An Awkward Trip Down Memory Lane

Warning: Spoilers
Growing up, the Brave Little Toaster was one of my favorite animated films of all time, and it still holds up to me this very day. So naturally, I was a sucker for the sequels when they came out.

A lot of people seem to give the Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars a bad rap just for the ridiculous premise and pointless celebrity cameos, and while it does seem rather silly in context, it's actually still a little better and more memorable than this one. Just because it wasn't as dark as the first one doesn't make it necessarily bad, and just because something is dark doesn't always make it necessarily good, either.

Recently looking back and re-watching this film again, the dialog is written rather awkwardly and a lot of it just predictable. Most of the songs are awkwardly forgettable, except for Remember that Day, which explained the animals' back stories rather briefly. While it does try to keep the dark tone of the original, it didn't really do much for me here... But kudos to those with differing opinions from mine.

One of the things about this film that I still find laughably bad is the villain, who lacks any kind of basic character development and depth and is just so unsubtle that it isn't even funny... Seriously, Rob hired this guy? The way he acts and looks on screen just screams bad news, that it's practically impossible to not know he's the villain.

While it does still have its moments, watching this again was just an overall awkward experience.
