The giant magnet that chases the group of travellers may be a little scary.Īlso, viewers may be frightened by the Toaster’s nightmare. Is The Brave Little Toaster suitable for kids? Here are our parents’ notes.
Two straight-to-video/DVD sequels followed: The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (1998) and The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue (1999). Little kids will probably miss the underlying messages of helping others, never giving up and selflessness, but will be enchanted by the group’s colourful adventures and cute little characters. It’s like an animated Incredible Journey (except with appliances instead of animals) as the quintet head off with Kirby attached to a car battery and a chair with wheels so he can transport the troupe, and they encounter an electrical storm and other hazards such as quicksand and a giant magnet. The Brave Little Toaster is pretty much a nonstop horror about how these appliances are in constant danger of being destroyed, mangled, pulled-apart, or otherwise killed as they search desperately. The Clown moves in close, and without moving his teeth, says run, in the softest scariest way possible.
(trust me, it sounds funny in a way, but it’s creepy as hell and you know it). Based on Thomas M Disch’s children’s novel, The Brave Little Toaster is the cute tale of five household appliances – Toaster (known as ‘Slots’ by his pals), Blanky the electric blanket, Lampy the lamp, Radio and Kirby the vacuum cleaner – who are left abandoned in a mountain holiday house, so decide to go and find the Master (a thirteen-year-old boy) who makes their lives worthwhile. The Toaster looks down and sees flames erupt from the floor, and a Giant, evil Clown Fireman appears.
