The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars

The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars is a 1998 animated family film in which the household appliances have settled into the home of their now-grown master, Rob, who lives with his wife and their baby son. When the child is taken from the house and carried off to Mars, Toaster, Kirby the vacuum, Radio, Blanky the electric blanket and their companions set out after him, joined by a rat named Ratso and a handful of new appliances. Their journey across space to bring the boy home is the film's central conflict, and it introduces a cast of new characters along the way.

Robert C. Ramirez directed, following The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue (1997); Joseph: King of Dreams (2000) came after. The screenplay is by Willard Carroll and Thomas M. Disch, based on Disch's book, and Donald Kushner produced for The Kushner-Locke Company and Hyperion Pictures. The voice cast includes Deanna Oliver as Toaster, Thurl Ravenscroft as Kirby, Roger Kabler as Radio, Stephen Tobolowsky as Calculator, Eric Lloyd as Blanky and Farrah Fawcett as Faucet, among 28 credited performers.

The film runs 73 minutes and was released in May 1998. On IMDb it holds 5.5/10 from around 2,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.7/10 from 92 votes. A critics' rating of 5.5/10 from six reviews places the reviews in line with the audience scores rather than apart from them.
