The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue

The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue is a 1997 direct-to-video sequel to the 1987 film, The Brave Little Toaster, and the second film in the Brave Little Toaster trilogy.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Pretty good animation, for a direct to video sequel.
 * 2) The story was pretty good, too.
 * 3) The characters are still likable (even Toaster himself, and Kirby, whose character here is a great improvement over his portrayal from the original movie, as he becomes nicer, and not as much of a jerk as he was before, giving him character development).
 * 4) *Radio is still a very funny character, no matter who he is voiced by.
 * 5) "Do your best, because now you have Radio's best inside of you."
 * 6) The voice acting is still very good, as much of the voice cast from the first movie returned.
 * 7) An awesome climactic chase where Toaster and his gang save the animals from being shipped out.
 * 8) Amazing soundtrack composed by Alexander Janko.
 * 9) The musical numbers are still excellent, like "Hang in There, Kid" and "Remember That Day"; every single one of them is unforgettable.
 * 10) The movie has some pretty hilarious comedy, like when Radio plays a song that starts off quiet but then scares the others with its loudness.
 * 11) Mack McCro is a funny antagonist and Jay Mohr does a good job voicing him.
 * 12) The new characters are great and likable, such as Wittgenstein and the animals.
 * 13) A very good setup from the first movie.
 * 14) Radio giving up his tube to help Toaster and his friends was an emotional and sad scene.
 * 15) It delivers a great message where you have to take great care of animals without hurting them.
 * 16) Out of the Brave Little Toaster sequels, this was considered more enjoyable than The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars by fans.
 * 17) Some callbacks to the first film (Eg. Toaster mentioning the junkyard incident, and that’s mentioned again when Blanky admits it wasn’t a nice place).
 * 18) Decent direction by Robert C. Ramirez.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The story can be predictable sometimes.
 * 2) Ratso can be such a jerk at times. However, he does redeem himself near the end.
 * 3) The cover was a little misleading (Radio was supposed to be with the gang during the chase, but he didn't).
 * 4) Roger Kabler's voice performance as Radio in this movie is a little bit of a step-down from Jon Lovitz in the first film, and his replacement is not the best.
 * 5) * Eric Lloyd's performance as Blanky, while not bad, is weaker than that of Timothy E. Day's in the first movie as well.
 * 6) While emotional, the scene where the appliances get angry at Radio for accidentally destroying the tube was kind of mean-spirited.
 * 7) While it was released in the UK in 1997, it was released in America in 1999 after The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, which lead to some confusion over which film it was in chronological order; THIS should’ve been the one released first.
 * 8) There is an adult joke in a G rated film, in a scene where a computer appears to have what is coded as an orgasm.
