History YMMV / TheBraveLittleToaster

* RuinedFOREVER: see AndTheFandomRejoiced above.

* VindicatedByCable

** "It's a B Movie" in spades!

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: The response to the Jerry Rees and Deanna Oliver's interview where they talked about a new CGI/3D sequel. However, discussing the act of turning a traditionally animated film into CGI [[InternetBackdraft can]] [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks incite]] [[RuinedForever anger]] among [[FanDumb certain people.]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: Watch ToyStory3, and then watch The Brave Little Toaster. See any similarities?[[hottip:*:EVERYTHING!]] Several people who worked on this film [[HilariousInHindsight would later be integral at]] {{Pixar}}, like John Lasseter and Joe Ranft.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire soundtrack. Specifically, the bass lines in some of the songs. If you listen closely to some parts of "Worthless" and "B-Movie" (most notably) you can hear spontaneous little bass riffs that just make it THAT much better when you hear it.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The entire soundtrack. Specifically, the bass lines in some of the songs. If you listen closely to some parts of "Worthless" and "B-Movie" (most notably) you can hear spontaneous little bass riffs that just make it THAT much better when you hear it.

** At one point the movie successfully pulls off a BLAM (The lonely flower) ''within'' a BLAM (the meadow scene). One could argue that this may not qualify as a BLAM; it causes Toaster to realize what could happen if a person truly starved of company or affection is rejected. Granted, the result of death is quite extreme, but the scene's purpose is not lost; Toaster begins to behave kinder to Blanky.

* FunnyAneursymMoment: One scene in "Cutting Edge" featured a plane crashing through a building, saying "ACTUAL SIMULATION".

** Mr. Tandy, meet Mr. iMac!
*** Mrs. Phone, meet Mr. Blackberry!

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The song "Cutting Edge" is a pretty blatant StealthParody of the consumer culture of the 1980s. [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Given the kind of people that particular avenue spawned....]]
** In the ''novel'' version of ''The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars'', the main villain was an ancient hearing aid created by [[spoiler: Albert Einstein,]] who went insane after being used by a Nazi party member, then escaped to Mars, inhabited a giant refrigerator, and amassed an army of [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Populux"]] appliances ("Wonderluxe" in the movie), with the goal of returning to Earth and killing all the humans in revenge for planned obsolescence schemes. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Seriously.]]
*** Wait, you mean the sequel was ''BladeRunner'' with appliances?
**** And it became an animated movie as well.

* TheWoobie: Blanky, appropriately enough.
** All of them really.
** JerkassWoobie: Air Conditioner. Even with his initial smug attitude, it's hard not to pity him after seeing his insecurities of immobility get to him. And then we see him tear up after the Master repairs him.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one point the movie successfully pulls off a BLAM (The lonely flower) ''within'' a BLAM (the meadow scene).
** The lonely flower may not qualify as a BLAM; it causes Toaster to realize what could happen if a person truly starved of company or affection is rejected. Granted, the result of death is quite extreme, but the scene's purpose is not lost; Toaster begins to behave kinder to Blankey.
*** This troper also saw a bit of symbolism in that scene. The constant push towards technology is leading less people to care about nature, and when the two meet, it doesn't end well for nature.
** There's a rather egregious one in ''The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars'' when the appliances meet a group of balloons who floated away from Earth.
*** That scene was actually in the book, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen and wasn't]] a BLAM: Toaster and Crew picked up a balloon that helped them navigate their "spacecraft" and told them some of the Mars Appliances' backstory.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The entire soundtrack
** Specifically, the bass lines in some of the songs. If you listen closely to some parts of "Worthless" and "B-Movie" (most notably) you can hear spontaneous little bass riffs that just make it THAT much better when you hear it.

* EarWorm: Hands. That. Gave us flight! Hands too little to hold on tight! Now we float forever, in and out ooOOoof ''sight!''

** The DVD to the first movie is very poorly done video-wise. The picture is very grainy and the screen jitters back and forth through the entire movie, as if it was played on a projector. It's sad when most VHS tapes look better than this version.

** If the song that all the computers sing about 'the super highway' doesn't count as a BLAM then I don't know what does.

* HilariousInHindsight: "''[[TheEighties We]]'' are on the cutting edge."

* AdaptationDisplacement: Not everyone remembers the Disch book this was based on.

* AnimationAgeGhetto: This was the animated film that started the recovery from it. They hired a composer with complex instrumentation (David Newman), they included jokes that only parents would catch, the film never pandered to its audience, and it was SeriousBusiness for the animators. Furthermore, this was the film that Pixar sprung out of, including John Lassiter and Joe Ranft. You might notice Lampy resembles a certain animation house mascot, too. It's all in the OST linear notes as well as later interviews of the people involved with the project.

* NightmareFuel: Has such a ridonkulous amount, it now has a [[NightmareFuel/TheBraveLittleToaster full page to itself]].

** JerkassWoobie: Air Conditioner. Even with his initial smug attitude, it's hard not to pity him after seeing his insecurities of immobility get to him.

** It's a B Movie in spades! This troper is absolutely addicted to this same song after nearly 20 years!

* TearJerker: If the flower scene does not tug a few heartstrings, than you probably have none.
** What's really astounding is that they managed to set up a TearJerker in [[MoodWhiplash ''less than sixty seconds'']]. Seriously (And it is a major, major TearJerker, especially if it's your first time watching the movie and don't know it's coming).
** A lot of the old cars' stories in "Worthless" can tug on the heart strings. For some reason, this troper gets a little teary whenever he hears the Indy-500 race-car's verse.
*** "I must confess, I'm impressed how I did it/I wonder how close that I came"
