Andrea LeVasseur

A delightful children's road movie reminiscent of The Incredible Journey, Disney's The Brave Little Toaster is an appropriately warm adventure tale. Using modern appliances as the protagonists, the story remains old-fashioned in its spirit even as it humorously depicts the clashes between nature and technology. The animation is simple and the story straightforward enough for the youngest of viewers, while adults can appreciate the unique characters and witty dialogue. Featuring the voices of Saturday Night Live veterans Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman, the inventive personalities of the appliances and the constant movie references keep the story moving at a fast pace. In true Disney fashion, virtues such as friendship, cooperation, and resourcefulness are stressed, and the characters also face the despair of becoming obsolete in the high-tech world. Though The Brave Little Toaster found difficulty finding a distributor for its theatrical release, it remains one of the more charming classic quest stories. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
