Le Petit Grille-pain courageux : Objectif Mars

When I first saw this movie, I felt it was not very good at all: a thin plot, new characters with no introduction, and so on.

But then I saw Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue. If you watch Rescue between the original film and this one, then this one makes a lot more sense.

THIS movie is a ROLLERtoaster of electrifying songs, enlightening LIFE lessons, and mind-zapping use of LANGUAGE, which WILL envelope YOUR heart in a warm, comforting embrace of emotion. The CHARACTERS are merry and bright with a HINT of cheddar flavouring. I'm a BIG FAN of this movie because it was LITERALLY cinematic PERFECTION.

The first time I watched this movie, it was in my dad's basement in complete darkness. He had abandoned me to watch baseball or something, and I was terrified. This movie quickly became my new dad.

I have cried only twice in my life. The first time was when I lost my 1992 Captain America collector's card. The second was when I heard the gripping story of WonderLuxe appliances.

If you need something to fill the void in your soul, and you've already found Jesus, watch "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars."

Let me just say that the original "the Brave Little Toaster" is *still* one of the most charming animated features I've ever seen. It is, by turns, adorable, funny, sweet, and thrilling, and it didn't surprise me at all that some of its production team went on to produce "Toy Story", another one of my favorites.

With all that said, this sequel has some really big circuits to fill. It is a big disapointment. It's cute but instantly forgettable, and while the first movie had fantastic music (the score is one of the most hauntingly beautiful I've ever heard for an animated film), the songs in this outing will *really* make your toes curl. As if that wasn't enough to insult us fans of the original movie, for some reason they didn't think we'd notice that Radio has a different voice and that Chris and Computer have been totally redesigned (for the worse). What does it say that the best part of the video is the preview for "Kiki's Delivery Service"? Go watch that movie instead.

I love the first Brave Little Toaster, and saw both its sequels The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue and The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. Both are rather bland in comparison, but both are watchable unlike some of the other animated sequels I've seen.

Its problems are actually similar to the first sequel's. It is too short, and the story is rather predictable and rushed despite the quite nice ending. The songs are on the forgettable and unnecessary side too, the one at the beginning especially is the epitome of sap. Also it is lacking the eerie yet compelling, touching quality the original has.

However, apart from some characters being re-designed and looking rather strange and off-model, the animation is not too bad. The backgrounds are decent enough as are the colours. The writing isn't as strong, but there are some humorous and poignant ones which I appreciated. The characters are still likable, and the voice actors do do very well, even the new-comers and replacements.

All in all, a bland sequel, but not a bad one. 5/10 Bethany Cox

This animated, feature-length "Kiddie" film is definitely cute-cute-cute, but, then again, it certainly could have been a whole lot better, too.

Of course, all of your favorite electrical appliances are here, including - Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Kirby, and Blanky - And this tale is to be their bravest adventure yet.

Robbie, the master's baby, has been mysteriously beamed up to Mars. It's now up to our heroes, plus a houseful of new friends, like a fan, and a microwave, to reach the stars and bring the little tyke safely back home to Earth.

This is a delightful, little tale that overflows with friendship and courage.

So, get ready for a fun-filled mission with the brave, little Toaster, and all of his cool friends!
