Totally avoiding the question, the lamp (aptly named Lampy) responds, "I dunno, but it must be very nice." It's creepy, like talking doll creepy, especially coupled with sing-alongs from cutesy hell.Ī baby comes into the picture and the appliances ask, "Where do babies come from?"
And then they start talking, spouting these bullshit philosophies about life and death. Then your jaw falls into your crotch as the appliances come alive a toaster, a lamp, a radio, an electric blanket and a vacuum cleaner, among other things. More on that in a moment.Īt first, TBLTGTM seems like a boring, everyday cartoon. So they threw in a plethora of embittered sexual innuendos while at the same time vicariously explaining the meaning of life to a market of daycare preschoolers whose parents don't have time to tell them what sex is. This video (based on a book by Who-Th e-Fuck-Cares) is an example of Disney's retard stepchild straight-to-video market, making these middle-aged, drug-addled cartoonists resent their lives all the more. It doesn't make sense, (it doesn't have to), but there you have it.īut after viewing a VHS copy purchased for $0.75, I've found there's so much more. What else is there to get? A toaster, that is brave (and little) travels to the Red Planet. Similar to the Old Man and The Sea(Hemingway would shoot me for this comparison) TBLTGTMexplains the entire plot in the title. How else do you explain forgotten gems like The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars? Like most of us losers, they resort to massive amounts of psychedelics. When your biggest fans still poop their pants and will forget about you in less time than it takes to MAKE a single episode, you gotta wonder where your life went. It's also no secret that children's cartoonists hate their jobs. Why do you think they're so happy? Hell, they need it, because God knows life is shitty enough without drugs - imagine going through it when your brain is about as useful as a baked potato.
This is in part to do with kids being stoned all the time, something to do with underdeveloped brain chemistry or something. It's no secret that children's programming is really fucking trippy. ( buy this: ruin your little brat's psyche) The film also has a quite intriguing voice cast, including the unmistakable voice of Fyvush Finkel as the hearing aid, Wayne Knight as a microwave, Star Trek (1966-9)’s DeForest Kelley (in his last screen appearance) as the Viking lander and, in an appealingly punning piece of casting, Farrah Fawcett in a brief part as a kitchen faucet.The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (1998) The supreme commander is a giant refrigerator and the journey to meet him travels across the ocean-like interior of the fridge aboard an ice tray to finally arrive at his lair inside the icebox. The rest of the film is filled with all manner of wacky images such as a talking Mars lander and a planet of kitchen appliances that have revolted against obsolescence and fled Earth for Mars. (The end of the film has the delightfully surreal image of the contraption flying through space back to Earth towing the baby behind it in a bubble). When the journey to Mars involves a voyage on a laundry basket mounted on a ceiling fan and using a microwave popping popcorn as an energy source to power the contraption, you can clearly see we are no longer in science-fiction territory any longer but that this is an interplanetary journey that takes place entirely within the realm of fantasy. On the other hand, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars settles in with an appealingly zany sense of humour. The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue was a much blander effort than The Brave Little Toaster. Toaster (voiced by Deanna Oliver) meets the Viking Lander (voiced by DeForest Kelley) Disch’s story, and is based on his 1988 children’s book follow-up of the same title, although that is not noted in the credits. Unlike The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, this returns to the original source material, Thomas M. The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars was made back-to-back and employs identical production credits to The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, with the exception of some extra voice talents brought in to play the new appliances. This was the second of the Brave Little Toaster sequels made by Kushner-Locke, the first being The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue (1997). In the 1990s though, it became one of a host of other animated films that were spun out into lucrative video-released sequel franchises, following the lead of Disney who churned out numerous cheap sequels to their classic animated films. The Brave Little Toaster (1987) was an appealing animated film, although one that enjoyed little success when it originally came out.
