The Brave Little Toaster: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: In the book, the new appliances that Toaster and the others meet in Rob's apartment aren't nearly as mean as they are in the movie. They are actually quite helpful, aiding the old appliances in finding a new owner, and even a little guilty about their part in the replacement of the old appliances.

* [[Adorkable]]: Rob and Lampy both fit this description to a tee!

* [[All Animation Is Disney]]: ''Distributed'' by Disney. ''Actually'' made by Hyperion Pictures.

{{quote|'''Lampy''': Hey, come over here. I'm gonna...

'''Radio''': Why, do you dare to cross foils with the greatest Saxon swordsman in the land? Haven't you the slightest idea who you're dealing with?

'''Radio''': A blow for Richard! A blow for Marion! A blow for Mario, the garbage man! And for Carl and all the boys at the delicatessen! And here's one for the guys on 5th street! }}

* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]: Type 1.

* [[Captain Obvious]]/[[Sarcasm Blind]]: Lampy, when Air Conditioner denies laughing at them.

{{quote|'''Lampy:''' I think he was laughing at us.

'''Lampy:''' Oh thanks! ([[Beat]]) "Heeeeeyy...." }}

* [[Cool Car]]: The red car (people are split as to whether its a Corvette or a Plymouth Superbird that's been rear-ended) during "Worthless".

* [[Forced to Watch]]: The most logical reason for why the lamp, the only appliance in the junk shop not clearly abused/reassembled, is as insane as the rest. He got to ''help'' with most or all of the other ones. And he's a ''light'', so he had a good view...

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: [[Pixar|A113]] is on an apartment door.

* [[French Jerk]]: The food processor in "Cutting Edge". Also, implied to be a [[Supreme Chef]].

** Would also be [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]], if it weren't [[Just a Stupid Accent]].

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: During the "Its a B-Movie" sequence, there are disembodied cords that drag characters away into the darkness.

* [[Not So Stoic]]: When Kirby is finally all alone. He doesn't handle it well, to say the least.

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: The air conditioner.

** Technically a TWO Scene Wonder where the Master fixes him up.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Radio suggests going [[North by Northwest]] while trying to find the city.

* [[Space Does Not Work That Way]]: Expected in ''The Brave Little Toaster [[Recycled in Space|Goes to Mars]]''. But then it's a kids' movie, and they ''are'' appliances.

* [[Staggered Zoom]]

* [[Stealth Pun]]: There is a talking faucet in ''The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars.'' See "[[Hey, It's That Voice!]]" on the Trivia tab.

* [[You're Just Jealous]]: The air conditioner ridicules Toaster and the others for their optimism that their Master/Rob will come back one day. Toaster thinks its just a defense mechanism to hid the fact he's jealous of them because the Master never gave him much love as them. At first he denies it, but when Kirby points out he's stuck in a wall, his repressed rage kills him. ({{spoiler|He's repaired later in the movie, though.}})

** His ''real'' repressed rage was that The Master never played with him because he was too high on the wall. [[Faux Symbolism|What Do You Mean It's Not Symbolic?]]

** Played straight with the appliances in the appartment Rob lives in. Though some of them are functionaly timeless, their 1980's designs have a more zeerust feel by modern standards. They are currently in the uncanny valley of design, essentially. It doesn't help their case that they chant about being on the [[Hilarious in Hindsight|cutting-edge]]. In song, no less!

*** [[Fridge Brilliance|Seeing as the movie is all about things being obsolete]], one could say [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOWUgioSvsE Cutting Edge] ages like fine wine.
