Long story short it was a Disney movie transferred to a side-company (Hyperion) for production despite having Disney employees working on it that is now tied up in legal rights issues because of said move.
I love it when you're consistently enjoying an animation film you haven't watched before and at one point think or say "this is really clicking". Nice when that happens. This clicked for me.
>clown >bathtub death nightmare >AC unit going psycho and dying >perpetual hopeless feeling whenever most of the cast talks about their journey >Lampy almost suicides to recharge the battery >junkyard song, magnet, and crusher >new appliances shitting on the main cast >kid returns to the old house to collect his things, so they'd have been perfectly fine and not subjected to hardships and disaster had they never left in the first place
Take your pick, really.
>AC unit going psycho and dying
People always bring up the clown and the fire stuff but that scene with AC was deeply upsetting to little baby me. Funny enough I thought he was a furnace for the longest time because I often got so scared during the scene I blocked out a lot of it, All I remembered about it was fire coming out of him and drew conclusions.
The near lightning suicide was pretty heavy too.
(You also forgot the waterfall scene and Kirby's PTSD leading him to chewing up his own cord)
...Actually given how disturbed the appliances are and the fact the father isn't in the movie I wonder if something really traumatizing happened in that cabin.
>(You also forgot the waterfall scene and Kirby's PTSD leading him to chewing up his own cord)
I will never forget that scene it traumatized me so much as a kid I wouldn't even step on our vacuum cord and I'd follow my mom around to make sure she didn't accidently suck up the cord. Kirby was my favorite character and we had a similar vacuum so I would call it Kirby and play with it like a toy.
>that scene with AC was deeply upsetting to little baby me
The whole movie was borderline insane like that. With a title like "The Brave Little Toaster" parents and kids expect some drawn-out cutesy tale like "The Little Engine That Could" where there's no real danger... and then AC loses his shit, the screen turns red, and he's breathing fire before dying though the kid fixes him when visiting the cabin.
Had completely forgotten about Kirby eating his cord and the waterfall scene until you mentioned them. Still, not bad for recalling most of the trauma from a movie I haven't seen in 20 years.
Forgot the entire cast slowly sinking into the mud, getting dragged in together by the cord linking them.
Toaster telling Blanket to not be scared of their impending death, and Radio being the last one up playing Taps or something while stretching his antenna to stay above the surface for as long as possible.

I always thought Kirby had the worst unsettling moments. That whole scene on the waterfall was tense as frick and a total moodswing. Didn't help that he was the stoic one of the group which was worse than anyone else breaking down
Besides all the surreal shit that happens, the lighting and backgrounds are kind of dark and have weird proportions, there are some pretty silent moments, it has an extremely creepy atmosphere for kid standards

Imagine thinking the 80s were a dark time for theatrical 2D films by Disney.
And yes, Roger Rabbit is a Disney film. Touchstone Pictures was a part of Disney.

Why was the magnet so psychotic? A whole junkyard full of appliances and cars accepting death but a toaster and his friends wanting to live made him endlessly seethe.
why does it say Disney?
Lots of Disney and Pixar people here

I remember being scared of this movie but don't remember why
There is a sense of dread looming over the whole thing.

>don't let the tremendous height scare you!
Radio was such an butthole
>Jon Lovitz plays the butthole
Wouldn't have it any other way.
