Fun fact: The Brave Little Toaster is based on a story by Thomas M. Disch, who is a pretty interesting sci-fi writer:

Better than Toy Story, but Toy Story is much better known and does the same thing

Yeah..except that The Brave Little Toaster has a specific anti consumerism slant..

I can't imagine why the toy based story that was designed from the get-go to shovel plastic into kids via emotional hooks took off better and was better supported by the industry...

I can't take this kind of pressure
I must confess one more dusty road
Would be just a road too long

Worthless

- Pairing the wedding and the funeral
