ChannelFrederator also I like how you see if your conspiracies hold up including almost every detail you can find... your videos are much appreciated and enjoyed by me...
How about you guys remember to give a SPOILER ALERT NEXT TIME!: I mean for those who haven't seen the movie yet and wanted to in the future, you basically ruined the whole thing for them!
It actually gets darker too. As the cars are on the conveyer belt, you can actually see that they are singing about the things they regret in life. And these things? They shadow people in society who are deemed "worthless". Listen to the full song. The second one was exemplified as having depression. The sixth one was scarred from having beared death. The eighth one was abandoned in a parking lot and called worthless by his owner.
What's with all the Blanky hate? Was I the only one watching this growing up and feeling bad for Blanky and that the others were jerks to him? Maybe I was clingy and sensitive too lol
this movie actually did two things for me, having watched it for the first time at the tender age of maybe 4 or 5 in the early nineties. 1- gave me a strong attachment to inanimate objects 2- primed me for a lifelong love of horror movies
The best kids movies growing up were the ones not specifically made for kids. The Muppet movies fall into the same category. Brave Toaster still holds up because it's a movie that grows with you. Each of the appliances represents a different age group dealing with abandonment. Blanky is a toddler. Lamp is a tween just trying to figure out where he belongs in the group. Radio is the teenager who acts like they know everything. Toaster is the young adult just figuring out what maturity means. Air conditioner is the jaded adult who feels like society has stuck them in one place. Finally, Kirby is the old man that tries to keep people away because it's less painful than become attached, as they do quite literally, and losing them. There are many social levels this works on too, but this comment is long enough already.
I always thought that Blanky is 4, Toaster is a 10 year old boy who hasn't gone through puberty yet but soon will, and the rest are teens, and yes they all have to cope with abandonment.
the part where the vacuum tried to kill himself by eating his own cord made me deeply afraid of ever letting a vacuum run over its own cord. i thought it'd brake and die and maybe blow up, slight paranoia you could say
Pastel Ponies I saw this movie again for the first time in 20 years this week. I realized this is where my fear of running over the vacuum cord came from. Also, it was an accident he swallowed his cord.
@Dank Memes Which is better: all-in-one hoover style like Kirby or the separated 'broom and caboose' configuration like Rob's mom had in her apartment?
Random_User_237 The Brave Little Toaster is my favorite Childhood Kids movie and we really need the first Brave Little Toaster movie on Netflix and Amazon and Hulu.
i remember that this movie creeped me out and made me anxious as a kid, especially the junkyard magnet, but it was one of my favorites that i held on to throughout the years. something about it just clicked with me
Welcome back, Arielle! And what a nostalgic episode this was for me! I gotta say, putting this episode together was a huge challenge because the entire time I wanted to just sit back and rewatch The Brave Little Toaster 1 or 5 more times. To anyone who hasn't seen it, seriously - it's amazing. Give it a watch this Thanksgiving! You know - if you're into horrifically dark films and whatnot :P
We watched a lot of dark movies as kids in the 90s . Little monsters , nightmare before Christmas ,fern gully, never ending story,secret of nimh, the witches
deysi gonzalez hahahaha Nightmare before Christmas is dark?! Hahahahahahahaha Maybe to someone who is a wimp and is scared of skeletons, kids dressed as common monsters (Lock, Shock, and Barrel) and puppets. Seriously when I was a kid-and to this day, I still love it!
You forgot something. Car: "I once took a Texan to a wedding. Once took a Texan to a wedding. He kept forgetting, his loneliness letting his thoughts turn to home and we turned." Hearst: "I took a man to a graveyard. I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough just living with the stuff I have learned." They get crushed together.
I watched this movie I think a total of 2 times when I was little, because each of my parents made the mistake of letting me watch it once. I had "to the rescue" and "goes to mars" and watched them all the time, 2 movies that really are more meant for kids, and I think their thought process went "it's G like the others, surely it's OK," then as they watched it with me because we lived in a 2 bedroom house with a single TV, they thought "OH MY!!! THIS IS NOT FOR MY 6 YEAR OLD!!" I remember not being phased by a lot of it, mainly toaster getting mangled and lampy getting zapped, but when I looked back at it as a teen, I started shaking over how messed up some things were. Also, I think this franchise is partially to blame why I'm so attached to things.
To The Rescue also has some less-than-kid-friendly things. The talked about but not directly shown on screen animal torture/experimentation for instance
I have no idea why I wasn't phased by it as a kid but I am now. Maybe it's because I'm an adult now and understand the more darker parts. I don't get scared of the clown though.
The death count during "Worthless" alone is 25 - although it might be 24 if you believe that the texan groom was the man the hearse took.... (the director confirmed this at one point, they're the only two cars crushed together for a reason; their story isn't two seperate strands but one tale of of a man who _'turned_ his limo over on the way to the altar, distracted by second thoughts...)
Well, actually, Rob (the Master) went to the cabin to look for them since they still hadn't sold the land. When he sees the state the appliances left it in, the Master thinks it was robbed, and the TV (which is alive like the other appliances) convinced the Master to go to the junkyard by telling him it was an appliance outlet.
I would have hunted them down too. Older appliances last longer than newer ones. My mom's refrigerator lasted only two years while the one I inherited from my grandmother still works like it did when it was first bought in the 60s.
I actually kept my old 2ds and ds even though they don't work. Is it because I'm hoping that one day, they can be fixed or, is it the memories that come with it?
toxic rouge There's also Toaster's Nightmare about the demonic fireman clown. That's the scariest scene ever and it's my favorite part of The Brave Little Toaster.
I honestly didn't think anyone else besides me knew about this movie. Plus, there were two sequels: The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue and The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. The first movie is the best of them, though.
3:25 You can tell from the way Kirby moves his eyes that he doesn't mean what he said, he's pretending to be callous and hiding his grief in an attempt to keep everyone calm.
See this is the thing about "kids films." There are kids films and then there are films that kids can enjoy. But what really separates the two? For example Walt Disney has gone on record multiple times to say that he doesn't make kids films. He makes films that (hopefully) the whole family can enjoy. This means that all of the animated Disney canon, at least during the Walt era, are technically not kids films. That was never the intent. The shorts and various TV shows are another thing. So what makes a G rated movie automatically a "kids film?" Really... Nothing. People just perceive it that way. But that's not the actual case. A kid's movie/TV show has an intended audience and only that audience can really derive any enjoyment out of it. Maybe with some nostalgic draw for some older audiences. A G rated family movie/TV show has an intended audience but can still be enjoyed by people outside of that demographic. Books are another thing altogether though.
I just thought of something. The Brave Little Toaster is one of the few kid's properties where the Robot Chicken parody is more innocent than the movie itself.
Yes they did. Although it was just a quick channel flip where the toaster said "An everything bagel? I'll sure do my best!" or something like that. I forget which episode it was on, but I know it was a season 8 episode that featured an extremely long parody of the Brady Bunch intro and a Toy Story skit where they meet Pinko the talking block of wood.
This movie was absolutely terrifying. I watched it on VHS when I was about 5 or 6 and maybe only three times in my whole lifetime. I might pick it back up now but these scenes you mentioned, I still remember even 12 years later. The seizure and air conditioner left me shook, but the junkyard scene was what left me crying when I saw a toaster. Or a car. Honestly anything. I saw Toy Story around the same time too so I was scared of all the inanimate objects in my house.
As for me, after watching the movie at this age, I sang songs to our AC and patted it so it wouldn't feel alone and I followed my mom around whenever she vacuumed holding up the cord so the vacuum wouldn't eat his own cord and die, and I petted the vacuum and sang to him too so he could feel loved. I made faces in the toaster and I waited for the toast to pop up and thanked the toaster when it did and I had conversations with all of the lamps. I sang to the radio. I carried around a blankie everywhere I went until I was like 11 years old so he would not feel alone or rejected. Whenever mom tried to throw away an appliance in the trash or dumpster, I would give it a kiss and tell it I loved it and that it is not worthless. I always felt very sad to say goodbye. And now I am involved in recycling and sustainability and I make sure all of my old appliances get recycled because I know they are not worthless, and I care about the environment. :) Also I am a person with seizures so it was kind of helpful to see it happen to Kirby to not feel alone. Plus my mom often abandoned me in the house alone and lots of people beat me as well as her beating me so I could relate to the blender bleeding and getting mutilated and the clown nightmare cause the people who beat me had knives, and Toaster was afraid of forks. And people constantly calling me worthless because mom was trafficking me and men were raping me during my childhood. My mom actually threw me in dumpsters when I was about 3 years old to try to get me to freeze to death over night. But I didn't because I climbed inside trash bags full of trash to stay warm. Unfortunately she always came back in the morning to collect my dead body but took me home once she found I was still alive. But I just skipped among the flowers and trees and squirrels whenever I could run away from home and sang City of Light to cheer myself up. So this was a very good movie to inspire me during my childhood.
You think the CARS have it rough in this universe, hypothetically the trains have it the worst, being sold at an auction, then dismantled slowly by the scrapper's claw.
Mighty Milo this movie was made before any kirby game was released. the vacuum is named kirby because hes modeled after a specific kirby brand vacuum from the 80s
Happy thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates! Thanks to channel frederator for giving us a vid on thanks giving! I've never seen this show! Is that a bad thing! #NotifactionSquad #ThanksGiving #Turkey #Dave
I remember that I watched this movie when my mom was at the hospital, giving birth to my little sister. I was four years old. The workshop scenes and the junkyard magnet were in my nightmares for weeks... I think what surprised me, even at the time, was the movie just perpetually escalating in intensity. I remember being mildly disturbed by the air conditioner basically working itself into a 'heart attack', but deciding I could soldier through it...then I realize how unfair and mean everyone is to poor Blankie and feeling all sad...and getting to the waterfall scene and thinking, "SURELY IT'LL BE OVER SOON, HOW CAN A KID'S MOVIE BE THIS EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE???" It's not even HALF over by that point. That's normally a peak climactic event...how do you get more dramatic than dropping almost everyone over a waterfall? Appliance murder and sentient car genocide, that's how! I remember so much of this freaking movie for having seen it probably twice. It's an extremely unforgettable movie for a sensitive kid, lol.
I remember when in the second one Radio basically sacrificed himself by removing his batteries to give to the older computer to use to survive. You know for kids?
Love this video. Thank you for being straightforward about the dark plots without making things negative. This is one of my all time favourites, and it really irks me when people try to tear into it just for being dark. I also love that you brought up how it isn't a Disney movie, because I keep having to explain this to people myself. I greatly appreciate you siting Jerry Rees throughout the video, as many videos on this movie seem to ignore him entirely. Fun fact, though, about the movie being rated G: if you look on the back cover, it shows that the movie itself has no rating, which means it was never actually assigned one by the MPAA. Interestingly enough, I'm actually internet friends with Jerry Rees, and have been for several years now. He's a really nice guy, and actually helped with a college speech I wrote about the movie a couple of years ago. He also emailed me a photocopy of the master picture when I was in High School, which I still have framed to this day. Sorry to be so wordy on here, I just have an undying love for this movie, but you get the picture. Thank you again, and have a lovely day. :)
That junkyard scene has NOTHING To The scrapyards in Thomas The Tank Engine! The engines get CUT UP, MELTED, and then are USED FOR OTHER ENGINES. In one story, an engine is TOOK APART, PEICE BY PEICE, seeing other engines getting repaired with his parts and going on, UNTIL NOTHING WAS LEFT! That was only in the books, which I’m not surprised wasn’t adapted for the show.
The air conditioner didn't die. He is shown to be alive at the end. Also, "Oh no! the movie has some intense moments in it!" Give kids a bit more credit, they are not all sheltered, pampered babys. The movie basically teaches you that everything has an end and everyone has to go sometimes. But that doesn't mean you should give up on life, be brave and enjoy the time we have been given on earth, even if bad things happen and don't let others (the modern appliances) tell you otherwise. And that's a great message, even for kids. I wish Pixar's "Cars" movies would have a junkyard scene.
Cars was originally going to have McQueen crash off a road and end up in a junkyard place full of dead cars and he'd try to escape but keep driving into mangled car remains, they scrapped it because it was deemed "too intense for kids"
Exactly. This stuff was normal in kids movies up until somewhat recently. Didn't stop any of us from loving it all. Yeah, it had some intense scenes, the air conditioner definitely shook me up a bit. But it just made things all the more memorable and exciting. Life is stressful and scary sometimes, you gotta experience it as a kid. I think animators and filmmakers knew that back then.
It’d make sense. They feel like they’ve been abandoned by their master (whom they practically see as a god) and they go on an adventure to reach said master in hopes that he really does care about them. What they don’t realize is that the only reason he even comes for them later is that he’s too cheap to replace them. Their god doesn’t actually care about them. The only thing that ruins that idea is when he goes out of his way to fix the toaster at the end. I feel like it would have been a better film if the toaster died at the end, sacrificing himself for his master who doesn’t know and doesn’t care.
Something isn't suddenly not a kid show just because it isn't meant for kids of this generation or just because adults find it disturbing. Take The Animals Of Farthing Wood, it's a kid's cartoon with gore and death. But, since it came out in 1993 it's a kid's show for the kids of the past. I get what you're saying at the end, but you can't tell me that the imagery of "The Brave Little Toaster" Wasn't meant for children, when the book itself was intended for children. Obviously the creators know this. Take Zootopia, Disney isn't thinking "Wow we better make a dumb child show for children" As their only thought for making an animated movie. They seek to invest the audience, and to do that you can't just invest in humoring a child. Bambi has the death of a mother, a disturbing scene that many kids wont even understand or relate with, does this suddenly make it to adult for children? What about the appliances getting taken apart? To disturbing? No. It's only disturbing if you THINK to hard on it. kid's are looking at it emotionally not thinking "Oh this appliance is getting taken apart it's basically appliance gore!" It's growing UP that makes these things so much more horrifying because we relate it to messed up things we've already seen. A kid doesn't.
No. The reason it’s not a kids movie is because the filmmakers have straight up said that they didn’t make it for kids. The intentions of the filmmakers and who they intended a movie to be for isn’t subjective if they have confirmed it. Also just because a film had child friendly imagery or is based on a children’s book doesn’t mean that it’s automatically for children. A book and movie are two separate entities and there is no rule that a film adaptation has to always be for the same audience as it’s source material. And pretty much every cartoon has child friendly imagery and bright colors including the objectively adult cartoons. So your argument that it must be for children because of the imagery is pretty weak.
I remember watching the brave little toaster when I was a small little child! But I only really remember clearly the junk yard scene and the part where the owNEr ALmOsT FReaKiNG DIES! ya defiantly NOT a Kids film.
The song "Worthless" is amazingly haunting. For those who haven't looked far into the lyrics. Two cars seemed to have a connected story. The first being the yellow car with the horns "Once took a Texan to a wedding He kept forgetting, his loneliness letting His thoughts turn to home and we turned" And then the hearse immediately after saying "I took a man to a graveyard I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough Just living with the stuff I have learned." Implying a man was on his way to his wedding, but maybe had some kind of affair beforehand and committed suicide by driving over the edge of the road over his guilt. That being the stuff the car learned that he now has to live with. And why people think the stories are connected is because of them being crushed together in the compactor where every other car in the song is crushed individually.
I remember that I would hide and plug my ears during the scenes where Kirby runs over his cord and the Junkyard. Even now, as someone who’s knocking on 30’s door, I get scared when I vacuum that I’ll run over the cord. That magnet from the junkyard would haunt me. I’d have nightmares about it chasing me. My family would play this movie for me all the time though.
From the AC kicking the bucket to the junkyard scene with all the cars accepting their deaths. Even when they're in the creepy shop, but that didn't bother me much now as much as it did when I was a kid.
Now that we've laid out the evidence... IS this a movie for kids? YES! Yes it is! I watched this movie all the time when I was a kid, so much so that when my house was broken into and the thief made off with are fancy-schmancy new VCR, I was apparently heart-broken because my copy of the movie was still in it at the time it was stolen. (I say "apparently" since that's how my folks tell the story. I was too young for me to actually remember any of this.) This is quality filmmaking, and other kids movies need to take notes from it. Just because it's for kids doesn't mean it has to be stupid or dumbed down. Respect your child audience's collective intelligence, and your child audience will respect you in kind and forever remember you as a CLASSIC. *mic drop* This movie didn't have a theatrical release? It was straight-to-video?? O_O Holy crap... Ladies & gentlemen, I give you... _the greatest straight-to-video movie ever made!_
Dude, that video had my eyes wide open when you guys mentioned how dark the movie really was. Ironically I grew up with that movie. It’s a classic and I never really thought how dark it is or how it’s not a Disney movie. Thanks for the great video.
This movie will always remind me of the class full of kids yelling "Where did the chair go!?" and "How did the chair come back!?" Chair continuity was important to my classmates.
The book had an explanation for Kirby having a seizure? What was it? I figured he was just scared of water or something, and it was the equivalent of chewing your own fingernails.
My girls and I loved this movie! And I had no problem with some of the questionable scenes because I think too many people are ending up narcissistic in today's society. I would give some brief explanation that emphasized empathy and sympathy. Like the toaster jumping into the gear part. Both my girls are grown up now. Their character development turned out excellent. My granddaughter is, I swear to God, the sweetest child I've ever met. I'll admit at times I do ask myself, how did my kid raise this child so well!? Haha! I am just glad she did and they have the Brave Little Toaster on their video shelf.
But it's great for kids, I loved this and other intense movies as a 4-5 year old, or somewhere around that age. I had pretty thick skin due to films like this one. Kids get to learn some of the harsher things in life in ways they might understand a little better in this format. Think of the older Don Bluth movies like All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Land Before Time, or even more dark, An American Tail. They had some of the harshest events in the main characters life happen but not so much that it was ever unhealthy to view as a child.
Very well done! Wow, this movie, like much of my childhood, is another part of a world that I didn't understand, but was fascinated by. I really like the way you go back and find the context behind my memories.
I havent seen this movie in a long time. But i remember being really freaked out by the scene in the scrap shop. (And the clowns too. That should go withouy saying)
Best analysis I have seen on this movie! This was the one movie I always watched as a kid (mind you a 5 and 6 year old me) along with Ferngully the last rainforest. The junk yard scene frightened me so much the more I watched it that I visibly squirmed in my seat when my parents drove past junk yards.... lol. That magnet machine as well as Hexus were the two "vilians" growing up that actually gave me full on fear compared to any animated film I have ever watched.... and that's a lot.... lol. Love this video! :3 ❤
Could it be true?! Find out on this episode of Cartoon Conspiracy! (happy turkey day to those who are celebrating today!)

davidevgen me too
To us all
davidevgen. Out of all "deaths" in cartoons, that one got to me as a kid
The dump scene still gives me chills sometimes

I never watched this but I’m with you

I actually haven't seen any of the sequels! I think you've just figured out my holiday watch list
Sandwichy I love dark things. I'm a morbid 13 year old, as quoted by one of my teachers XD
I had actual nightmares about this movie.
We watched a lot of dark movies as kids in the 90s . Little monsters , nightmare before Christmas ,fern gully, never ending story,secret of nimh, the witches
deysi gonzalez oh my god don't remind me of little monsters please
Not quite 90s, but don't forget THE GATE!

The nightmare before Christmas is a 2013 flim
deysi gonzalez hahahaha Nightmare before Christmas is dark?!
Hahahahahahahaha
Maybe to someone who is a wimp and is scared of skeletons, kids dressed as common monsters (Lock, Shock, and Barrel) and puppets.
Seriously when I was a kid-and to this day, I still love it!

Hearst: "I took a man to a graveyard.

I think I'm thinking the same thing that you're implying.
That's deep. Soul deep.

i just love dark humor
To The Rescue also has some less-than-kid-friendly things. The talked about but not directly shown on screen animal torture/experimentation for instance
Oh yeah? Teenage you was shaking because of the brave littler toaster?
True
I have no idea why I wasn't phased by it as a kid but I am now. Maybe it's because I'm an adult now and understand the more darker parts. I don't get scared of the clown though.
The death count during "Worthless" alone is 25 - although it might be 24 if you believe that the texan groom was the man the hearse took....

MKtheinstrumentalist what happend to the background singers cars
Great now it's both sad and disturbing
Wow. That's sad and spooky.
I like that the owner of these appliances is like “I can’t just go buy more, I’ve gotta go hunt them down”
Well, actually, Rob (the Master) went to the cabin to look for them since they still hadn't sold the land. When he sees the state the appliances left it in, the Master thinks it was robbed, and the TV (which is alive like the other appliances) convinced the Master to go to the junkyard by telling him it was an appliance outlet.

@@ZimVader-0017 that's impressive
Wait, there's a BOOK?? This movie was my jam growing up, I must read!
That's what I was just thinking lol
Can tell me why he choked on the cord
toxic rouge There's also Toaster's Nightmare about the demonic fireman clown. That's the scariest scene ever and it's my favorite part of The Brave Little Toaster.

Simon Horan no he gets MANGLED (I’m trying to say mangle)
she cool.
See this is the thing about "kids films." There are kids films and then there are films that kids can enjoy. But what really separates the two?
For example Walt Disney has gone on record multiple times to say that he doesn't make kids films. He makes films that (hopefully) the whole family can enjoy. This means that all of the animated Disney canon, at least during the Walt era, are technically not kids films. That was never the intent. The shorts and various TV shows are another thing.
So what makes a G rated movie automatically a "kids film?" Really... Nothing. People just perceive it that way. But that's not the actual case. A kid's movie/TV show has an intended audience and only that audience can really derive any enjoyment out of it. Maybe with some nostalgic draw for some older audiences. A G rated family movie/TV show has an intended audience but can still be enjoyed by people outside of that demographic. Books are another thing altogether though.
i like blanky, he's so cute

shUT UP BLANKY IS LIKE MY CHILD
(im joking pls dont kill me)
Moonblaze Draws Blankey Is Best Cinamon Roll
I feel I should rewatch the movie just to see why people hate him
IkeFanboy64 People who hate Blanky is an @$$hole
I just thought of something. The Brave Little Toaster is one of the few kid's properties where the Robot Chicken parody is more innocent than the movie itself.
Robot Chicken did this movie?! Why was I not informed?
Yes they did. Although it was just a quick channel flip where the toaster said "An everything bagel? I'll sure do my best!" or something like that. I forget which episode it was on, but I know it was a season 8 episode that featured an extremely long parody of the Brady Bunch intro and a Toy Story skit where they meet Pinko the talking block of wood.

Can't get Jack Nicholson's face out of my mind saying this
This movie was absolutely terrifying. I watched it on VHS when I was about 5 or 6 and maybe only three times in my whole lifetime. I might pick it back up now but these scenes you mentioned, I still remember even 12 years later. The seizure and air conditioner left me shook, but the junkyard scene was what left me crying when I saw a toaster. Or a car. Honestly anything. I saw Toy Story around the same time too so I was scared of all the inanimate objects in my house.
As for me, after watching the movie at this age, I sang songs to our AC and patted it so it wouldn't feel alone and I followed my mom around whenever she vacuumed holding up the cord so the vacuum wouldn't eat his own cord and die, and I petted the vacuum and sang to him too so he could feel loved. I made faces in the toaster and I waited for the toast to pop up and thanked the toaster when it did and I had conversations with all of the lamps. I sang to the radio. I carried around a blankie everywhere I went until I was like 11 years old so he would not feel alone or rejected. Whenever mom tried to throw away an appliance in the trash or dumpster, I would give it a kiss and tell it I loved it and that it is not worthless. I always felt very sad to say goodbye.
And now I am involved in recycling and sustainability and I make sure all of my old appliances get recycled because I know they are not worthless, and I care about the environment. :)
Also I am a person with seizures so it was kind of helpful to see it happen to Kirby to not feel alone. Plus my mom often abandoned me in the house alone and lots of people beat me as well as her beating me so I could relate to the blender bleeding and getting mutilated and the clown nightmare cause the people who beat me had knives, and Toaster was afraid of forks. And people constantly calling me worthless because mom was trafficking me and men were raping me during my childhood. My mom actually threw me in dumpsters when I was about 3 years old to try to get me to freeze to death over night. But I didn't because I climbed inside trash bags full of trash to stay warm. Unfortunately she always came back in the morning to collect my dead body but took me home once she found I was still alive. But I just skipped among the flowers and trees and squirrels whenever I could run away from home and sang City of Light to cheer myself up. So this was a very good movie to inspire me during my childhood.
i like her energy
meh me too
You think the CARS have it rough in this universe, hypothetically the trains have it the worst, being sold at an auction, then dismantled slowly by the scrapper's claw.
ShinyArceusGames50 the nightmares for trains and cars
Yikes!

Mighty Milo this movie was made before any kirby game was released. the vacuum is named kirby because hes modeled after a specific kirby brand vacuum from the 80s
I always loved The Brave Little Toaster.
HOW?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?
Strangely, I loved this movie as a kid and I still loved it today.
Infact, it's probably my favorite movie from childhood.
ZPokemonfanA The NeverEnding Story is mine. Even though you see a horse drown it’s all around a awesome movie.

Happy thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates! Thanks to channel frederator for giving us a vid on thanks giving! I've never seen this show! Is that a bad thing! #NotifactionSquad #ThanksGiving #Turkey #Dave
....it wasn't bloody enough...(adds in a bucket of old oil and spills it every where ) there we go!!!
“Roll the title card, I’m ready to ruin some childhoods” is one of my new favorite sentences
I remember that I watched this movie when my mom was at the hospital, giving birth to my little sister. I was four years old. The workshop scenes and the junkyard magnet were in my nightmares for weeks...
I think what surprised me, even at the time, was the movie just perpetually escalating in intensity. I remember being mildly disturbed by the air conditioner basically working itself into a 'heart attack', but deciding I could soldier through it...then I realize how unfair and mean everyone is to poor Blankie and feeling all sad...and getting to the waterfall scene and thinking, "SURELY IT'LL BE OVER SOON, HOW CAN A KID'S MOVIE BE THIS EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE???"
It's not even HALF over by that point. That's normally a peak climactic event...how do you get more dramatic than dropping almost everyone over a waterfall? Appliance murder and sentient car genocide, that's how!
I remember so much of this freaking movie for having seen it probably twice. It's an extremely unforgettable movie for a sensitive kid, lol.
I remember when in the second one Radio basically sacrificed himself by removing his batteries to give to the older computer to use to survive. You know for kids?
I really like this conspirator! So energetic and cheerful
It's been forever since I've seenThe Little Brave Toaster as a kid, I might watch it again sometime. Happy Thanksgiving!
I loved this movie as a kid. Still do.
MadamFoogie same
Because of this video, I love it even more.
Now the question is... Is Watership Down for kids. it has a good death count, asphyxiation, and a scene where a dog urinates, i could go on.
Love this video. Thank you for being straightforward about the dark plots without making things negative. This is one of my all time favourites, and it really irks me when people try to tear into it just for being dark. I also love that you brought up how it isn't a Disney movie, because I keep having to explain this to people myself. I greatly appreciate you siting Jerry Rees throughout the video, as many videos on this movie seem to ignore him entirely. Fun fact, though, about the movie being rated G: if you look on the back cover, it shows that the movie itself has no rating, which means it was never actually assigned one by the MPAA. Interestingly enough, I'm actually internet friends with Jerry Rees, and have been for several years now. He's a really nice guy, and actually helped with a college speech I wrote about the movie a couple of years ago. He also emailed me a photocopy of the master picture when I was in High School, which I still have framed to this day. Sorry to be so wordy on here, I just have an undying love for this movie, but you get the picture. Thank you again, and have a lovely day. :)
Oh, shoot, I forgot I left this comment! 🤦♀️
whats the password to the laptop in gravity falls?
Origami Lives Stanford
Smile more, why stanford? why would mcgucket make a password that he would potentially remember the trauma of the portal
Gullible.
JakeSpacePirate E, if i were gullible, id say 'Ya, that makes sense!', im just making sure he's being serious or not
It was confirmed at a Russian event I think that it's stanford
That junkyard scene has NOTHING To The scrapyards in Thomas The Tank Engine! The engines get CUT UP, MELTED, and then are USED FOR OTHER ENGINES. In one story, an engine is TOOK APART, PEICE BY PEICE, seeing other engines getting repaired with his parts and going on, UNTIL NOTHING WAS LEFT! That was only in the books, which I’m not surprised wasn’t adapted for the show.
EldTrainboy Thomas and co must be thraumatized
It Would be messed up If The Scarp trains gets crushed by the Crusher.
What are you going on about
Omgggg I used to watch this movie all the time when I was younger
Same
I remember that junkyard scene, it disturbed me when I was younger and I couldn’t figure out why. It makes more sense now.
Serah Highwind me too
There was 12 MURDERED INANIMATE OBJECTS IN A G RATED KIDS FILM
Panda Vlogs Gameplay the cars the Blender the air conditioner
The air conditioner didn't die. He is shown to be alive at the end.
Also, "Oh no! the movie has some intense moments in it!" Give kids a bit more credit, they are not all sheltered, pampered babys.
The movie basically teaches you that everything has an end and everyone has to go sometimes. But that doesn't mean you should give up on life, be brave and enjoy the time we have been given on earth, even if bad things happen and don't let others (the modern appliances) tell you otherwise. And that's a great message, even for kids.
I wish Pixar's "Cars" movies would have a junkyard scene.
Yeah
Cars was originally going to have McQueen crash off a road and end up in a junkyard place full of dead cars and he'd try to escape but keep driving into mangled car remains, they scrapped it because it was deemed "too intense for kids"
@@hazbinotakusimp2182 heh, call back too Toy Story 3!?
Exactly. This stuff was normal in kids movies up until somewhat recently. Didn't stop any of us from loving it all. Yeah, it had some intense scenes, the air conditioner definitely shook me up a bit. But it just made things all the more memorable and exciting. Life is stressful and scary sometimes, you gotta experience it as a kid. I think animators and filmmakers knew that back then.
ASSEMBLE!!!!! :D
That little squeak though! 0:09 ❤😄
Oh realx. Its just a squeek u ididot.
Was I the only one that thought this was gonna get into religion in some way? XD
Oh yeah. The parts guy's last name is Dr.Peter on accident.lol
ADVENTURE PLANET PICTURES lol
It’d make sense. They feel like they’ve been abandoned by their master (whom they practically see as a god) and they go on an adventure to reach said master in hopes that he really does care about them. What they don’t realize is that the only reason he even comes for them later is that he’s too cheap to replace them. Their god doesn’t actually care about them. The only thing that ruins that idea is when he goes out of his way to fix the toaster at the end. I feel like it would have been a better film if the toaster died at the end, sacrificing himself for his master who doesn’t know and doesn’t care.
....cause of sausage party?
Something isn't suddenly not a kid show just because it isn't meant for kids of this generation or just because adults find it disturbing. Take The Animals Of Farthing Wood, it's a kid's cartoon with gore and death. But, since it came out in 1993 it's a kid's show for the kids of the past. I get what you're saying at the end, but you can't tell me that the imagery of "The Brave Little Toaster" Wasn't meant for children, when the book itself was intended for children. Obviously the creators know this.
Take Zootopia, Disney isn't thinking "Wow we better make a dumb child show for children" As their only thought for making an animated movie. They seek to invest the audience, and to do that you can't just invest in humoring a child. Bambi has the death of a mother, a disturbing scene that many kids wont even understand or relate with, does this suddenly make it to adult for children? What about the appliances getting taken apart? To disturbing? No. It's only disturbing if you THINK to hard on it. kid's are looking at it emotionally not thinking "Oh this appliance is getting taken apart it's basically appliance gore!" It's growing UP that makes these things so much more horrifying because we relate it to messed up things we've already seen. A kid doesn't.
Yeah we don't yet have the life experience at that age to notice these things or feel the same way. It's not half as real yet.
No. The reason it’s not a kids movie is because the filmmakers have straight up said that they didn’t make it for kids. The intentions of the filmmakers and who they intended a movie to be for isn’t subjective if they have confirmed it.
Also just because a film had child friendly imagery or is based on a children’s book doesn’t mean that it’s automatically for children. A book and movie are two separate entities and there is no rule that a film adaptation has to always be for the same audience as it’s source material. And pretty much every cartoon has child friendly imagery and bright colors including the objectively adult cartoons. So your argument that it must be for children because of the imagery is pretty weak.
I remember watching the brave little toaster when I was a small little child! But I only really remember clearly the junk yard scene and the part where the owNEr ALmOsT FReaKiNG DIES! ya defiantly NOT a Kids film.
I remember watching this with a friend as a kid. During the junkyard scene she just noped off somewhere.
Why does the background of this video remind me of the Chadtronic shirt?
Creepy Jar of Money Because it's blue?
The song "Worthless" is amazingly haunting.
For those who haven't looked far into the lyrics. Two cars seemed to have a connected story. The first being the yellow car with the horns
"Once took a Texan to a wedding
He kept forgetting, his loneliness letting
His thoughts turn to home and we turned"
And then the hearse immediately after saying
"I took a man to a graveyard
I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough
Just living with the stuff I have learned."
Implying a man was on his way to his wedding, but maybe had some kind of affair beforehand and committed suicide by driving over the edge of the road over his guilt. That being the stuff the car learned that he now has to live with.
And why people think the stories are connected is because of them being crushed together in the compactor where every other car in the song is crushed individually.
Moonlight150 and the red car die brutally
This was my favorite movie as a kid, but it made me terrified of junk yards for years.
Too this day every time I drive by a junkyard I think of this movie.
Jade Gourley so true
The junkyard scene terrified me as a little kid and I don't think I'll ever fully forget it XD
Yes
Is Colossaliscrazy your first special guest in this series?
Juri Puerco well no he just use the clown from the. Movie. As his avatar on UA-cam. Most commentary communities do this all the time .
LinkandLink yeah mine was just a joke
*ALL TOASTERS TOAST TOAST!*
That guy who likes Legos :P *_DO THE MARIO_*
Nice of the princess to invite us to a picnic, eh Luigi?
I remember that I would hide and plug my ears during the scenes where Kirby runs over his cord and the Junkyard. Even now, as someone who’s knocking on 30’s door, I get scared when I vacuum that I’ll run over the cord. That magnet from the junkyard would haunt me. I’d have nightmares about it chasing me. My family would play this movie for me all the time though.
SloppyOkapi the magnet is a monster
And to take it to a whole new level. The Junk Yard scene: Thats the end results of Pixar: CARS.......
I only have good memories of this movie.
The good ones always do
From the AC kicking the bucket to the junkyard scene with all the cars accepting their deaths. Even when they're in the creepy shop, but that didn't bother me much now as much as it did when I was a kid.
R.I.P AC, Flower, Blender, Cars from the junkyard
Yeah
Now that we've laid out the evidence... IS this a movie for kids?
YES! Yes it is! I watched this movie all the time when I was a kid, so much so that when my house was broken into and the thief made off with are fancy-schmancy new VCR, I was apparently heart-broken because my copy of the movie was still in it at the time it was stolen. (I say "apparently" since that's how my folks tell the story. I was too young for me to actually remember any of this.) This is quality filmmaking, and other kids movies need to take notes from it. Just because it's for kids doesn't mean it has to be stupid or dumbed down. Respect your child audience's collective intelligence, and your child audience will respect you in kind and forever remember you as a CLASSIC.
*mic drop*
This movie didn't have a theatrical release? It was straight-to-video?? O_O Holy crap... Ladies & gentlemen, I give you... _the greatest straight-to-video movie ever made!_
My childhood mind had repressed the memory of the scene where the guy takes apart the blender.
Dude, that video had my eyes wide open when you guys mentioned how dark the movie really was. Ironically I grew up with that movie. It’s a classic and I never really thought how dark it is or how it’s not a Disney movie. Thanks for the great video.
The effing Air Conditioner commits suicide in the first ten minutes.
Just blame Freon.....not the gas, the bloostorm character
Kaizo Audio and this green car
Why am I getting a flood of repressed memories about a movie about a toaster.
The brave little toaster terrifyed me as a child
This movie will always remind me of the class full of kids yelling "Where did the chair go!?" and "How did the chair come back!?"
Chair continuity was important to my classmates.
The book had an explanation for Kirby having a seizure? What was it? I figured he was just scared of water or something, and it was the equivalent of chewing your own fingernails.
The junkyard sequence drove me straight into tears as a kid.
My girls and I loved this movie! And I had no problem with some of the questionable scenes because I think too many people are ending up narcissistic in today's society. I would give some brief explanation that emphasized empathy and sympathy. Like the toaster jumping into the gear part. Both my girls are grown up now. Their character development turned out excellent. My granddaughter is, I swear to God, the sweetest child I've ever met. I'll admit at times I do ask myself, how did my kid raise this child so well!? Haha! I am just glad she did and they have the Brave Little Toaster on their video shelf.
I LOVE THIS GIRL SO MUCH! You're so energetic, yet... I don't know how to describe you. You're just perfect for these!
But it's great for kids, I loved this and other intense movies as a 4-5 year old, or somewhere around that age. I had pretty thick skin due to films like this one. Kids get to learn some of the harsher things in life in ways they might understand a little better in this format. Think of the older Don Bluth movies like All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Land Before Time, or even more dark, An American Tail. They had some of the harshest events in the main characters life happen but not so much that it was ever unhealthy to view as a child.
yeah I loved Land Before Time and An American Tail as well as this one :)
Very well done! Wow, this movie, like much of my childhood, is another part of a world that I didn't understand, but was fascinated by. I really like the way you go back and find the context behind my memories.
This movie it's scary!
For a sec, I thought that the air conditioner was Doc Hudson from Cars
Gosh, this cartoon has make me an old stuff hoarder! Now my room is filled with old film cameras, am radios, cassette players and other similar stuff.
"I'm ready to ruin your childhood"
I'm sorry madam you're a good seven years too late. Hahahahahahahahahaha! *Cries internally*
I remember watching this movie all the time as a kid - but haven't seen it in ages. And I didn't realize it till now just how dark it was.
The rose, the clown, the appliance store, the cars on the conveyor... So many traumatizing moments to choose from!!
I havent seen this movie in a long time. But i remember being really freaked out by the scene in the scrap shop.
(And the clowns too. That should go withouy saying)
"You think I'm joking,role the tittle card I'm ready to ruin child hood!" That graze made me Laugh Out Loud
I saw colossaliscrazy's avatar in the little toaster trailer

Please do 107 facts about Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi
Best analysis I have seen on this movie! This was the one movie I always watched as a kid (mind you a 5 and 6 year old me) along with Ferngully the last rainforest. The junk yard scene frightened me so much the more I watched it that I visibly squirmed in my seat when my parents drove past junk yards.... lol. That magnet machine as well as Hexus were the two "vilians" growing up that actually gave me full on fear compared to any animated film I have ever watched.... and that's a lot.... lol. Love this video! :3 ❤
I watched this for the first time last year. Im 22 now, and after watching this i still thought, " i loved it. And its disturbing" lol
Huh, now I remember where I got my strange fear of in wall air conditioners from...
I watched this movie when I was like.. 7? It was the most *terrifying* thing I ever watched as a kid and I haven't watched it since
Yay!! I'm glad Arielle is staying!!! She's so dorky and funny!! Congratulations Arielle!!!! ^.^
