The part where the appliances (original and new ones) are on their way to Mars and meet a bunch of helium balloons floating in space I found to be a weak moment, but I guess it's more for kids. Neither of the sequels' plots can match the appliances' first adventure. I thought it would be kind of interesting seeing our appliance heroes on their only adventure away from Earth, but to me, it wasn't too entertaining after all. The baby song near the beginning seemed awfully sappy for a "Brave Little Toaster" song to me, but I guess the rest of them aren't that bad. The following night, they all witness Robbie being sucked out the window in a beam of light, and soon learn that he has been taken to Mars! In order to try and get the baby back before his parents wake up and realize he is gone, the Red Planet is where the appliances must go! Like the other two installments in the trilogy, this one features a bunch of songs. The Toaster wakes up and can tell he's up to something, so he tells the others about it the next day. One night, the Hearing Aid, who lives in the kitchen drawer, sneaks upstairs while everyone else is asleep. At first, the appliances are not sure how this will work out for them, but soon find themselves enjoying the company of the "Little Master". One day, the couple returns home with a new baby boy, Robbie. He is now married to his long-term girlfriend, Chris, and they live in rural house, along with Rob's old appliances (Toaster, Blanky, Kirby, Lampy, and Radio), and Ratso. Rob, known as "The Master" to his childhood appliances, has graduated from college and become a veterinarian. "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars" might be the worst of the three. Neither of them is any match for the bizarre 80's Hyperion Pictures production, though both of them have their moments. As it turns out, it's good I didn't, or I would have been let down.
I knew these two sequels weren't that popular, so I didn't have very high expectations for them.
After all these years, I've finally seen the two late 90's direct-to-video sequels to the barely theatrical 1987 original, which I saw many times in my childhood, probably mostly before the sequels were made. The third film, "The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue", takes place in between the original and this one.
This was released as the second film in the "Brave Little Toaster" trilogy, but is actually the final adventure.
