Trivia / The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue

• Celebrity Voice Actor: Comedian Kevin Meaney plays one of the computers.
• Disowned Adaptation: Jerry Rees, director of the first film, had admitted to never having watched this or the other sequel, meaning he doesn't have opinion on the films themselves, but was more disappointed that the labor of love he and his scrappy screw had poured their hearts and souls into ultimately became just another cash-grab.
• The Other Darrin: Deanna Oliver (Toaster), Timothy Stack (Lampy) and Thurl Ravenscroft (Kirby) are the only actors to reprise their roles from the first film. Roger Kabler (Radio), Eric Lloyd (Blanky), Chris Young (Rob) and Jessica Tuck (Chris) replace Jon Lovitz, Timothy E. Day, Wayne Kaatz and Colette Savage, respectively.
• Out of Order: To the Rescue was produced in 1997, and Goes to Mars in 1998; To the Rescue was, indeed, released in 1997... in all but North America, for whatever reason, where its release was delayed for two years. Goes to Mars was still released everywhere, including North America, in 1998. This, understandably, results in confusion among people as to the timeline of the trilogy, as to why the events of what seemed like the third installment took place before the events of what was assumed to be the second installment.
• Playing with Character Type: Eddie Deezen, known for playing the quintessential Hollywood nerd, has a brief appearance as Rob and Chris's friend Charlie, a highly skilled but otherwise well-adjusted computer expert.
• Sequel Gap: Region-specific example. This is the second in the triolgy, so the regions who got it first would have to account for the ten-year gap between it and the first movie.
• Short Run in Peru: Released in everywhere except North America in 1997. North America finally got to see it in 1999, after another sequel had been released.
• Technology Marches On:
  • Kirby insists that he "doesn't do kitty litter" when Chris tries to use him for just that. Indeed, older vacuum models couldn't handle such thick substances, and would easily clog as a result. However, newer brands such as Dyson have been modified to handle (at least small amounts) of cat litter.
  • Try not laughing at the weird pig-like computers. Yes, there were some computer models that looked like this. They were considered embarrassing even for the time.
