The original Brave Little Toaster was one of my favourite films as a kid, and not just for the vacuum. I had both sequels on VHS too, but was never as much of a fan of those two. Apart from that classic "well which side is starboard on a laundry basket?" line that always made me chuckle.

That's was one of my very favourite movies!!!
I like the original best but "to the rescue" was pretty awesome too.

The Brave Little Toaster
I flipping well LOVE the Brave Little Toaster. I frist saw the original film at about 6:00am in the morning one day in 2002, so I would have been only three years old, but I still vividally remember watching it for the first time, the Swamp Scene and Junkyard scene struck me the most, Kirby was my favourite character, in fact he, and the grey Hoover 1334a at my Pre-school, kindled my love for softbagged uprights. To this day the original film is still a genuinely moving, thrilling, and profound story of abandonment, acceptance, perseverance and hope. The thematic structure is a lot more mature than a whole load of other "kids movies" and I love all the characters, if you look carefully each character's personality contrasts with their function as an appliance...The Lamp isn't very bright, the Electric Blanket (security blanket) is insecure, the Vacuum which is suppose to hold things in has a breakdown, etc. I love the books as well, always wondered why the Vacuum was a Kirby in the films, when it was originally a Hoover in the books. In my mind Kirby is a 2-4r due to the switch on the handle, with a replacement Dual Sanitronic 80 bag. Although, he could be a Dual Sanitronic 80 due to the triangular belt lifter and the green colouring. in the books the "Old Hoover" was illustrated so that he looked a bit like a Junior 1224, but was described as being a vacuum from 1940, so that's nearly a 20 year discrepancy! With that in mind, I'd suggest he could be a 960 commercial due to his descriptions as being "big and sturdy" and his blueish grey colouring on the cover, or a 262, because the dates line up. Pictures come from the Vintage Hoover Emporium, and Kirbymodel2c's thread on Vacuumland.

fast forward to 3:30.
The original link shows as blocked in U.S.
I can nearly guarantee the videos in UK were/are better than those on offer in the U.S. for children.
This movie is wonderful.
