This 40-year-old man willingly put on The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. I always had this on my Disneycember list, but it always had to get bumped back because something else would come out that I thought just made more sense to review.
#Movies like the brave little toaster series
For years, I've been so interested in seeing how the hell this very small, innocent series goes from a little toaster and some appliances trying to find their human master to going to a fucking different planet somehow.

You can also share the article or hit me up an email with your thoughts, it’s nice to hear from other fans.(The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars)ĭoug (vo): You ever watch a movie you checked out simply because of the title? Like, you know deep down, it's probably gonna be bad, but the title is just so strange, you have to know what happens in it? The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars is that for me. If you enjoyed the article or have any thoughts let me know by commenting below or by tweeting at me. The trilogy is definitely worth a watch if you’re a fan and if you aren’t then watch the original film and you’ll become a fan. We also see the relationship of Rob the master and his girlfriend Chris evolve from a couple, to getting married and having a child, hell we even get to see them together in bed which doesn’t seem like something Disney likes to acknowledge too much on other properties. It’s nice to see the theme of becoming obsolete being touched. I’m guessing they tried to start a direct to home video movie franchise but they quit after only two which was probably good since I don’t think the quality of the stories would’ve remained strong.Overall the trilogy is much better than I would’ve ever thought, the original film is as good as I remembered it and the two sequels are far from DTV fodder you would’ve expected. The movie doesn’t match the original but it’s already a little better than the previous one and it’s also not bad despite it’s awful sounding plot. While there are no talking animals for the most part we do have two returning characters from the previous film. The movie does win you over in the end though and while it’s only continuing the idea of obsolete things, it continues to expand on them and even bring up terms like planned obsolesce which not many movies or shows bring up outside of documentaries so it’s great to see it here. I can’t say I liked this idea too much at first, especially with all the liberties they’ve taken to get there including the adventures of the baby of their master.
While the Going to Mars might seem like a jump the shark idea, it’s actually being faithful to the source material. We only had to way a year later in 1998 this time for another sequel that was based on the second and last novel. As generic as the movie may be I can’t say it’s horrible as I originally thought and prepared for so I guess it’s a decent story if you’re itching for more Brave Little Toaster Canon.
The movie also brought talking animals into the universe which I think was a bit unnecessary so while it was a subplot I think they could’ve done something else as a lot of time is taken to establish all these new animal characters and fit them in the plot. You’d think with ten years they would’ve had a great plot for this film but it’s mostly the same theme of being obsolete but this time modernizing it with computers. This is the only of the three movies not based on an actual novel but then again I think all movies took plenty of liberties so it doesn’t matter. It wasn’t until ten years later in 1997 that the movie got a sequel and because of that I guess I never even realized it.
