Although this tends to lead to a rather bizarre view of anthropomorphic appliances – computers and fax machines that act like dancing dogs, the apparent inter-connectedness of all electrical systems, and the notion that a computer virus is something that infects a computer with old age.

Now in has come the idea of updating The Brave Little Toaster to incorporate the changes wrought by the internet era. As such, these early scenes prove somewhat banal.

There is a hissable villain, songs, a contrived rescue plot and a host of talking animals that have to be saved from being sent to their fate in experimentation labs. The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue conforms a good deal more to the standard children’s animation formula than The Brave Little Toaster did. Toaster (voiced by Denna Oliver) and Ratso the Rat (voiced by Andy Milder) Both were filmed back-to-back, employing several of the voice talents from the original in the same continuing parts.

The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue was the first of the Brave Little Toaster sequels produced by Kushner-Locke and was followed by The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (1997). Although it was not a financial success, it clearly gained enough popularity in subsequent video release to spawn a series of direct-to-video sequels nearly a decade later, a la the likes of other animated films such as An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988) and almost all of Disney’s back product during this period. The Brave Little Toaster (1987), an animated picaresque concerning a group of talking appliances, was a delightful and charming children’s adventure.
