Two things you gotta absorb here. 1. These appliances are basically Frankensteinian abominations to our heroes, body horror to the max, and they're singing about how they had to give in to the madness of their situation to avoid a complete psychological breakdown, because there's no escape from it. 2. And somehow, it's still not the darkest song in this movie.

I like how the fan doesn't require a cord to go up. He just doesn't give a fuck and just flys up denying the laws of gravity.

Considering how quickly they all hid, they probably do this twice a week

Good thing the humans on the other side of the door are deaf.

"There goes the sun Here comes the night Somebody turn on the light. Somebody tell me that fate has been kind." That part makes me melt inside.

The scary part of all this is that the machines have in a way gone off the deep end and just accepted their fate. They even see it as a funny thing to ponder, their eventual dismemberment and/or their unavoidable demise. And the fact they have given up the idea of escaping to the point of preventing others from escaping is rather shudder-worthy.

Fun Fact - The designs of the appliances here were based on popular horror movies at the time. - Hanging Lamp is Dr. Frankenstein's assistant, Igor - Baby Carriage is Rosemary's Baby - Coffee Pot is a Dalek or a Jack-o-Lantern - Broken TV is meant to be the shark from Jaws - Pencil Sharpener is Norman Bates from Psycho - Fan is the Creature from the Black Lagoon - Lamp without a shade is supposed to be your classic gray alien - Waffle Iron is supposed to be your standard vampire - Casette Player is Henry from Eraserhead I'm forgetting the rest, but you get the idea.

Can we just say that the voice acting for the main characters is absolutely tremendous?

YOU HEAR THAT BOYS!? THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO *ESCAPE!* GOD I love how that line is delivered.

As a child, this movie was sort of traumatizing. As an adult I can appreciate the dark themes and the creativity that was put into this. Even though there's a happy ending, we go through a lot before getting there and this movie serves children a big dose of reality despite centering around talking appliances. I will always love this.

I always thought this movie would make a great stage musical

Everyone's talking about how disturbing this is, but honestly can we talk about how good the song is?

It's funny that it took me until just now, age 24, that "It ain't home on the range" being sung by the oven is a pun, as it's itself a range, a combination stove and oven!

2:33 best part. They sound amazing together. Especially Kirby's bass and Toaster hitting a higher note. Breathtaking

*"somebody tell me that fate has been kind.."* if you pay attention to toaster's voice it sounds beautiful

You really wanna up the creepy factor? Think about the shop lamp for a minute, not only has he seen every freaky thing in this little hardware store of horrors, he was likely riding shotgun the whole time as the shopkeep brought him down for more light while was "creatively sourcing" parts. Hence the Peter Lorre goodness, he was the good doctor Blackndeckerstein's Igor, and he not only went crazy from the horror, he started getting into it!

This is actually scary. It's like being trapped in an insane asylum and trying to find a way to escape.

I don't why, but I have always loved the opening organ music. It gives me chills every time I hear it!

The freaky part is, in spite of this being one of the scarier scenes in this film, the one that traumatized me was the part where they were at that waterfall, and Kirby started chewing on his cord, about to swallow it. Just the look on his face... There's also so many scenes that as a kid, I would go "Aw, poor flower" or "Doesn't that psycho know they got feelings?!" But as an adult I realized, the sad flower had lost it's will to live, water would kill them all and not just in a nightmare, and the air conditioner didn't just "short out", up until "The Master" came back to his old house, he died in a way similar to an aneurism. This is why adults in Peter Pan's world can't fly...kiss my childhood goodbye T_T

Fun fact for anyone who reads this: If you listen to the lyrics really closely, you can hear the characters mention several references to other real movies, namely "Frankenstein" and "The House of Wax" which are both classic B movie horror films. Such amazing detail in a great movie.

These appliances have clearly seen things that have scarred them for life, seeing how they've apparently lost their hold on reality.

That Peter Lorre tribute with that ceiling lamp was always my favorite

I LOVE HOW THIS SONG IS BEING LISTENED TO SO MUCH STILL. I left my last comment 8 months ago and SO MANY comments have been placed after that! *That's amazing!* 🎉❤

"Did you hear dat boys? DEY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO ESECAPE! HU! HUHUHUH!"

I loved this sequence as a kid and I love coming back as an adult and actually understanding it. That's one of the fine arts of making a great kids movie-- it's something that's approachable by a child and can be appreciated on a whole other level as an adult.

"Look at me! I mean really! Bawf bawf bawf!! I'm a canopenah, a lamp, and a shavah! Ughhohoho gaawd I'm a mishmosh!!" The accent always cracked me up as a kid, still does actually. XD

I loved this movie so much when I was little. It was my absolute favourite. Never found it creepy. But I love how dark it is compared to every other disney movie ever. A true treasure.

For those interested: "Watch yourself, don't fall off of the shelf! You must be the new boys in town! What's that sound? Is someone movin' 'round? Sit down for a spell, you don't look so well. Wait a minute, I feel great, you just leave yourself to fate, you might as well just hang around. It's too late, we have to operate, just try to relax, it's a house of wax! Oh I....remember Frankenstein, shivers up my spine, whoooahh! I'm for getting out of here, No need to shout, my dear, nooo! Who will go, to that cellar down below? Trouble is a bubblin' in the brew! And while you're down there, Mr. Vincent Price, will give you good advice, He'll know what to do, you just tell him boo! He will put the voodoo in the stew, I'm telling you! It's like a movie, it's a B-movie show! It's like a movie, it's a B-movie show! I mean, look at me, barf, barf, barf, I'm a lamp, a can opener and a shaver, Oh god, I'm a mish-mash! This is weird, it's much worse than I feared, I'll close my eyes and make it disappear. This is strange! It ain't home on the range! You just tell St. Pete, that you've got cold feet! There goes the sun, here comes the night, somebody turn on the light, somebody tell me that fate has been kind, you can't go out, you are out of your mind! It's like a movie, it's a B-movie show! It's like a movie, it's a B-movie show! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!

As a kid, I didn't know the lyrics to this song. Looking back on it all these years later, I realized one line of it that can be taken as infinitely darker outside of the context of the film: "You just tell St. Pete that you've got cold feet." In the context of the film, they're referring to Elmo St. Peter and how they don't want to make made into amalgamations of what they used to be. Without the film's context, it could refer to St. Peter, the guy who supposedly waits at the gates of heaven, and it can turn into meaning being afraid to die. Overall dark song, but I love it.

Holy hell, I forgot how much of an absolute banger this song is! ♥️🔥

That fan at the end is so badass!

3:17 ...he can FLY??? why is he still there then?

2:33 is just beautiful and gives me chills everytime.

H E ' S S O S P O N T A N I O U S .

2:06 - 2:13 "I'm a can opener, a lamp, and a shaver... OMG; I'M A MISH-MASH"!! No.... you're a fire hazard !

So they are trapped in a place where the owner disfigures and frankensteins things together? They are living in a horror movie?

When I watched this film again for a few years ago, I literally listended to this song every day for months. It's one of the catchiest songs I've heard.

Such and underrated movie, and one of my absolute faves.

28 year old me is looking back on this thinking "wow look all the funny references and how clever the writing team is". 7 year old me is still traumatized by the idea of being locked in an insane asylum with a bunch of Frankenstein monsters who are so deformed and beyond hope that they relish in being torn apart and being put back together and they're doing everything they can to keep you there before their master returns so they can take you apart too so that you'll become one of them and join in the never ending dance of blissful torture. Hell, they're fuckin SINGING about it. I'm pretty sure one of them was holding a knife.

No age is too old to love this movie. It will never be "Worthless" to me.

My favorite part is Kirby watching the mish-mash character, which would basically be like looking at a human with other peoples limbs and other body parts writhing in their own self pity, and then just straight-faced says "This is weird" like it's just a slightly abnormal sequence of events

Took me 35 years to finally figure out that the hanging lamp was impersonating Peter Lorre, the Mishmash character was impersonating Joan Rivers and that open-reel tape recorder was impersonating Mae West.

So nice revisiting this scene after so many years of this particular song being stuck in my head. Brave Little Toaster is such a hidden gem in my opinion.

This movie was so creative. Especially their music. This brings me back so far. 😊

man...this movie scared me so bad when I was little...

Ahoyhoy! Phil Hartman was the greatest teal hanging lamp ! he just lit up the whole sound room with that voice!

"Somebody tell me that fate has been kind," well, I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway.

I just realized how much screen time that fan got during this song.

These appliances aren’t really evil. I think they’ve just gone insane from being literally torn apart and trapped for so long.

The Hanging Lamp is the creepiest out of the others but he's got the funniest voice ever. XD

I like how the hanging lamp is a parody of Peter Lorre

Me to my therapist: well it all started with a 3 and half minute scene in Brave Little Toaster.

This is where Sids from Toy Story’s toys go to be forgotten. That or this is where his dad works.

This movie is an absolute masterpiece and the soundtrack is completely flawless.

Ahhh the memories Is it bad i find the little fan dude adorable?

Though these guys aren't villains, they're just scared as hell out of the shop owner.

This is a stange scary yet oddy interesting mix of Tim Button and Toy Story

My god I’m happy my older brother kept his vhs collection, otherwise I wouldn’t have found this amazing movie

I think it's funny how the appliances in Elmo St. Peters' parts shop laugh at the very notion of escaping, yet the moment Elmo gets knocked out thanks to Toaster and friends, they all make a run for it, or "jail break" as they put it. I guess there was never a moment when Elmo was out of commission until that point.

Thank you KZfaq for suggesting me this at 3 AM Now I can't sleep

Jeez, uploaded 17 years ago, I feel old now

Listening to this song on the last day of September 2023. It just showed up in my recommendations, I liked the Worthless song a long time ago but haven't watched it in a long time. Hearing this song again, fucking hell it's phenomenal, the dark imagery, the dark undertones of the lyrics, I watched this movie a lot as a kid but never really appreciated how great the songs were. I love the genius of calling the song it's a B movie and having it be old horror movie themed. If there's one thing I will forever enjoy about KZfaq it's that it's helped keep memories like these around. Suddenly I'm a kid again, watching this on TV and later watching either Homeword Bound 1 or 2. Maybe I'm playing a SNES game I rented. Sometimes or at least I'd wager a lot of times, people just desperately want to remember far better times and videos like these help provide just a momentary gateway.

1:52 everyone gansta until Kirby shakin’ with fear.

I prefer this over Worthless, don't get me wrong, Worthless is also a masterpiece. But i prefer this over Worthless both because of sound design and the themes. Love the asylum-esque theme. My fav part is the ''there goes the sun'' part.

0:57 "You might as well just hang around." Holy shit

This may just be the most badass Disney movie ever made.

It really is a miracle this movie got past the censors. Wouldn't be possible these days.

I've never seen this movie before, but 2:33-2:49 really gives me chills. I can only imagine what it must have been like to watch this as a kid.

This cartoon is much better and deeper than i remember.... freaking excellent 👌👌. The level of issues it deals with....wow.

Amazing music...a VERY underrated movie

Definitely part of my Halloween Playlist

Oh man, this is such a great example of how this movie is way better than it has any right to be. This is a highly credible 80s pop song mixed with Broadway elements and gothic elements. They could've gotten away with not writing the 'There goes the sun' part and they didn't have to have those sweet harmonies but they did. And the animation when the shadow hands turn into shadow spiders is so cool.

This anime movie is underrated

This should be on every Halloween playlist.

This is my fave scene from the movie. It stuck with me enough that i started buying up old appliances for a dollar each at the thrift store and fixing them correctly so they wouldn't end up in a place like that. Also i had a major crush on the fan.

2:19 I like that breif singing from the radio

"Oh-ho-ho Gosh, I'm a mish mash." No, you're a mechanical Monster Mash. :P

This song would go well with the part in Toy Story 1 in Sid Philips room. If Sid's toys could sing this would be their song.

2:05 LOOK AT ME, I MEAN REALLY BARF BARF BARF! I'M A CAN OPENER, A LAMP, AND A SHAVER! OH GOD! I'M A MISHMASH!!! *faints expressionless*

This film needs a remaster Fathom Events re-release I loved this as a kid when i would rent this on video cassette

If you listen closely, you can hear the best song in the entire movie

Legit one of my all-time favorite Disney movies. Highly underrated. I mean, this was the original Pixar movie. It had John Lasseter and Joe Ranft working on it and it was originally supposed to be the very first 3D-computer generated movie. That's right, before Toy Story, but Disney didn't approve of the idea and they decided to make it with Hyperion Studios. There's even a reference to A113 in it! Its the master's apartment!

For some reason The Little Toaster has always stayed in mind. Guess it was one of my favs as a little kid as dark and messed up as it can be lol. It's a great film and they surely don't make them like this anymore.

As you can see here, private Frank Bennedetto had a troubled past before enrolling in the homestarmy during the early 2000's

The voice of the green lamp (Peter Lorre-ish) is performed by the late, great Phil Hartman (SNL, Simpsons, News Radio). The late Thurl Ravenscroft voiced the vacuum. He's also famous for voicing Tony the Tiger and singing "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" . Deanna Oliver, who is a Groundlings alumni, voiced the Toaster. Actor and SNL alumni Jon Lovitz voiced the radio. Joe Ranft (RIP) and John Lasseter of Pixar had a hand in making this movie. Some of the panning shots animated were experimented by early early Pixar when they did test animation for "Where the Wild Things Are" .

Fun fact: They reference Vincent Price in this song, who voiced Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective, the last Disney movie at the time of The Brave Little Toaster's release. I thought that was pretty cool.

Through all my years the voices of the radio left and vacuum I can remember clear as day I don't know why

The STOVE sings "It ain't home on the RANGE" oh now I get it, lol!

1:25 THAT SINGING. THE MUSIC (especially the STRINGS). This is my favorite part FOR SURE. It's so beautiful... I LOVE IT (yeah, I'm proud of myself for singing that part, heheh). 🤩😭 Also, I kinda like it that, though you can't actually determine which voices are from which characters (aside from the hanging lamp), you CAN, in fact, distinguish both the voice recorder and range's (or well, err, my) voice from the other ones! 😎😌

Wow! That was amazing! And scary fun too. You should make these Brave Little Toaster videos more often. Especially in sing-along version.

One of my favorite childhood movies. I think this song alone contributed to my love of horror films and novels. They don't make movies like this anymore. Side note: This song is a little Rocky Horror-ish, which makes me love it even more.

I know that this scene is supposed to be pretty serious, but I can’t stop laughing at that ceiling light. Its face, its voice, everything!

Still hard to believe this was rated G back in the day, lol.

All the songs from this movie are permanently burned into my memory. Watched this movie so many times as a kid.

That lamp's design freaks me out, it has an organic mouth with cheeks and lips while the others have cartoon mouths.

god, I love that 1:10 OOOOH IIIIII remember frankenstein!.." Damnit, too catchy!

I just now found out that the song from that one creepypasta animation came from this and I watched the Brave little toaster as a kid so how did I never notice that

This is my favorite song in the movie, Worthless being a very close second.

This was always a very memorable scene. More cool than scary, even for me as a kid.

Blankets line is godly, he’s such a pansie character but jesus, his singing..
