Brave Little Toaster - It's a B-Movie

[@unicornman147]

Two things you gotta absorb here. 1. These appliances are basically Frankensteinian abominations to our heroes, body horror to the max, and they're singing about how they had to give in to the madness of their situation to avoid a complete psychological breakdown, because there's no escape from it. 2. And somehow, it's still not the darkest song in this movie.

[@valiensr1037]

Well of course it’s not the darkest. When one song is called “Worthless” and is about giving in to despair, any competition has its work cut out for it 🤣

[@haydrionslaughter8900]

The scary part of all this is that the machines have in a way gone off the deep end and just accepted their fate. They even see it as a funny thing to ponder, their eventual dismemberment and/or their unavoidable demise. And the fact they have given up the idea of escaping to the point of preventing others from escaping is rather shudder-worthy.

HOW WAS THIS A KIDS MOVIE

[@13wolfy13]

Apparently it was originally intended for older kids. I mean. Think Coraline aged kids. Don Bluth said it right. You can show a kid anything so long as it has a happy ending. It's even a little healthy to scare them. To a reasonable degree.

[@jamesbrice3267]

Terry Pratchett called it the lobster pot effect.

[@nobodyxdel2390]

Imagine this in a human experimentation lab, and the people that are singing have extra surgically attached body parts. And the guy who said "you should just hang around" actually uses a noose, but since of his extra limbs, or something, he can't die. And the machine with a can opener, razor and lamp, laughs about her extra parts and dies with a smile on her face(s)

[@StarryOak76]

It's funny that it took me until just now, age 24, that "It ain't home on the range" being sung by the oven is a pun, as it's itself a range, a combination stove and oven!

Loved this song as a kid, and still do as an adult. I especially love the harmony during the "There goes the sun, here comes the night. Somebody turn on the lights" part of the song. That's where Thurl Ravenscroft (Kirby) really shines as the bass! This song, Worthless and Cutting Edge are my favorite songs of the movie. Although I would have to say this song, and Cutting Edge are very underrated. Anyone can hear "Worthless" and immediately think of this movie, while "It's a B-Movie Show" and "Cutting Edge" are usually overlooked. Such a shame. I would say in terms of "creepy Disney songs", this one is more underrated than "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I jammed out to this song as a kid

[@RavenStarMedia]

As a kid, I didn't know the lyrics to this song. Looking back on it all these years later, I realized one line of it that can be taken as infinitely darker outside of the context of the film: "You just tell St. Pete that you've got cold feet." In the context of the film, they're referring to Elmo St. Peter and how they don't want to make made into amalgamations of what they used to be. Without the film's context, it could refer to St. Peter, the guy who supposedly waits at the gates of heaven, and it can turn into meaning being afraid to die. Overall dark song, but I love it.

[@isanelseem3057]

I always thought it meant that they'd lie to Elmo so he'd let them out. :)

The lamp is Phil Hartman doing a Peter Lorre impression.

[@tylersparkle5870]

Melissa Miller He did. Tim Stack did the desk lamp. Phil Hartman did the green one hanging from the ceiling.

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

Listening to the hanging lamp is how I learned to do a Peter Lorre impression (especially after realizing that Phil was doing a Peter Lorre impression). It makes me wonder if Phil would've voiced the Looney Tunes Peter Lorre if he had a chance, or this one minor villain in episode two of "The Tick" titled "The Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale" who looks and (almost) sounds exactly like Peter Lorre.

For all intents and purposes, Brave Little Toaster IS a Disney movie. It wasn't made at Disney studios though. It was made on a budget with a group of voice actors and comedians who had worked together before. It was debuted at Sundance film festival or something where Disney bought the rights to it. Incidentally, a lot of the animators on this ended up founding Pixar or working for Disney anyway.

I never got the dark theme as a kid, but when I re-watched as an adult, I was like woah. I love how this film is so overlooked while Toy Story 3 is considered a masterpiece. Now dont get me wrong, I love both Brave Little Toaster and the Toy Storys, yet this film is much darker. Toys can last forever, appliances literally die and become "worthless" later on. So the concept here really is genius.

The voice of the green lamp (Peter Lorre-ish) is performed by the late, great Phil Hartman (SNL, Simpsons, News Radio). The late Thurl Ravenscroft voiced the vacuum. He's also famous for voicing Tony the Tiger and singing "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" . Deanna Oliver, who is a Groundlings alumni, voiced the Toaster. Actor and SNL alumni Jon Lovitz voiced the radio. Joe Ranft (RIP) and John Lasseter of Pixar had a hand in making this movie. Some of the panning shots animated were experimented by early early Pixar when they did test animation for "Where the Wild Things Are" .

Listening to this song on the last day of September 2023. It just showed up in my recommendations, I liked the Worthless song a long time ago but haven't watched it in a long time. Hearing this song again, fucking hell it's phenomenal, the dark imagery, the dark undertones of the lyrics, I watched this movie a lot as a kid but never really appreciated how great the songs were. I love the genius of calling the song it's a B movie and having it be old horror movie themed. If there's one thing I will forever enjoy about KZbin it's that it's helped keep memories like these around. Suddenly I'm a kid again, watching this on TV and later watching either Homeword Bound 1 or 2. Maybe I'm playing a SNES game I rented. Sometimes or at least I'd wager a lot of times, people just desperately want to remember far better times and videos like these help provide just a momentary gateway.
