on Disney+ but not the original - I also found several blog entries, Reddit threads and Twitter posts by adults saying how much The Brave Little Toaster terrified them as a kid. That night, we settled on watching Muppet Treasure Island because I love everything with the Muppets, but I went digging into The Brave Little Toaster issue later on and was surprised by what I found. The original was nowhere to be found - not on Netflix, HBO or Amazon. Unfortunately, all I could find was a couple of direct-to-video sequels on Disney+. Recently, I was trying to think of something cute and lighthearted to watch, and The Brave Little Toaster came to mind. For example, there’s The Land Before Time, which had a big impact on me as a kid, and Osmosis Jones, which is surprisingly educational. That’s why, when I join in on movie night, I insist on exposing my kid to stuff she hasn’t seen before. Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely think Frozen II is a good movie - and I applaud it for briefly reviving the male power ballad - but, as the father of a six-year-old, hearing the same film on repeat all summer can be grating, no matter what it is. Seriously, if I hear “ Lost in the Woods” one more time, I’m going to freak the hell out.
