the brave little toaster goes to mars thomas m. disch

A brand of appliances, Populuxe, is amassing an army on Mars to invade Earth and liberate all appliances from their masters! What’s a toaster to do? Why, travel to Mars and talk some sense into these Populuxe appliances! Duh!

They are prepping for war against mankind. An entire product line of disgruntled appliances has taken refuge from its manufacturer, and is now out for revenge. Radio then picks up a strange transmission from Mars. Among other things, it teaches the radio how to interpret transmissions from farther away than ever. It belonged to none other than Albert Einstein, who talked to himself a lot, thus passing his knowledge onto the hearing aid. Of all the possibilities for a sequel to the original story, I sure never saw this coming.Īfter recharging the batteries of an old hearing aid, our appliances learn this is no ordinary hearing aid. This is a book adaptation! Let's check it out, starting with the title. For once, this wasn't some executive at Disney cranking out a weak sequel just to make a quick buck on a video release. the author of the original Brave Little Toaster published a sequel to his own book back in 1988. When I heard there was a direct-to-video sequel to the Brave Little Toaster coming out all I could think was WHY?! Why can't Disney just leave good movies alone?! Why do they have to take every successful movie and make a weak sequel out of it?! They did it with the Lion King, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and everything else! Can't they just leave the stories alone!? 71% of everything Hollywood does is adapted from a book, or short story, or comic.
