The movie doesn’t match the original but it’s already a little better than the previous one and it’s also not bad despite it’s awful sounding plot.

While there are no talking animals for the most part we do have two returning characters from the previous film. The movie does win you over in the end though and while it’s only continuing the idea of obsolete things, it continues to expand on them and even bring up terms like planned obsolesce which not many movies or shows bring up outside of documentaries so it’s great to see it here. I can’t say I liked this idea too much at first, especially with all the liberties they’ve taken to get there including the adventures of the baby of their master. While the Going to Mars might seem like a jump the shark idea, it’s actually being faithful to the source material. We only had to way a year later in 1998 this time for another sequel that was based on the second and last novel. As generic as the movie may be I can’t say it’s horrible as I originally thought and prepared for so I guess it’s a decent story if you’re itching for more Brave Little Toaster Canon.

The movie also brought talking animals into the universe which I think was a bit unnecessary so while it was a subplot I think they could’ve done something else as a lot of time is taken to establish all these new animal characters and fit them in the plot. You’d think with ten years they would’ve had a great plot for this film but it’s mostly the same theme of being obsolete but this time modernizing it with computers. This is the only of the three movies not based on an actual novel but then again I think all movies took plenty of liberties so it doesn’t matter. It wasn’t until ten years later in 1997 that the movie got a sequel and because of that I guess I never even realized it.

Movies like the brave little toaster
