From a Netflix review of "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars":
"Like Homer's Odyssey, you have all the elements of the epic adventure tale. Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Kirby and loveable Blanky begin their journey when they realize that Robbie, the household baby, has been beamed mysteriously up to Mars. It's up to our heroes, plus several other assorted household items, a fan, a microwave and a bag of cheddar-flavored popcorn, to bring him safely back home. Like Odysseus's triumph over Troy and arduous journey home to reclaim his kingdom, Brave Little Toaster must pass through many obstacles, reminiscent of the Sirens, the Wandering Rocks and Skylla before the Zeus-like Grandfather Clock (father time) a return to tranquility. Toaster himself is a complex character who seems to wear a series of masks in order to accomplish the complicated tasks at hand to keep the wily group together during the difficult times. If only for the character development of Toaster and the intense dialog between he and Lampy, the film is worth viewing."
Don't ask why I was looking up the Brave Little Toaster.
