The Brave Little Toaster

The Brave Little Toaster is the best cartoon movie that was ever made. It is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. It makes me cry every time I see it, but the sad part is I haven't seen it in...uh a really long time. If you haven't seen it, well here is the plot of the story, sorry to spoil the adventurous fun movie.

Five appliances — a radio (Radio), a lamp (Lampy), an electric blanket (Blanky), a vacuum cleaner (Kirby), and a toaster (Toaster) — wake up and await their "Master", a child whom they have not seen for many years, with a growing sense of abandonment. When a car stops at the cabin and turns out to be a real estate broker placing a "for sale" sign, the appliances spiral into despair. The paranoid air conditioner is provoked into overheating and short-circuits. Unable to accept that the Master would abandon them, Toaster decides to head out and find the Master. The group rigs up a car battery to an office chair pulled by Kirby and set out into the world, following the Radio's signal from the City of Light.

During their travels from the cabin to the big city, the appliances have many harrowing adventures: they come across a colorful meadow where a flower mistakes its reflection in Toaster's chrome plating as another of its kind, then wilts when the Toaster rejects its advances. Toaster has a nightmare in which he is attacked by an evil clown. A violent storm in the middle of the night blows Blanky up into the trees, and Lampy risks his life by using himself as a lightning rod to recharge the group's dead battery. After recovering Blanky, the group tries to cross a waterfall, only to fall in and wash up downstream where they become hopelessly lost.

Having lost the office chair and battery, the group resorts to pulling the disabled vacuum cleaner through the swamp. After almost drowning in quicksand, they are rescued by Elmo St. Peters, the owner of an appliance parts store. At the store they meet a group of partially dismantled or broken appliances, who have given up on hope in favor of B-Movie style horror and insanity. Facing the prospect of being dismantled and sold, the appliances escape and head into the city.

The appliances arrive at the Master's apartment only to discover that they have been replaced by modern Cutting Edge appliances. The group is tossed into the garbage in the hope that the Master will take the newer appliances to college instead. When the Master, who we find out is named Rob, arrives home after failing to find the appliances at the cabin, his black and white television broadcasts advertisements for the garbage dump where the appliances have been taken. Rob decides to go there and buy replacements.

At the dump the appliances watch as several cars, resigned to being Worthless, are picked up by a giant magnetic crane and dropped onto a conveyor belt advancing toward the car crusher, which smashes the cars to death. They attempt to foil the magnetic crane in order to allow Rob to find them. After being thwarted several times, the furious crane picks up Rob himself as well as all of the appliances save Toaster, and drops them on the compactor's conveyor belt. In a climactic act of self-sacrifice, Toaster leaps into the compactor's gears and stops the machine from destroying his friends and Rob. Rob returns to the apartment with all of the appliances in tow, including the now mangled Toaster. Despite his girlfriend Chris' skepticism, he repairs Toaster and takes all of them to college with him.

Wow very long, I saw it when I was little. It is my favorite movie in the whole entire world. I know it seems so childish but its the cutest thing I have ever seen other then The Pagemaster.
