#THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER CITY OF LIGHT MOVIE#
But not since Toy Story have I really loved a kid's movie as much as BLT. For example, I loved Finding Nemo, as well as Shrek (not Shrek 2) and a few others. And when I speak of good children's movies I don't mean things like Teletubbies which can mesmerize a two-year old I mean movies that I can still watch today and adore. This movie came out the year I was born and I've still not seen a better children's movie. What happened to amazing movies like The Brave Little Toaster? And I am not being sarcastic at all. This film is infinitely better than other Disney films like "The Little Mermaid" and that sort of claptrap.
#THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER CITY OF LIGHT TV#
This film is mostly for kids, but I think it has plenty of stuff to keep the adults awake, especially "Rabbit Ears", the black & white TV guy (look closely at some of the pictures he pulls out of the file cabinet). And if they do find it frightening, then it's a good way to discuss the things that scare them. There are several disturbing scenes but I think many kids will find it intriguing more than scary. While this is a fantasy about appliances, it is also a film about loyalty, companionship, and even fear. That's why we can never find anything! Seems like a lot of people who have posted here have made one of two mistakes: 1) They have forgotten that children's minds have not yet been clobbered into creative submission like adults', or 2) The adults didn't watch the movie before plunking their kids down in front of the TV and going back to regrouting the tub.
Of *course* the appliances get up and walk around as soon as we turn our backs. This film captures that sort of mindset wonderfully. Because never again will their minds be able to dwell within and without the fantasy world.
My young nieces are just starting to grow out of that stage, which is sort of sad to me. When I was a little kid, my imagination was a dynamo of activity.
