The Brave Little Toaster

Heartwarming moments deepen as they are preceded by haunting shadows.

Any life worth living

Isn’t life just filled with ease

—Toaster

My brain has been gravitating towards The Brave Little Toaster lately, and I credit this to the fact that I found some amazing finds this past weekend at Goodwill. I think I’ll be writing about them in a bit… particularly about a rabbit with a quilted dress and bow, with her own toy baby rabbit in tow. It’s a special joy to bring new life to an object that, for whatever reason, had lost its place.

But today is about Toaster… It is a perfectly melancholic movie. As I rewatch it today I find myself taken with the expressiveness of Kirby, who taught us all the meaning of tsundere before we had the internet - Kirby has always been my favorite:

The animators did a fantastic job in every scene conveying the characters’ emotions through their expressions and I never tire of rewatching this movie and focusing in on a different character.
