When a Movie for Babies is Absolutely Terrifying

- Nowadays, kids films are usually cute and bouncy to keep your kids quiet for a while. Back in the 80s, that wasn't the case. This movie is the prime example of that.
(I am aware my audio is a bit borked at certain points in the video, I tried something new with the audio mixing and it did not turn out how I liked, I'm probably going back to the old way in my next vid)

If you thought this was badly rated you NEED to watch Watership Down. In the UK we gave it a U the lowest rating (which it still has). It is genuinely horrific.
absolute banger of a movie tbh
no fucking way the rabbit gore movie got the lowest rating
@brunoramellogaming7074 I think it's been reclassified to a PG from a U after 44 years, but still
Is that the one about the oil rig that has that horrific ass Coke can Scene?
100% agree, dark as hell and I loved watching it
I cannot believe they gave Colossal is Crazy their own movie, truly a cinematic experience
I mean what is scarier than a clown, a British TH-camr.
thanks for slopping by
I enjoy how you make a children’s movie sound like an oddly specific historical atrocity
Considering they're confessing their sins. Sounds like the medieval Inquisitions.
Yeah Minions was an atrocity alright
This movie was a gateway drug.
I rewound & rewatched all the spooky parts over & over.
By the age of 7, I was drinking coffee & watching Freddy Kreuger movies.

Honestly built different
Bro’s built different, I could do this only when I turned 10
Same
Well, I was watching creepypastas when I had 6 years!
i loved this movie a lot, and i remember someone in the comments of a video of the song "Worthless" people pointed out how the lyrics meaning. some examples of people explaining how it's even darker than you think
(sorry for this being long, there's just a lot that needs to be said i think, and these are quotes, because they said it better than i could)
"First car: “I can’t take this kind of pressure. I must confess one more dusty road would be just a raod too long.” He’s the car of an old workingman who had a long life of service. The car was worn down from year after year after year of driving a long commute on a dusty road. The engine and air filters gave out one day when the road was way too long and hard. He represents the work exhausted, those who can't handle the pressures of work and life.
Second car: “I just can’t, I just can’t, I just can’t seem to get started. Don’t have the heart to live in the fast lane. All that is passed and gone.” I would assume that this was the car of a female in either college or high school. She wasn't driven much before she conked out while her new owner was driving on the freeway. Given how she mimicked a failed starting engine for her first line, chances are it was a serious problem with the electrical system. This car represents the depressed. Life speeds past these people, because they can't get started.
Third car: “I come from Kasi, Missouri. I got my kicks out on Route 66, every truck stop from Butte to MO. Motown to Old Alabama. From Texarkana and east of Savannah
From Tampa to old Kokomo.” His owner was a definite drifter and rode all around the states, especially on every stop you can think of on Route 66. He was driven hard and fast until his axiles busted. He probably rode on a very rough patch of road and was structurally damaged. This car represents the drifters, who drift along without any point, never rooting down. But, he clearly has an appreciation and zest for life. As he is on the conveyor belt, he is seen turning his wheel in a vein attempt to get off of the belt. He can’t turn, because he is old and beat up.
Fourth Car: “I once ran the Indy 500. I must confess I'm impressed how I did and I wonder how close that I came. Now I get a sinking sensation. I was the top of the line, out of sight; out of mind so much for fortune and fame.” This oldie was a top of the line race car and genuine contender for the Indianapolis 500 during his last run. He likely lost control when his wheels failed (note his missing wheels on one side). He skid out of control. I'd say he managed to avoid crashing and killing the driver. The car was deemed a failure by whoever built him and he was mothballed. This car represents the has-beens who were once famous or important, but have been tossed aside.
Fifth and Sixth related. The fifth car says “Once took a Texan to a wedding, once took a Texan to a wedding. He kept forgetting, his loneliness letting his thoughts turn to home and we turned.” The sixth car said “I took a man to a graveyard. I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough just living with the stuff I have learned.” After the fifth car is placed on the conveyor belt, the sixth car is placed on top of the fifth car and the two are crushed together. That was probably to represent the fact that the two drove the same man. The Texan probably died while driving the fifth car and the sixth car was likely a funeral hearse which drove the Texan’s dead body to the funeral.
Fifth Car: This limo was taking a Texan man to his best friends wedding wedding. The mention of lonliness gives me the impression that the Texan likely was not the groom. This guy was forgetting something due to feeling lonely. I get the vibe that he was showing up for a friend's wedding, and just couldn't take the feeling that he was still single and alone while his friend was happy with a new wife. He forgot about his obligation out of pain, and demanded to be turned around. This car represents the uncommitted, who are unable to commit to their relationships or love. Based on how dented the limo was, I would assume that the Texan died while riding in the limo. Which leads to...
Sixth Car: The last line of the fifth car felt unfinished. Regardless, the Hearse was there to take the Texan to his funeral, but got into his own accident on the way. It's hard to see but you can see serious dents and a busted headlight in his front. I think he might have gotten stuck in another accident on the way to the funeral, and he saw that the coffin he was carrying was filled with a dead man when it accidentally burst open. He learned that death touched humans too, and he couldn't live with this knowledge.
Seventh car: “Once drove a surfer to Sunset, there were bikinis and buns, there were weenies. Fellini just couldn't forget. Pico, let's go up to Zuma, Pico, let's go up to Zuma.
From Zuma to Yuma the rumor was I had a hand in the lay of the land. Get up and go hit the highway.” This one was owned by a college male. This guy was very likely laid back dude who liked surfin and goofing around with his friend Pico. The car had dings and dents from a few fender benders, but her master treated her well and took her everywhere. He was likely a campus legend, but she remembers him as the master who shredded waves from Zuma Beach to kayaking on the Colorado at Yuma. Based on the clearly bitten surf board, I am guessing that the master was eaten by a shark. His mourning family scrapped the car with the surf board. This car represents the traumatized, people who suffer from mental illness or trauma and are unable to cope.
Eight car: “I worked on a reservation. Who would believe they would love me and leave
On a bus back to old Santa Fe? Once in an Indian Nation. I took the kids on the skids where the Hopi was happy 'til I heard 'em say...
The rest of the things in the junk yard say:
"You're worthless."
This car worked on what was likely the Hopi and Tewa reservation as an impromptu bus for the community. He was likely used frequently by one family in particular, who used him to take their kids out of the place and for long haul goods carting. He grew to love that family, in particular the kids. He was a tough and reliable old truck with at least some more time in him left, but his heart broke when that family chose to ditch him and leave the reservation. He took them out to the skids, thinking he was just taking the kids out there to play like usual. They then got on a long bus to Santa Fe, and called the reservation and himself by extension worthless. He couldn't take this rejection and essentially refused to work out of depression. There was this one detail that is very easy to miss if you do not pay attention. I probably would not have noticed it if people on the internet had not pointed it out. As the magnet waves over this car, the truck drives off screan and is seen parked on the conveyor belt in the next scene. He was about to die, but chose to go out on his own terms, because the last thing that he would want to do is give the crane the satisfaction of knowing that he (the crane) is what sent him (the car) to his death. His musical number that he sings to achive a catharsis before his death is just as sad as that of the rest of the cars, but for a different reason. For the rest of the cars, they were sad, because they weren’t ready to die and they all tried in vein to resist it. This one was actually capable of resisting it, but he didn’t. His story was depressing in a “I am so sick of life” kind of way. This car represents the elderly, who were loved by their families, but age has made them worthless.
All of these cars represent a collective experience of the way depression affects the mind. Each one has a story and even achievements. Each one has a life: but despite any of it, they are 'worthless'. The crusher is a symbol for death and suicide. The conveyor belt a symbol of struggle. All vehicles (aside form the last) attempt to resist it. This means that each car represents different levels of depression, from mild to severe. And each is handicapt so that it cannot escape the crusher. This is what depression actually does to a healthy mind. The knowledge of being loved and having some sense of worth disappears, you become drained of energy, and you become blinded to the truth of your own value. You stop bathing, sometimes even 'getting started' on anything. Left untreated, and especially if the sufferer finds confirmation, the feeling of being worthless ends in suicide."
that's just one person is the comments. another person connected it to ways people feel worthless, which the said
"First Car: The Work Exhausted
Those who can't handle the pressures of work and life
Second Car: The Depressed
Those who can't get started, and therefore life speeds past them
Third Car: The Drifters
Those who drift along without any point, never rooting down
Fourth Car: The Has-Beens
Those who were once famous or important, but have been tossed aside
Fifth Car: The Uncommitted
Those who are unable to commit to their relationships or love.
Sixth Car: The Traumatized
Those who suffer from mental illness or trauma and are unable to cope
Seventh Car: The Youths
Those who waste their lives away partying and having good times but never contribute to society
Eighth Car: The Elderly
Those who were loved by their families, but age has made them worthless"
"Worthless" Is just so freaking messed up and i love it. there are a lot more people who talked about how the lyrics are messed up. the dark stuff in this movie gives me life honestly, man i wish more pg films now a days were like this. Great video Magic Mush.
This is the War and Peace of Brave Little Toaster comments
Also, I think they said K.C. Missouri, as in Kansas City.

Yeah the singing fish scene is mostly innocuous, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the part with the flower dying of loneliness after believing he finally found a friend in the toaster's reflection. It's one of saddest scenes in any movie I've watched and still chokes me up a little.
Actually, even the part where the mice are dragging the blanket down into the hole is pretty unsettling. The music stays lighthearted but the blanket genuinely sounds in fear for its life.
One of my favorite movies as a child. I sadly feel like "G" is a rating only allowed for toddlers or stuff like Toy Story 4 now. There was a paradigm shift in 2009, just after Wall-E in 2008, Up, Coraline, and Fantastic Mr. Fox were all PG, Princess and the Frog was the only G rated movie and Secret of Kells had no rating. Originally, it was only DreamWorks animation that was PG, then after that, everything was considered PG. It's frustrating because it doesn't give you any idea of the quality of the movie and there is very little that feels that is actually requires parental guidance. The MPA is and always has been a joke, but you explain to me a way where Jaws can have the same rating as Frozen and have it make sense.
Well, The Secret of Kells was probably not given a rating because it was made by an Irish studio (some foreign productions don’t seem to get ratings when released in the US for some reason).
That being said, I’m glad you brought it up because it is certainly a prime example of an animated masterpiece with very dark imagery. The scene where the fairy girl gets consumed by the dark force and briefly shows her zombified face before she dies would probably give a lot of modern horror movies a run for their money.
Nice video. Main complaint is that you forgot how mention how Beetlejuice and Gremlins were partly the reason for the PG-13 rating.
So was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
@@eeyorehaferbock7870 it was mostly indi. Gremlins and Beetlejuice were box office failures iirc
And Poltergeist. What was Spielberg's game, here?
Beetlejuice came out after the PG-13 rating was created
- Aw, you're probably overreac...
- "brave little toaster"
- Oh god. The death of air conditioning unit. The graveyard.
Worthless traumatized me so much as a child. I was always the type of kid to listen to the lyrics and digest them, and these ones really stuck with me. It's what made me aware of my mortality and made me feel like everything I would do would be ultimately meaningless. Even seeing and hearing the whole musical number today disturbs me a lot. My brother would listen to the song all the time because he liked the tune, meanwhile I'd be sitting nearby contemplating the existential horrors of the lyrics lol.
We need more heavy themes kids' media. Kids need to be challenged, to be shown harsh realities (not literally traumatizing though) and that they can be overcome.
I recognized that clown as soon as I saw the thumbnail. The Brave Little Toaster gave me too much empathy for appliances. I now have a bunch of appliances I don’t need because I felt bad for them and needed to give them a home. And going to the wrecking yard for parts is a last resort thanks to Brave Little Toaster PTSD.
Funny that you mentioned that, because Puss in Boots the last wish is the kids movie that checks everything you wanted.
I think last wish is really made for parents. 😂 who grew up with the sheep franchise and are now hitting middle age
I always loved this movie as a kid, and could never quite put my finger on why. Now that I'm a bit older I realize that it was the darker tone that I appreciated. It was a nice change of pace.
I see this movie and raise you James And The Giant Peach. Everything about that movie was marketed to suggest a cute, light-hearted, innocent children's adventure. A young kid goes on whimsical, goofy adventures on a journey across the sea in a giant magical flying fruit. Sounds like typical, bouncy, slightly bizarre, but ultimately innocuous stuff that you could totally leave a kid to watch to keep them quiet for 90 minutes. Right? WRONG. I watched that movie when I was 6, and even now, I still needed to work up the courage to watch clips of it on TH-cam so I could make sure this comment was accurate.
The story is 50 percent random surreal adventure vignettes, 20 percent shockingly dark depictions of child neglect (They were clearly going for the "cartoony evil step-parents" trope like in Cinderella or Harry Potter, but unlike those movies there aren't any jokes to lighten the mood, so it just comes off as way too bleak for its target audience), and 30 percent the scariest animation you've seen in your life. Saying that stop-motion is creepy isn't a new take by any means, but holy hell, there's something just... so off about the way the characters are animated. Their bodies are extremely articulate, but their faces are so much more stiff-looking that they all look like they've been Botoxed. Oh, and did I mention that the entire storyline is a highly deliberate metaphor for the stages of grief?
I'm not going to go over the entire plot down here, but Mush, I *seriously* recommend reviewing this movie. Your sense of humor would be perfect for it. For anyone reading this, BionicPig has a very good (if long) video on it. Also, the director went on to direct Coraline and Wendell & Wild. He even did some storyboard work on Brave Little Toaster, which shouldn't be surprising.
I thought the giant peach was a weird dream I had as a kid because I couldn't find it.. until I stumbled upon it like 10 years ago. That shit was trippy.
Bionic pig is a prick
It's weird because it's a Roald Dahl book. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is also weird. It's for children while tackling "adult" themes like death. He was a weird dude.
I guess they weren't sure what to rate it for a while. I distinctly remember James and the Giant Peach for being the first movie I saw advertised as "This Film is Not Yet Rated".
Ooh, can't forget about the angry rhino that heavily implied to have killed James' parents.
Poltergeist is rated PG for PolterGeist
Doesn’t it seem like they were trying to set up the fact that the kid was hurt or even killed by one of the appliances malfunctioning? The AC’s line of, “ It’s not my fault that the kid couldn’t reach the dial,” the dream sequence, and the fact that their master was gone, seemingly disappeared
The entire scene with the flower is a gut punch
Beetlejuice was one of my favorites as a kid...along with Brave Little Toaster. The 2nd one is cool, they go to Rob's college and meet an ancient mainframe computer from the 50s and there's more focus on the human characters and some talking animals. I think it holds up pretty well, has some good songs and builds on the themes of the first movie. The 3rd one is a trip.... they go to mars and meet all the space probes there all alongside EINSTEIN'S HEARING AID
Ah, the brave little toaster. I still have the nightmares.
I actually loved this movie when I was growing up lol. Id constantly watch it on my Moms old VHS player. Looking back I understand why I enjoyed it, but I have NO CLUE how this shit only mildly spooked me.
Same, I remember that stuff like Augustus Gloop getting stuck in the tube in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory scared me but other dark stuff in movies didn't
I don't think the problems are the kids being too sensitive now, but the parents.
The parents are the ones to complain if a kids movie isn't just rainbows, minions, singing and fart jokes.
The thing is, it's not just dark for the sake of being dark. Everything mentioned here, even if it doesn't directly move the plot forward, reinforces the themes of self worth.
It's also the only movie I can think of where the cast includes Jon Lovitz and Tony the Tiger.
You know shoutout to Watership Down for still being rated G to PG just for being an animated movie with rabbits
It’s British So it’s rated u, the British version of the g rating
Dude I LOVED this as a kid. I was drawn to movies that took kids seriously early as I can remember. I rewatched it with my nephew recently, & reminded how good it is. Another dark (but not as scary) sequence is the song where new appliances are talking about how old & garbage the main cast is, & that nobody wants them. To this day, I value my appliances as long as humanly possible, lol. That same nephew now has my childhood radio.
that air conditioning scene freaked me out because of the yelling & just abrupt stop after he essentially overloaded/exploded-
a lot more scenes from this movie kept me silent/contemplating but somehow nothing with the clown in it-
You unlocked a fucking memory for me cuz i think my brain just could not handle this back then.
I totally forgot Colossal is Crazy nabbed the close-up of this clown's mug as his avatar and embraced that persona, with this movie being the source.
Damn.
I think I remember watching this movie when I was in kindergarten in one of those VCR TV stands on wheels in the school’s library (I wasn’t even born in the 80s or 90s, *THIS WAS THE LATE 2000S-EARLY 2010S.* I guess my old school was cheap on their equipment back then lol.) The only thing my brain could remember was the character designs of the main cast and the scene where the cars were brutally crushed to death. I don’t remember if I was ever scared of this movie as a kid but looking at it now… I think this might be more terrifying than any horror movie out there.
This is so nostalgic. I remember being like 3-4 years old watching this and good burger on vhs all the time
I really wish I'd watched this movie as a kid, I like it a lot as an adult.
And I know I wouldn't have been scared as a kid of the clowns and stuff.
I actually would have cried for the air conditioner as a kid instead of being scared of him (and probably sat next to our window unit AC to make sure he didn't feel left out, like I did after watching Toy Story, I played with all my toys at least a little every day so they wouldn't feel left out lol)
I give this movie an "all toasters toast toast!"/10
As a kid born in the 80's, I can confirm that Brave Little Toaster has creepy elements for children. It didn't traumatize me as much as Big Bertha in Pee-wee's Big Adventure, or Return To Oz did, but there were moments in Brave Little Toaster that definitely creeped me out as a kid.
This, the first Land Before Time, and Little Nemo were my childhood. I really miss that kind of darkness and nightmare imagery in kid's movies. Old Disney stuff always did too so it's not like it was just an 80s thing.
I actually watched The Brave Little Toaster as a kid because my mother would put it on multiple times for no reason just to distract us kids.
This movie absolutey traumatized me and to this day still scares me.
my parents did too. I watch home videos and now I know why I got spooked easily and hid behind my mom
Seeing that scene at the end when the toaster is getting violently jammed into the gears like that pulled a childhood memory out of me and instantly made me start crying. I had this movie on VHS, I remembered some of the scenes though not very vividly, so watching this was like retreading those memories with the emotions still tied to them, and it all hits the same. Good video, gotta step away and think for a second.
I watched The Brave Little Toaster when I was very little at school I believe and it was and still is one of my favorite animated films. Growing up and even still I attribute human characteristics to inanimate objects and I feel bad for silly things like a pencil being snapped in half or a broken mug. The movie never spooked me much for some reason though, although the air conditioner scene made me rather upset.
AIN'T NO WAY DRIZZY LETTING THAT ONE SLIDE🔥🥶🥶🥶
I remember watching this with my Grandparents when I was 5 and this movie legitimately gave nightmares.
Nice to see colossaliscrazy is in this movie

"Nowadays, kids films are usually cute and bouncy to keep your kids quiet for a while. "
Just because most modern PG rated films don't really fit what PG used to be doesn't mean that all of them are bad.
And some modern movies actually fall into "80's" PG standards ("The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", "Detective Pikachu" and "Turning Red" anyone?).
I read it as secret life of walter white, interesting kids movie
@@ivanalves8506 lol
Edit: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty really isn't a kids movie, it just got the PG rating.
Don't forget Puss in Boots 2
This movie is probably a reason why I like really weird shit, and scary things that aren’t necessarily in the horror genre. I still love it as an adult
The fact that Cars is a G rated movie despite all of the sexual innuendos and BLATANT use of the word sex just baffles me.

I was born in the start of 2000's, and now that i looked back at what horrors and sad topics i was actually watching as a child which were labeled ''kids movies'', im really sad newborn kids dont get to see it anymore, it unironically shapes you to be a better person and alot more realistically thinking.
Kinda disappointed how you didn't mention the plant scene where Toaster finds a lonely flower who looks into the reflection and starts hugging them, but they get away instantly, which eventually they look back and find the flower in a depressive state. It's sad, and one of it's petals falls off, which could be considered self harm in a way.
Its supposed to represent crying, like a tear falling, you peanut
also like a moment after that scene you see Blankie getting dragged into a mouse hole and he says to toaster “help theyre killing me! D:” that always caught me off guard like OMG they just had a bright cheery moment and hes getting hurt to the point blanket thinks he’s dying 😭😭
Another good thing about the 80s? Cars had pop up and down headlights, son.
The 80s. The wild west of cinema.
Yeah man, we grew up with scary stuff and it made us realise we CAN cope with it, even giving many an interest in the strange and macabre. If kids nowadays are so shielded from scary stuff, it causes problems later in life if they dont know how to react to it or are more sensitive to it.
When i was a young kid, i remember watching the movie Monster House.
In my country this movie had an age rating of 6 years! Only 0 is lower.
This was the first movie i was actually terryfied of. I think there was actually nothing after that, that scared me more than this movie did back then.
I dont know how old i was, but probably around 10 or younger. Again, this movie is rated FSK 6, even lower!
This movie still has some dark scenes.
I remember that one woman was literally kept as a circus animal.
She was bullied and died in a brutal way.
They also found the skeleton inside the house.
The old man also threatens a little girl that she might get eaten by the house.
This movie is definitely not suited for children of the age of 6.
They really get 'rescued' out of the quicksand by George Costanza...
Also dumb jokes aside, I can't believe I used to watch this as a kid a lot and don't remember that clown scene. Then again, I'm also the kid who would binge Courage the Cowardly Dog without a care.
FART JOKES ARE HILARIOUS!
I liked this movie as a kid, but the thing that scared me the most was Blankie getting lost in the storm. I remember hiding behind the couch until they found Blankie up in a tree
Not the nightmare clown, not the AC unit exploding… but Blankie getting blown away in a storm
nobody talks about this movie!! I was a 2000s kid and I still was scarred by this movie!! I love it now tho as a horror movie fan 😧the whole movie was so unsettling and all of the implied suicides were the worst. I love to ask ppl if they’ve seen it and hardly anyone I talk to has
I honestly thought it was going to be worse than I remembered as a kid, but it doesn't top Fern Gully when it comes to the sheer level of uncanny horrors that awaited me there.
I also remember this one old Halloween cartoon where one of the kids gets straight up turned into a stone fountain at the beginning. That sticks in my head as a minor trauma point and I wish I could find it again.
Okay but Hexxus is one of the coolest villain designs in any movie
Interesting video, but if you think The Brave Little Toaster stands out for being so dark and still getting the G rating, you should seriously watch (or rewatch) some of Don Bluth’s films. I’m pretty sure The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and Anastasia are all rated G, and yet they all have extremely dark and disturbing imagery and themes. Even if you stick to Disney movies, there’s still The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is also rated G in spite of its more PG-13 tone, which is especially weird when you consider that it came out years after that rating was introduced.
“PG” basically just means “Pretty General” now.
Also holy shit I remember loving this movie as a kid *because* of how fucked up up and dark it was. Childhood classic for me lol.
I probably watched this movie 100+ times as a child. I loved it.
To the Rescue has a decently dark song, "Chomp and Munch"
I'm jealous of the master... I wish I had the talent to repair a toaster that got mangled by gears.
That thumbnail is one of the oldest documented photos of Jerma
You didn't include a part that I consider not very scary but really saddening. The scene with the flower... It makes me so sad. It's the moment that teaches the Toaster that it's important to be kind to those that are alone or delicate. I can't really explain it bcoz I'm extremely tired. But, reader! You could look up the scene :P lol
I remember Shoe0nHead mentioned that part. The flower thought it made a friend. But when the toaster breaks the illusion, the poor flower just keels over and dies.
Amazing scene and easy to miss
Brave little toaster even freaked me out, the cars in the junkyard were super sad
I think this movie unfortunately didn't get popular around here where I live, because it seems to be something I would really love, hate (and be scared at) when I was a child... It seems to still worth as well
I must have been a dense kid cause I watch this movie a lot and was never bothered by it just "haha cute appliances talking like in toy story". I never said oh yeah guess that's weird at times until I was a teenager watching TH-cam and seeing stuff like top scary moments in kids movies.
I barely remember this movie
Love your content! Some small bit of feedback: maybe normalize your volume a bit more? I have sensitive hearing and im sure some others do too, so when the volume goes from normal to really loud and crunchy and peaking the audio (for comedy i know but still) it is a rather painful experience.
Keep up the awesome work!
Hey, it's the movie that has Colossal Is Crazy in it!
I saw Nightmare on Elm street the new nightmare when I was 5 when my uncle played it on laserdisc. The movie initially scared me so bad that I was afraid to get under the covers but it opened me up to other horror movies that felt tamer in comparison. And as I got older horror movies, ghost stories and creepypastas just doesnt scare me anymore but infact intrigued me.
It gets way worse. In the original book, the toaster actually dies. Also,the author had just lost his life partner prior to writing the book, and when the book was finished, he killed himself.
Edit: apparently this is false and I shouldn't believe what I heard on a podcast I won't name lol.

I actually remember growing up with the direct to dvd movies and didn’t even know of the first one’s existence. Crazy stuff!
The cars in the junkyard still bugs me on some level. The combination of having a similar relationship to cars as I did as a runt with horses, as well as just being crushed for no reason, despite being perfectly serviceable.
11:12 i say it does have a bit of a role in the movie. The appliances put their trust in the master, as they cannot function without him. So it only makes sense for them to worry about "failing" their master. Its like in Thomas, when the engines start worrying about being replaced or breaking down, potentially being scrapped. So Toaster having a nightmare about letting his master get hurt from his malfunction seems natural for his character.
Ghostbusters 2 scared the hell out of me as a kid.... I was too scared to run a bath because of that pink slime
@8:19 thats effing terrifying, But as scary as the scene is, I think it would’ve been peak terrifying if the AC unit was voiced by Brad Dourif from Childs play.
Yknow, your point of how PG movies in the 80s leaned so heavily into that rating meaning GUIDANCE made me realize why some kid I knew in the 2000s was only allowed to watch G-rated movies. (For more context, I think their parents were evangelical christians? Which would explain why they were so restrictive on what movies their kid could watch.)
Honestly I never knew how fucked up a lot of scenes are in here, the last time I watched this was in Second Grade and it never crossed my mind how dark it is. It’s nightmare fuel starring a goddamn talking toaster.
I never found this movie particularly scary even as a little kid, but I swear watching this (along with The Last Unicorn) all the time as a child gave me clinical depression which never went away. It's been almost 30 years and that car crusher sequence still makes me want to kill myself every time I hear it.
Not only did I watch this as a kid, it was put on constantly on loop when I was little because I loved it. When I showed it to my friends as an adult, they said that explains a lot about me.
EDIT: Also, a lot of the people who made it (and BTW, it's based on a book, which is crazy) went on to found Pixar. Which makes sense when you realize the plot is very similar to Toy Story's, just with appliances instead of toys.
Also, I one watched this with a group of people, got drunk, and had them thoroughly convinced it was a retelling of the Odyssey.
The PG-13 rating didn't exist until 1984 and was created because of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins. The movies weren't gruesome enough for an R rating but they were also too intense for just PG. The MPAA had to figure out a good in between rating between PG and R because of how films were pushing the envelope and many parents were upset with this so instead of censoring the movies they made an in-between rating to compromise.
As for Beetlejuice, that came out in 1988 and I have no idea how it got a PG because PG-13 movies allow one "fuck" to be said in the movie, 2 "fuck"s make the movie an R.
I've never heard of PG rated film saying "fuck" at all. I've heard "bitch, ass, asshole, hell, damn, etc..." basically all curse words except "fuck," "shit," and "cunt," and obviously no slurs. There's probably a few PG films with "shit," said once but "cunt," and "fuck...?" Besides Beetlejuice, I can't think of any other movie. 🤷♀️
Fun Fact: The 1st PG-13 film was Red Dawn.
Billy Madison has the F and S word at a PG in UK yet this was at the time almost any film with a single f word got a 15 rating because Pre 2001 they was no UK version of PG 13 so they changed the rarely used 12 rating at the time which spiderman got for it. Yet Beetlejuice and the first Karate Kid are still 15. Barely thing gets a U the uk G anymore even lots of things that was U are now PG for silly things like saying bloody once.
Extras on DVD can boost age rating in UK to a G film called Sunday School Musical got a 15 just because they put Trailers for horror movies on the disc as extras.
I actually loved the Brave Little Toaster movies as a kid. Though I can't remember if I saw both the first or just the one where he goes to mars to save the master's baby.
Still, it brings me such nostalgia and I look back on it fondly in contrast to all the trauma other people seem to have.
2:17 using the music from the Beetlejuice video game was a nice touch.
It is an interesting thought that your toaster doesn't want to take a bath with you, because it wouldn't just kill you, it'd kill the toaster, too!
my guess on why the firefighter has a clown face is so that children aren't scared of actual firefighters
Grim kid's movies.Yeah, Watership Down too. Geez. These movies put me in a fit of depression as a kid. There were a couple of episodes of other cartoons too, but I think I blocked them from my mind. I was also traumatized by Gremlins. I still have nightmares, years and years later, of those frikin gremlins coming after me, Aliens style.
I never thought I'd hear the MMX7 Soul Asylum theme in a video, it is the perfect song to show how truly unnerving something can be.
It's a shame the rest of the game is so mediocre at best
The Brave Little Toaster ??!
Oh lmao. Yup. The Brave Little Toaster. Thought so.
I remember having mixed feelings about this movie lol I liked it but I remember it wasn't something I took lightly even as a kid
I remember watching the brave little toaster at my grandmas many times as a kid. I never thought it was that scary, I just remembered it as Toy Story but with appliances.
i loved the brave little toaster as a child!! it never scared me but i remember it made me treat my household appliances with a lot more care lol
I love how you clipped Mike Matei's joker when you showed the clown face
i loved this movie as a kid, i thought it was more sad than scary but i still loved it and watched it over and over
Idk, as a kid this movie made me feel uneasy but never scared. The music was amazing to lil me and i was so happy to see the ac fixed and the master interracting with it. Makes me tear up to this day.
Wow it's been forever since I've seen the Brave Little Toaster! I remeber being scared too on a few parts when I was a kid. It was definitely a different kind of movie than you'd expect.
lmao never thought i would care about age ratings, nice job on this one
I remember watching the first Indiana Jones when I was 6 with my dad. He loved 80 s movies so he was more onboard with us watching it but we had to close our eyes during the face melting part. I didn’t and I thought the scene was awesome rather than scary.
