That animator was John Lasseter, who sought to combine 2-D characters on a computer background in-house at Disney. Disch, was originally a vehicle for a young animator's directorial debut. This film, based from the novella by Thomas M. Along the way, they learn to deal with their differences and band together to get home. Their journey includes the stuff of adventure including appliance mutilation at a parts shop, a waterfall, evil modern appliances, and a sadistic junkyard magnet. Fed up with waiting, Toaster decides its time for them to set out toward the 'City of Light' to find him.

In an isolated summer cabin, five anthropomorphic household appliances (a toaster, a vacuum, a desk lamp, a radio, and an electric blanket) wait forlornly in anticipation for the return of 'The Master,' a little boy whom they formed a bond with before his '2,000 day' disappearance with his family.

Thanks to its smart writing, near-perfect direction, a glowing voice cast, and not half-bad animation, TBLT is cooked to the right shade of entertainment. The Brave Little Toaster is a gem of creativity from a team of Disney animators independently of their corporate masters which never got the release it so richly deserves.

Sometimes there comes a film that falls under the radar, despite earning positive reviews from many important critics. Cooked to the right shade of entertainment.
