''The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue'' is the 1997 direct-to-video sequel to ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster''. Oddly, while it was released to the UK in 1997, it wasn't released to the USA until 1999 (after ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToasterGoesToMars'' in 1998). It is also the only film in the series not to be based on a preexisting Thomas M. Dische book.

* WritersCannotDoMath: Wittgenstein said he was down there for 4,999,450,852,312 nanoseconds, or "since that awful day when transistors were invented." The thing is, the number he gives is only about 83 minutes, and considering that the internet's already invented, this really makes the gap between the two dates really doesn't feel like only an hour. To be fair, he was malfunctioning at the time.
