Does anyone know where I can download the four sung songs from the movie? For some reason iTunes doesn't have it and I can't seem to find it anywhere else!! I really don't want to buy the whole CD either. OrangeXenon54 19:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A small record label called Screen Archives Entertainment is selling it. At normal prices and it is the Prospero release, not a bootleg. The have their own website and sell on Amazon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.248.0.235 (talk) 01:42, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Many parents were upset by some of the film's content, which they considered inappropriate or too graphic for children"

What exactly is "many"? This statement needs a source (such as a newspaper article or something). Doubtless SOME parents were upset, but there are always some parents who are upset for some reason, regardless of the film. Is there any proof that MANY were upset?

- Yeah, I felt saddened by the flower. When it thinks it sees another one like it on Toaster, and after Toaster leaves, the flower "cries" by loosing it's pedals. AW man! ;_;

I distantly remember being saddened by this movie, in particular the repair store and junkyard bits listed... :'( Ellisthion 12:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The radio's "cursed whale" line (taken from Moby Dick) is heard on the DVD, but not on Disney's cable airings of the movie as of recent. --Slgrandson (page - messages - contribs) 21:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- When the blanket cries holding that picture on the stairs that really got me when I was a kid...TT_TT

- Six out of eight friends said it scared them as a child. They said things like: "... scared me so bad as a child. I cried.", "It is terrifying!", "... pretty scary ...".

Does anyone think that there should be a seperate article for all the characters and the ones that only appeared in one of the movies be in their own section.Internetcrazy 16:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the Toaster mentioned as genderless and then referreed to as he?65.73.38.225 08:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, appliances are genderless, but it's a cartoon movie and entirely fictional. the fact that Toaster is voiced by a female doesn't prove anything either.Internetcrazy

The Toaster is referred to as "he" in the movie. DragoniteVion 23:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know but in the original book the appliances are genderless.65.173.90.94 (talk) 12:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the movie refers to the Toaster as he, then this article should refer to him as a he. There is a separate page for the book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Epricq (talk • contribs) 03:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The brave little toaster as referenced by a few links and sources was originally called Daniel Bush..please check it out ..references include www.mylittletoaster.net www.bravelittletoaster.com Danyecurry (talk) 13:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was a different flower toaster saw that was loosing it's pedals, because it couldn't find the flower that loved toaster, that's the reason why that other flower loved toaster, because it thought toaster was the other flower. And another thing, The Brave Little Toaster is Disney-Like. Why did someone remove the fact that a new brave little toaster is coming out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.60.7 (talk) 11:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that was fake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.225.38.118 (talk) 04:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw "Starz inside: The Pixar Story" and in it, John Lasseter said he was originally set to direct the Brave Little Toaster and he pitched it as a CGI movie Like Pixar would later do. he was told "The only reason to make it with the computer is if we can do it faster or cheaper" and was then Fired from Disney for it, and the movie was shelved before production picked up with the people who made the final movie. I find it odd that none of this is mentioned here, I think a paragraph should be added to the beginning of "Production" detailing this. User:Demonrin 19:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who keeps changing the names of the songs? The soundtrack CD has the musical numbers as "City of Lights" (with an "S"), "It's a 'B' Movie," "Cutting Edge" and "Worthless." The article has this bogus bit about what the songs are "sometimes called" and claims "City of Lights" is really "City of Light" and "It's a 'B' Movie" is really "B-Movie Show." If there's a source that shows that the soundtrack listing is wrong, I'd like to see it. Hedgemaze (talk) 00:16, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been bugging me for a while so I took the time today to really clean it up, trying to discard a lot of the detail that only really makes for a fan page. Hopefully it really sounds much more like an encylopedic article now! One thing I thought might still be important to add is a note on gender in the movie, how the appliances are "he" and "she" in the film based mostly on the sound of their voices. Even in the novella by Disch, the appliances are occasionally referenced by gender pronouns so I don't think the note in the Comparisons to the book section is entirely accurate. Cheers!

A request was made for the article to be considered for B-class. Looking over the article, I did some minor cleanup (remember to keep contractions out of the article unless they're used in quotes) and rearranged some of the sections. To improve the article to B-class, the article is going to need additional sourcing and expansion. If possible try and find more information about the production section, as well as financial details about the release. The screenshot does not meet the non-free image criteria for inclusion since the movie poster already provides a view of the characters. If you wanted to include a screenshot, perhaps one could be added that illustrates one of the controversial scenes in the film. I would also recommend taking a look at this help page to see how this article can be further improved. Once these issues are addressed, feel free to renominate. If you have any questions, let me know. Good work so far, keep it up! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any more high-definition versions?-71.174.187.158 (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added in Toy Story, considering the similarities in storyline and concept of inanimate objects coming to life in the absense of people, for which Toy Story is now the most known example of this concept. In terms of story you can note the appliances feel abandoned (as do the toys in Toy Story when Buzz is introduced). They also have to learn to work together (as do Buzz and Woody in Toy Story). Near the end of the film the appliances are about to be crushed (like the toys nearly melted on the conveyor in Toy Story 3) but Rob returns (the toys find Andy again in Toy Story 3 who then donates them to a young girl as he is now too old to enjoy them). I'm sure someone else could find more similarities too -- not sure Toy Story 2 has any though. 109.156.83.88 (talk) 10:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Dark Themes section of this article states that this article is half-inappropriate and dark. Some may think that, but it fails to state who thinks this (in form of a reference). Such, this is not a neutral point of view. Also, it says that it should be rated PG, but in parentheses, it says "PG13 was nonexistant at the time"". This is unsourced and seems to be completely irrelevant. The notability is also disputed, as its information could be trivial. Does it belong in an encyclopedia? Maybe. Please comment so a consensus be made. ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 21:17, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the fact that the section is unsourced, it violates WP:POV and is now removed.  MegastarLV  (talk)

What's the meaning of this?! And where can I get more info about this "remake"?

Hi Geraldo Perez, I noted your revert here. This is a weird one, so your input is appreciated. The existing source (see the liner note printed as page 17) says that the film was released July 13, 1987 at the Wadsworth Theater in Los Angeles. An editor changed the value here, citing this source, which is often used in film articles, although the data is not as specific as the liner notes. I'm not quite sure what to do about this. I actually went through some Google newspaper archives and found one newspaper that claimed the film premiered at the Park City Film Festival in January 1988, so there are inconsistencies everywhere. Thoughts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:50, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: I have no idea which reference to believe although the liner note seems the most likely correct. My reverts were generally because the existing reference was deleted and info changed to something else and no new reference added. I guess with conflicting info in reliable sources we should document and reference them all and let the reader sort it out. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:17, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

– Statistics show that the film is way more popular than the novel. Like Disney's The Fox and the Hound, the film should be the primary topic. George Ho (talk) 19:57, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. It's likely that some of the novel's page views are actually intended for the movie, anyway. kennethaw88 • talk 12:45, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the genre to "animated musical" as the film is clearly not a comedy. The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 03:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Van Dyke Parks should be added as a composer, since he composed the main musical pieces. Jnill9898 (talk) 19:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration using the {{}} template. It looks like he only composed four of the songs, and didn't actually score the movie. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:35, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I once edited this page to have a more accurate voice cast section since there were a bunch of fake names for the characters listed, and it seems like there are unsourced claims of what brands of appliances some of them are... I know this because some of these are actually headcanons I made up for fanfiction reasons years ago outside of this site. I don't know who saw these ideas and thought they were real despite me making it clear that I just made them up. Anyway, none of the Cutting Edge appliances have specific brands. The telephone is not a smartphone, the hanging lamp isn't a hanging lamp and a desk lamp at the same time, the black-and-white TV is just called TV by the characters in the movie. Rob's last name isn't Minkoff, it's McGroarty. Rob's mother is unnamed and Chris has no specified last name. The best improvement of the edits I made sometime ago are from 17 October, 2020, so I would recommend reverting the voice cast list to this.

Whoever is vandalizing this article repeatedly, please kindly refrain from renaming these characters and insisting that the appliances in the Cutting Edge sequence have specific brands. No brands are confirmed and you're just happening to use ideas I got and claiming they're facts, and I would rather people not push my personal ideas as real facts.
