The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue is the 1997 direct-to-video sequel to The Brave Little Toaster. Oddly, while it was released to the UK in 1997, it wasn't released to the USA until 1999 (after The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars in 1998). It is also the only film in the series not to be based on a preexisting Thomas M. Dische book.

Set a few years after the first movie, the appliances have been busy assisting their Master while he's busy working at a veterinary clinic. While working on his thesis, his computer crashes due to a computer virus and he ends up losing all his hard work. Toaster leads the rest of the appliances to try and recover the Master's thesis with the help of Ratso the rat, and they soon come across a sick and outdated computer named Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein is responsible for the computer virus as he's been trying to alert the other appliances of a plan to sell all the animals at the clinic to Tartarus Labs for experiments, orchestrated by the Master's jealous assistant Mack. With the wellbeing of both the animals and their Master at stake, it's up to Toaster and the rest of the appliances to save the day.

The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue Movie

The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue contains examples of

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Mack is this towards Chris. She is not in the least bit flattered.
  • Adult Fear: Rob losing all 612 pages of his thesis, an early graduation just within his grasp, simply because he didn't hit the save button before his computer surged. Anyone who's gone through college will relate to his anguish. Thankfully, he gets it back.
  • And That's Terrible: Mack, who even states he's 'so bad'.
  • Animal Talk: Suddenly possible between the appliances and Rob's pets.
  • Art Evolution: While the original film isn't exactly known for stunning animation, it still looked like a feature film (the director and several key animators traveled to the overseas studio to supervise the Taiwanese staff). The animation here is a more economical TV level of quality, being handled entirely by the overseas studio.
  • Advertisement:
  • Big Damn Heroes: When Murgatroyd and the other animals kidnapped by Mack and his assistant Jim and taken in their truck, on the way, Murgatroyd's glass tank falls and he is free so he climbs under Jim's leg scaring him, then Mack and Jim is arrested by the police on the way and Murgatroyd and the other animals return to Rob's veterinary clinic.
  • Bottle Episode: Most of the entire film takes place inside the veterinary clinic, which is unusual for the main characters to stay in the same place since they did go on many adventures in the previous films.
  • Brick Joke: At the beginning of the movie, Chris quips that 'I'm Into Something Good' sounds like a song that would play on Rob's old radio. At the end, after Radio is fixed, they turn Radio on and he plays the exact same song.
    Chris: Hopefully that station will be out of range where we're going.
  • Call-Back: Just like the other two movies, this one opens with an oldies song (in this case, 'I'm Into Something Good' by Herman's Hermits). Unlike the others, however, this song is actually significant to the plot, as it reflects on Rob and Chris's relationship.
  • Carnivore Confusion: Murgatroyd (a Snake) Who due to his Good Heart, never dares to eat his animal friends especially Ratso, Ratso makes a rude comment towards Murgatroyd of his Snake Hiss and causes him to be repressed by the rat.
  • Character Development: Rob (aka The Master) was merely a goal to meet in the first movie. Here, his career as a vet, as well as his relationship with Chris, are given their own beefier subplots.
  • Characterization Marches On: Kirby. While still not exactly an upbeat character, he is considerably nicer, and any traces of his grumpiness are virtually non-existent.
  • Covers Always Lie: The VHS cover depicts the climactic scene of the appliances chasing after the truck full of the stolen animals, including Radio who was not present in that scene because he sacrificed his only tube to save Wittgenstein.
  • Dark Reprise: During 'Chomp and Munch', Wittgenstein sings the chorus of 'Super Highway' as the visuals portray him being shut down and put into storage.
  • Disney Death: Wittgenstein and Radio, the former by burning out his WFC-11-12-55 tube, the latter by physically removing his, and both of them recovered by being provided with a new tube.
  • Fat Bastard: Mack.
  • Forgotten Anniversary: What kicks off Rob and Chris's subplot is that Rob is too wrapped up in his thesis and graduation to remember their anniversary. It comes to a head when he yells at her for using Kirby to clean kitty litter and she tells him that she hopes they'll be very happy together. They eventually patch things up when he passive mentions their first time meeting, showing that he does remember.
  • Good Counterpart: The computers that sing about the Super Highway are basically friendly versions of the newer appliances that sing Cutting Edge from the first movie.
  • Gory Discretion Shot: Happens when Sebastian shows what the animal testers did to his arm.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Radio gets one of these.
  • Irony: In the first movie, Radio almost gets his tube taken out at Elmo's and barely gets saved before that can happen. In To The Rescue,he removes it voluntarily.
  • Insistent Terminology: Rob doesn't like to refer to the animal's cages as such, getting angry at Mack for not calling them 'units.'
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ratso the rat.
  • Lighter and Softer: While the stakes are nearly just as high (saving animals from a testing lab) as the first film, they're nowhere near as emotional.
  • Lovable Lizard: Murgatroyd is a kind-hearted snake, who was rescued by Rob (The Master) from a Mongoose and he is friends with Toaster and the other animals and never eats any of them.
  • MacGuffin: The WFC-11-12-55 vacuum tube, which powers Radio, is the core of Wittgenstein's systems, and is rare and discontinued.
  • Master Computer: Wittgenstein is a downplayed but benevolent example. Once provided with Radio's tube, he shows off why he was once one of the most powerful computers on Earth, forming the titular rescue in seconds, calculating everything so it's 'boo-boo-proof', and orchestrating the whole thing, taking control of multiple computer systems throughout the campus to do so, all while recovering Rob's thesis.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Rivals!: Radio and Ratso end up breaking the WFC-11-12-55 tube after a struggle to see who should get the honor of putting it into Wittgenstein.
  • Race Lift: Downplayed. Chris is Ambiguously Brown in the first movie and Word of God says she and Rob are a biracial couple. Here she just looks like a swarthy Caucasian.
  • Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Averts, Murgatroyd is a good snake and a good friend of Toaster and the other animals. Ironically he never ate Ratso (a Rat), who despite that makes a rude comment towards Murgatroyd.
  • Snakes Are Sinister: Averts this with Murgatroyd, who is a good-natured and polite friend of Toaster and the others.
  • Snake Versus Mongoose: Murgatroid the snake describes how Rob once saved him from a mongoose. In the United States.
  • Sssssnake Talk: Murgatroyd.
  • Totem Pole Trench: during the 'Remember that Day' segment, Kirby and Murgatroyd the Snake do something like this to make themselves look like Rob. This was another instance where the participants were not trying to fool anyone, but merely just playing around.
  • Troll: Radio plays Spike Jones's cover of 'Cocktails For Two,' which famously begins as the original, gentle ballad before suddenly becoming a loud, wacky novelty song, to help the animals sleep. He's promptly shut up when everyone throws trash at him in anger.
  • Vomit Discretion Shot: Kirby, after Chris uses him to clean kitty litter. When she and Rob leave following an argument, he darts out of the room and can be heard retching in the hallway.
  • Writers Cannot Do Math: Wittgenstein said he was down there for 4,999,450,852,312 nanoseconds, or 'since that awful day when transistors were invented.' The thing is, the number he gives is only about 83 minutes, and considering that the internet's already invented, this really makes the gap between the two dates really doesn't feel like only an hour. To be fair, he was malfunctioning at the time.

The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue Trailer

The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, also known as The Brave Little Toaster Goes to School, is a 1997 American direct-to-video sequel to The Brave Little Toaster. Despite being released after The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, it is actually the second film in chronological order. A production of Hyperion Animation and The Kushner-Locke Company in the United States, it was released in 1997 in the United Kingdom by Walt Disney Home Video and 1999 in the United States. The film (along with Goes to Mars) is available for purchase and rental on the iTunes Store,[1] but the first film has yet to be released on iTunes.

Plot[edit]

Rob McGoarty, the owner of the appliances and whom they refer to as 'The Master', is in his last days of college and is working at a veterinary clinic. One night, while finishing on a thesis, his computer accidentally crashes due to a terrible computer virus. The appliances along with a rat named Ratso seek to help Rob by finding and reversing the effects of his computer virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending to as part of his courses, to a place in Santa Clarita called 'Tartarus Laboratories', which is the same facility that Sebastian, an old monkey, was sent to when he was just a baby. When the appliances discover an old prototype TLW-728 radio named 'Wittgenstein' abandoned, all alone and run-down in the basement when transistors were invented. Due to being infected by a computer virus, the same one that affected Rob's dorm room computer and the one in the vet's clinic lab when Wittgenstein tried to contact them earlier, the miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare vacuum tube, the WFC-11-12-55. The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death.

In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to the college's storage building to find the hard-to-find WFC-11-12-55 tube. However, when they come back for miles with the last apparent tube, which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, Radio and Ratso (after an argument with the tube) accidentally break it, and it seems that all hope is lost. Wittgenstein does his best with all his might, but the virus causes him to blow his remaining tube with an explosion, going dead. Ratso then blames Radio, and guilt-ridden over condemning the animals to their doom at Tartarus Laboratories, he gives up his own tube, thus sacrificing himself. Knowing that they were given a final chance to save the animals, the appliances replace the tube. With the boosted power of the new tube, Wittgenstein miraculously wakes up, regenerating all of his other tubes and destroying the viruses within him, allowing him to be completely revived as good as new. With the appliances and Wittgenstein's help, they alert Rob, his girlfriend Chris, the guard dogs, and they work together to stop Mack from selling the injured animals and have him arrested. After discovering the appliances in the truck, Rob and Chris assume that Mack had also planned to sell Rob's stuff as well. Later, they discover Wittgenstein in the basement along with Radio. Chris later replaces Radio's tube with a new one she found in Nome, reviving him. Wittgenstein is sold to a museum to be upgraded with modern technology. Wittgenstein has also restored Rob's thesis, to his delight. In the end all the animals are adopted to new owners except Ratso who Rob and Chris decide to keep as their pet, Rob proposes to Chris to which she accepts and they leave college with the appliances and Ratso hoping to start a new happy life.

Voice cast[edit]
