In our first of two bonus episodes covering films outside the Animated Canon, Isaac takes us through a deep-dive into one of his favorite films of all time: The Brave Little Toaster. We discuss everything from the book to the direct-to-video sequels – all in an attempt to reckon with the unique emotional feel, profound thematic depth, dark visuals, and bizarre history of this unique animated masterpiece. (Also Mom thinks it’s boring, so that’s fun.)
Me, Mom & The Mouse is a podcast about the joy of watching cartoons with your family. If you like this episode, please subscribe and join us each Friday as we watch every film in the Disney Animated Canon and talk about how it was made, what it means, and why we love it (or don’t.)
