Quite possibly one of the most realistic movies ever made, which is funny cause this kind of movie wouldn't normally be realisti
This movie is very well-written and it's one that will probably appeal more to an older demographic as they'll actually understand what's going on. For kids... depends on the kid. If you have exposed your kids to the concept of death (In which this movie has at least 12 instances), they can handle it, but a kid who has been sheltered and told that everything realistic...

"Toaster" is enjoyed by my son but a scene is questionable.
Who would ever think a kid video about appliances would be entertaining! My son loves to watch it over and over, and I enjoy the music. Only one concern: I do not particularly like my son to see the part where the toaster is thrown into water. We fast forward this part, and he knows to not watch this part. Why was this part included in a video that preschoolers...

Quite possibly one of the most realistic movies ever made, which is funny cause this kind of movie wouldn't normally be realisti, Janv. 9 2009
This movie is very well-written and it's one that will probably appeal more to an older demographic as they'll actually understand what's going on. For kids... depends on the kid. If you have exposed your kids to the concept of death (In which this movie has at least 12 instances), they can handle it, but a kid who has been sheltered and told that everything realistic on TV is bad and doesn't might get scared. But come on, I think kids like getting scared more than they put on. They just say it's bad because parents tell them to think that way.
The plot is one of the most obscure but also original ideas out there, and the humor, while a lack of physical humor, is charming and mostly comes from the radio and lamp making wisecrack remarks. This is something I wanna go into:
I read a review for this from someone on amazon.com (The American site) who gave this movie a one because it apparently teaches kids that bickering and arguing is okay. HELLO! It's called realism! People argue all the time. It's normal. And come on, in the end, they settle their differences, so what kids will really learn from this movie is that you can argue but that doesn't mean you can't also get along when the time is right.
The songs are some of the most original also as they're not just different but also surprisingly dramatic. City of Light is an exception as it's like your typical family film song, but B-Movie talks of appliances getting killed in a horror movie-like fashion, Cutting Edge goes into the territory of old things being replaced by newer things and Worthless is what I deem the first melancholy song in any family film as it talks about how everything that lives will eventually die.
This movie is great because of its witty charm, original storyline, horrifyingly realistic ideas and very unique musical numbers. Sure, the animations are more of an above-average TV show quality, but animations aren't that important. You see that? Visuals don't make the movie! Characters and storyline make the movie!

One of my favourite movies!, Jui 6 2005
This movie was one of my favourite ones when I was a young child, but even now I can still remember without being told that I watched it many, many times. I loved it and I don't think I'll ever forget it simply because it was such a great and memorable little movie.

favourite family dvd, Sep 8 2004
Par Un client
My son first saw Brave Little Toaster when he was about 3 years old. We, as was our custom,all watched it. It was love at first viewing. So many people have never heard of this movie and when you try to describe it, the get a look in their eyes that says, "OKKKKAAAAAYYY", what ever you say.
I took a copy to his day care for the other children to watch. They gave it back to me that afternoon saying that it was too scary for a lot of the children. Where was the imagination of this group?
It recently came up in discussion with my (now 20 year old son) and his girlfriend. Apparently it is her favourite movie. I guess that sense of homour and adventure is why they are so good for each other.
Our son is hoping to design computer games, after he graduates from college. He has said that this movie will be in his mind for either a game. Our favourite part is the "It's a B movie" part and this is the one he wants to expand on.

Excellent, Juil 15 2004
This film is Excellent for all ages! I remember seeing this when I was younger and for a film that came out in 1987 it holds up well on dvd. The dvd won't win any awards with fans but its enough to NOT hamper the film. Kids wouldn't know anyway! The story is a good one and one that is a timeless classic. I LOVE the part where the air conditioner goes all "jack Nicholson" on the group....a little "Shining" maybe? Its very funny! New cartoon films don't seem to have all of the heart that this one does. Its nostalgic, its fun and its a classic.

"Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey," for appliances!, Juil 9 2004
"The Brave Little Toaster" is a treasure of a family classic. My family's been watching it for years. It was made the year I was born, so I grew up with it and still adore it to this day. Even my father adores it. In fact, it's usually his idea to watch it! A truly unique film, "The Brave Little Toaster" centers on the determined voyage of five totally lovable appliances (the meek electric Blanky, the droll Lampy, the vociferous Radio, the austere vacuum Kirby, and the compassionate Brave Little Toaster). Their trip home to their beloved master involves an office chair and a battery. Seeing the world from the point of view of an electrical appliance makes for one thoroughly interesting, enjoyable movie. Instead of the problems that would be encountered by traditional flesh-and-blood characters, we glimpse into the perspective of machines, each in possession of a soul. And what a wonderful glimpse it is. We meet a great number of these sentient beings throughout the movie. Among its finest features is the music; three of the songs stand out for me because they're performed by a fascinating 'company' of various appliances. The first song in the film is "City of Lights," which is a catchy tune about the optimistic beginning of their journey. My father loves this song. The second song is performed in a parts shop, by deranged and mutilated appliances who've resigned themselves to an awful death. The sequence is ominous and deliberately frightening, but not too scary for children. The point is not that these characters are evil; on the contrary, they're quite pleasant to their own kind. Who can blame them for being creepy? For them, life is a horror movie, complete with a Peter Lorre ceiling lamp. The tone of the movie is, on the whole, much darker than most animated children's films. But this should not deter audiences. It's a shame that movies like this are not more popular. Certain scary moments include Toaster's clown nightmare, the Jack Nicholson air conditioner exploding (rest assured, he's repaired later), and the final scene in the junkyard. Fear not this amazing film, however; you'll be glad you saw it. The interactions of the main characters make them come across as very 'real'; audiences feel for them as for a main character who's a human, or a dog, or any other kind of animal. The characters are very funny and, despite their constant quarrels, very attached. The attachment clearly shows when disaster strikes (ie, at the waterfall, in the quicksand, in the junkyard, in the parts shop.) To further the comparison to animal characters, the 'house pets,' if you will, during the majority of the film are then certainly the high-tech appliances. The colorful, futuristic scene in the master's apartment is flooded with various modern characters, seemingly led by a new-looking purple lamp cleverly named Plugsy. His proud demeanor belies the fact that he serves essentially the same purpose as old Lampy. A telephone, computer, boom box, toaster oven, green bagless vacuum, two-faced sewing machine, and entertainment center are among those who sing to their 'inferior' counterparts that they are 'on the cutting edge' and offer 'everything you wanted and more.' Except for the friendly black-and-white television (who is really a human onscreen), these appliances are seemingly insecure and nasty, packing our five heroes off to the dump in the master's absence. Somehow, they remain likable. The TV even seems to coexist peacefully with them; Blanky asks where the master is, and a surprised TV asks, "Didn't anyone tell you?" Of course no one told them. The cutting edge appliances aren't the nicest guys in the world. The junkyard scene is sad because, unlike the parts shop appliances who escape, these worn-out cars are crushed. Their song, "Worthless," tells the tale of several cars who've accepted their fate. Naturally, in the end, the brave appliances wind up safe and happy with the Master; who's now off to college. The variety of characters is what I really love, among many other things, in this movie. The woodland creatures who first entertain, then irritate, the appliances are not intended to make kids dislike them. How often do they see appliances in the wild?! They're just reacting to the new stimulus in the environment with curiosity. Also, be sure to listen for subtle humor; my dad cracks up when the customer says, "Heaven sent you to me" with very flat emotion to Elmo St. Peters. Aside from that, this unusual movie has no love story in it except for the obvious relationship between the Master and Chris, but even that is not stressed. There aren't too many girls in it anyway, save for the toaster oven, phone, some of the cars, sewing machine, and two parts-shop characters, including the Joan Rivers 'mish-mosh.' She's a can opener, a lamp, and a shaver. But these little points really don't make much difference, when the movie on the whole is so delightfully appealing. The old-fashioned brave little toaster and all his friends will toast their way right into your family.

Greatest Movie Ever!, Mars 20 2004
Par Un client
This was one of my three favorite animated movies when I was a kid and it still is (the other 2 were Rankin/Bass's "The Hobbit" and "Return of the King")! The songs are wonderful and should've won the Oscar (I don't know if it did or not). This should've won the "Best Animated Feature" Oscar of 1987 (again, I don;t know if it did or not). Overall, a great movie!

A Childhood Favorite, Mars 12 2004
I still remember watching this charming, quite teary-eyed movie as a kid. I adore the film even though I'm older and mature now, but I still find that THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER can still hold up to today's animated movies.When five household appliances- a brave toaster, a scared electric blanket, a talkative radio, a comical lamp, and a mean vaccum cleaner- learn that they're beloved master is nowhere to be seen, they decide to go on a journey to find the owner who mysteriously left them. Of course, the film delightfully has the appliances have a grand old adventure, singing songs, encounter foes and obstacles and a sad and emontional return to their owner. Although I haven't seen this movie in a while, I still like this film. Recommended mostly for the kiddies, it's also fun for the parents. THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER also sends a good message about courage, friendship and redemption.

The Brave Little Toaster, Fév 4 2004
My daughter and I love The Brave Little Toaster, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars and The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue. These films are not only entertaining, but they also have a message. We all have things from our past that bring us joy and comfort(i.e. toaster, vacuum, light, etc.). It was cute that the Master and his appliances were in search of each other. The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue reminds all of us how animals are used for experiments whether good or bad. I can't imagine someone not enjoying these films. They are all well done. My daughter's favorite is The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars. She enjoys the appliances helping the little master. This particular film is my least favorite, but as I said I like them all very much.

puzzled, Janv. 1 2004
Par Un client
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Brave Little Toaster, but both my (now grown) kids have ALWAYS loved it, and still do, along with my husband. Lots of things kids experience are scary. Lots of things kids imagine are scary. I used to think inanimate objects might "come alive" when I was a kid. Brave Little Toaster deals w/normal kid fears/fantasies in an honest and (yes, sorry!) brave way and lets kids feel more in control of what is to them a basically uncontrollable world.
