sorry, they call him the Master since I guess they're his slaves? I mean master. So, the movie is about these five appliances who have been waiting for their owner. Now, before I go into how this movie is chains-rattling-in-the-night horrifying, it's probably best to lay down the plot for plot's sake. Seriously, why this didn't clue everyone in that this movie was going to be scary as hell is a mystery scientists will be trying in vain to solve for decades to come.

Invokes a vague sense of ominous doom? Check.

Take away the cutesy title and that image could be the background for any horror movie made ever. For The Brave Little Toaster is in fact a horror movie in disguise as a children's film.Īlthough, to be honest, it's not much of a disguise. One big ploy design to trick you and scar your childhood with nightmares too terrible to behold. Oh, it may superficially look like a children's film with cartoon characters and a cute 'pets/objects try to get home' story but it is all a trick. It doesn't take two movies to build up to it, just throws you straight in.īecause, really, it isn't a children's animated film. You know how the toys in Toy Story 3 haven't been played with for years and are basically just in storage? Well that's how The Brave Little Toaster starts. Instead of lost toys who have to get home, you have a bunch of discarded household appliances who have been waiting patiently and dutifully for years in a family cottage for their owner to return and use/play with them. Now imagine that premise but like ten times more horrifying and you get The Brave Little Toaster.

In the first film of that most perfect of trilogies, some inanimate objects get lost and have to find their way back home before their owner moves away. A couple of articles ago, I stated that a series of movies about inanimate objects that were secretly alive when people weren't looking was the only perfect trilogy in the history of cinema.
