'''Tigger''' is a [[fictional character|fictional]] [[tiger]]-like character originally introduced in [[A. A. Milne]]'s book ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]].'' Like other [[Pooh]] characters, Tigger is based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals. Nowadays he is most widely recognized as reinterpreted by the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] studios, with distinctive orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, springy tail, and (the one detail originating from A. A. Milne) his love of bouncing. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best."


==In literature==
[[File:The original Winnie the Pooh toys.jpg|thumb|right|The real stuffed toys owned by Christopher Robin and featured in the ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' stories. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear (aka Winnie-the-Pooh), Eeyore, and Piglet. They are on display in the [[Donnell Library Center]] in [[New York City]].]] Tigger is introduced in Chapter II of ''House at Pooh Corner'', when he shows up on [[Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie-the-Pooh's]] doorstep in the middle of the night, announcing himself with a big bounce. Most of the rest of that chapter is taken up with the characters' search for a food that Tigger can eat for breakfast - despite Tigger's claims to like "everything", it is quickly proven he does not like [[honey]], [[acorns]], [[thistles]], or most of the contents of [[Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga's]] larder. In a happy coincidence, however, he discovers what Tiggers ''really'' like best is [[extract of malt]], which Kanga has on hand because she gives it to her baby, [[Roo]], as "strengthening medicine".


From that point on, Tigger lives with Kanga and Roo in their house in the northeastern part of the [[Hundred Acre Wood]] near the Sandy Pit. He becomes great friends with Roo (to whom he becomes a sort of older sibling figure), and Kanga treats him in much the same way she does her own son. Tigger also interacts enthusiastically with all the other characters — sometimes too enthusiastically for the likes of [[Rabbit (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Rabbit]], who is sometimes exasperated by Tigger's constant bouncing, [[Eeyore]], who is once bounced into the river by Tigger, and [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet]], who always seems a little nervous about the new, large, bouncy animal in the Forest. Nonetheless, the animals are all shown to be friends.

In addition to chapter II, Tigger also appears in chapters IV, VI, VII, and X of ''The House at Pooh Corner'', and is mentioned in several others. He is the only new major character to be introduced in ''The House at Pooh Corner''; all of the others had been established in the earlier [[Winnie-the-Pooh (book)|Winnie-the-Pooh book]].

===Depictions===
== IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society deletion ==
In [[Ernest H. Shepard]]'s illustrations, Tigger appears to walk (or more often, bounce) on four feet as opposed to two. He is, however, capable of holding a pen with one of his front paws. Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as "large", he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations. Pooh states once "He always seems bigger because of his bounces", implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is.


===Personality traits===
RickinBaltimore if I am reading the messages correctly you have deleted the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT_S) page which I did create a number of years ago as a volunteer. It is one of 40+ similar pages created by volunteers for the technical societies of the The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) a non-profit and the world's largest technical professional association. So I am a bit confused on deletion but I will admit a lack of detailed knowledge on the proper creation of Wikipedia pages. As I have am no longer active in maintaining the page, I would like to pass this to on to more appropriate volunteers and request the page be restored so they may address your concerns. As this is the yearend holiday period, it may take a bit to get the right person on this. Appreciate your consideration as this was not an intention violation but perhaps the unintentional error of a poorly informed volunteer. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jtbarr4|Jtbarr4]] ([[User talk:Jtbarr4#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jtbarr4|contribs]]) 07:40, 25 December 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
That assessment fits well with Tigger's personality and his assessment of his own abilities, which he always overestimates. He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and has complete confidence in himself. Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do include flying, jumping farther than a [[kangaroo]], swimming, and climbing trees. He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree. He only succeeds half-way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again. Tigger also says Tiggers "never get lost"; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true - he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him.

Like most of the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger was based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals, in this case a stuffed-toy tiger. However, the word "tiger" is never actually used in the book. The term "Tigger" is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal. No other "Tiggers" appear in the story, and at one point Tigger (who has just seen his reflection in a [[mirror]] and mistaken it for another individual) comments he thought he was the only one. Despite that belief, he constantly uses the term in the plural, as in "Tiggers don't like honey." and "So ''that's'' what Tiggers like!", etc. The term is always capitalized.

Hi Rick, hope all is well and you are enjoying 2018. I have a quick question on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conduct_of_Mister_Wiki_editors&curid=55941286&diff=818263092&oldid=816524815 this edit], since the case was already accepted, it is a bit confusing. Does this mean you plan to be active on the case? Just asking as you had been marked as inactive on the PD talk.

Tigger also appears in the Disney cartoon versions of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, beginning with ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'' in 1968. He has even starred in his own film, ''[[The Tigger Movie]]'' ([[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], 2000), along with his friends from the [[Hundred Acre Wood]].

Tigger was originally voiced by [[Paul Winchell]]. Since 1990, he has been voiced by [[Jim Cummings]] (who is also the voice of Pooh), with the exception of ''[[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]]'' (1997), ''[[A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving]]'' (1998), and ''[[Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine For You]]'' (1999), in which Winchell reprised the role of Tigger. On some albums and read-along cassettes in the early 1990s, [[Ed Gilbert]] voiced Tigger. Also, [[Will Ryan]] voiced Tigger in the [[Disney Channel]] program ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]''.
== Administrators' newsletter – January 2018 ==


In the movies, Tigger sings his own theme song, "[[The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers]]", written by the [[Sherman Brothers]]. According to the song, Tigger is "the only one" &mdash; a fact that leads to his search for his family in ''[[The Tigger Movie]]''.

In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' and subsequent cartoons, Tigger lives in a large treehouse. A tire swing hangs prominently from a branch of the tree. In [[The Tigger Movie]], Tigger builds a makeshift addition (gluing the shingles on with honey) in anticipation of a hoped-for visit by members of his family. This "family room" is eventually relocated to serve as a replacement for Eeyore's collapse-prone house of sticks.

===Personality traits===
[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
Tigger's personality in the cartoons is much like his personality in the book. He is very confident and has quite an ego, he often thinks of himself as being handsome, and some of his other comments suggest he has a high opinion of himself. Tigger is always filled with great energy and optimism, and though always well-meaning, he can also be mischievous, and his actions have sometimes led to chaos and trouble for himself and his friends. Also, he often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realize they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. As in the books, Tigger never refers to himself as a tiger, but as a "Tigger". When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name is: "T-I-'Double-/G/'-Er (T-i-gg-er), which spells 'Tigger'".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4624547.stm |title=Disney's Tigger voice dies at 82 |accessdate=2008-10-06 |last= |first= |coauthors= |work= |publisher=BBC News | date=2005-06-26 | location=London}}</ref>

Feedback can be left on [[:meta:Talk:Community health initiative/Blocking tools and improvements|the discussion page]] or [[Special:EmailUser/SPoore (WMF)|by email]].


Another of Tigger's notable personality traits is his habit of mispronouncing various words, or stressing wrong syllables in them (which is what Tiggers do best, which is why he's only one remaining). Examples of this include him pronouncing "villain" as "villian"; "ridiculous" as "ridickerous"; "recognize" as "recoganize"; and "suspicious" as "suspicerous".

A declaration often made, is that ''"Tiggers are wonderful things. Their heads are made of rubber, their tails are made of springs."'' In cartoon, he is often depicted bouncing around in ways which would make such a statement appear to be valid.

In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', Tigger is often well-meaning but usually does more harm than good. In one episode, he invented a [[bulldozer]]-like contraption intended to provide convenience for Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit, but the invention proved to have disastrous results, and Rabbit insisted that Tigger shut it down; however, in the winter, a depressed Tigger accidentally started the machine up, and it proved to be useful by [[snowplow|plowing snow]] around Piglet's house before malfunctioning. On another occasion, Tigger attempted to mimic a superhero, "The Masked Offender," bringing mayhem to the Hundred-Acre Wood. In response, Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl (unaware that the Masked Offender was actually Tigger) staged a [[hoax]] in which they made an [[inanimate]] monster from a sticky glue-like material. The plan worked, revealing Tigger as the Masked Offender, but the fake monster (which was on wheels) turned on its makers, ultimately resulting in Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl hanging by the glue from a rickety bridge. Subsequently, Tigger resumed his role as the Masked Offender, and saved his friends.

It is also shown that Tigger will jump in to help without thinking about the danger to himself. On at least three occasions, he has nearly fallen off a cliff, and ''has'' fallen two of those times, to retrieve something important (Half of the map in [[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]], his locket in [[The Tigger Movie]], and a page of [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet's]] scrapbook in [[Piglet's Big Movie]]).

Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October 1928, the year ''The House at Pooh Corner'' was first published. However, on Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birthyear as 1968, a reference to the first year Tigger appeared in a Disney production, ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]''.

Disney's Tigger is also remembered for his song ''The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers'' when he made his first appearance. However, he was not included in the Winnie the Pooh theme song until [[Winnie the Pooh (film)|the 2011 film]].

* Tigger has appeared in the ''[[Mad (TV series)|Mad]]'' episode "Pooh Grit" (a parody of ''[[True Grit (2010 film)|True Grit]]''), where Christopher Robin hires Marshall Pooh to capture Tigger after he bounced his father. He was voiced by [[Fred Tatasciore]]. Then in the next episode "Fast Hive" (a parody of ''[[Fast Five]]''), Tigger was part of Pooh's team to get honey. He and Piglet fly out of the book and end up in ''[[The Very Hungry Caterpillar]]'', where the caterpillar gives them some honey. In this episode, he was voiced by [[Kevin Shinick]].


* In [[Randy Pausch]]'s [[Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams|The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams]], he asks whether one should live their life as a Tigger or as an Eeyore. Pausch indicated that he was a "Tigger".<ref>{{cite journal

The animated series is based on a series of four environment-themed children's books titled ''Katie and Orbie Save the Planet'', illustrated by Canadian cartoonist [[Ben Wicks]] and written by his daughter Susan Wicks, which were published in 1991.<ref>http://umanitoba.ca/cm///cmarchive/vol19no4/kidsandnature.html</ref> In 1993, [[Lacewood Productions]] adapted the characters into an animated series which was originally in production until 1996, being revived five years later by [[Amberwood Entertainment]] and then cancelled in 2002. Contrary to the original books, the series isn't strictly environment-themed, having stories that range from having a new pet or helping their friends, to address themes like children with divorced parents, Down's Syndrome and cerebral palsy. However, some stories are still focused on protection of the environment.

The TV show was narrated by actor [[Leslie Nielsen]].
Hey so this is kind of a weird one. When this was deleted originally, it was obviously under another name, however a new user, despite consensus moved a draft that wasn't even submitted for review into main space. (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Arsh_18). It's been deleted and salted under about half a dozen titles if memory serves me correctly. See [[Rahul Ravi(Malayalam Actor)]], [[Rahul ravi]]. The last is pretty close to the current ([[Rahul ravi]]) by Karthikwhatever. <span style=font-size:11px>[[User:Chrissymad|<span style="color:#614051">CHRISSY</span><span style="color:#301934;font-size:11px">'''MAD'''</span>]] <span style="color:#9090C0;letter-spacing:-2px;font-size:9px">❯❯❯</span>[[User talk:Chrissymad|<span style="color:#614051;font-size=11px">¯\_(ツ)_/¯</span>]]</span> 18:27, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

:I see that in the page history. Honestly, I would feel better about taking that to AfD, get a consensus to delete (and if needed salt that as well). The page differs enough from the one at AfD to not warrant a speedy, hence the reason I removed it.

The theme song was written by [[Edmund Eagan]] and performed by his daughter, [[Mireille Eagan]]. [[Michael Nyman]] has also provided music for the series.

During the first three seasons, most stories were written by the characters' co-creator Susan Wicks, with [[Mary Mackay-Smith]] serving as a secondary writer. For seasons 4–6, all stories were written by Mackay-Smith.

Unlike most TV shows, the animation on ''Katie and Orbie'' is similar to a slideshow, instead of coming to life, also, none of the characters actually speak, so a variety of [[sound effects]] are used during the stories. ''[[Pumper Pups]]'', a TV series produced by Amberwood Entertainment in 2000, also used this style of animation, and it was also narrated by Leslie Nielsen.

International rights for the series were first owned by [[Entertainment Rights]] (which was also a producer company on seasons 4–6), which on 2009 was merged into [[Classic Media]]. On March 25, 2010, Canadian company [[E1 Entertainment]] signed a deal with Amberwood Entertainment on which E1 obtained the worldwide distribution rights to several of Amberwood Entertainment's TV shows, including all 78 episodes of ''Katie and Orbie''.<ref>http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/March2010/25/c5060.html</ref>

==Main characters==
* '''Katie''' - A five-year-old girl who is, essentially, the main character of the show. She has blonde hair, and almost always wears a green and white striped t-shirt with blue [[overalls]]. Katie is imaginative, playful, curious and usually quite happy. She lives with her best friend Orbie and her parents in a suburb of an unnamed city. Her sound effects include a characteristic laugh, as well as occasional sighing, yelling and crying sounds. Those sound effects, as well as her "voice" during the Did You Know? segments, are made by Amanda Tripp.

* '''Orbie''' - A small and pink [[Extraterrestrial life|alien]], he has red polka dots on his body (early episodes show him having the capacity to change the color of his dots, depending on how he feels), who is from an unknown planet which is "far away out past the moon". The book ''Katie and Orbie Pick Up the Garbage'', one of the books on which the series is based, implies that he was sent away from his home planet because it was too polluted to sustain life, and the destiny of his native family or his species is unknown. While travelling in a small spaceship, he reached Earth and just happened to land in Katie's backyard, and immediately he and Katie became best friends, resulting in him being "adopted" by Katie's parents. He's apparently the same age as Katie. He speaks in a unique series of squeaks and chirps (often referred to as 'honks') that people appear to be able to understand despite that fact that he isn't speaking any known language. With the exception of ''I Don't Want to be Different'' (the last story of the first episode), people are shown to be oblivious to the fact that he's an alien, and treat him like a normal person (In that story a group of kids at a restaurant look surprised at Orbie, making him feel embarrassed). He doesn't wear clothes or appear to require them; however, he does wear clothing and boots if it's raining, cold or snowing. He is a natural acrobat, often breaking into leaps and flips out of sheer joy and has pads on his fingers and toes which enable him to climb walls and hang from the ceiling. He can also use these pads to help him climb other things, but they work best on flat surfaces. He sleeps in Katie's closet, hanging upside down from the bar like a [[bat]]. His sound effects are made by Chris Wightman.

* '''Wayne''' - Katie's father as well as Orbie's adoptive father. He is always referred to as "Dad", but his real name is mentioned in the episode ''The Thunderstorm''. He works at an office building, but his actual job is unclear. He is very thoughtful towards Katie, Orbie, and his wife, Susan.

* '''Susan''' - Katie's mother and Orbie's adoptive mother. She is always referred to as "Mom", but her real name is mentioned in the episode ''Mrs. Parette's Picture''.

The family's surname was never given. Also, both Wayne's parents (Katie's paternal grandparents) and Susan's parents (maternal grandparents) have appeared on the show. Wayne's parents live in an apartment building in the city, while Susan's parents live in an old house in the same suburb where the characters live.

==Friends and other characters==
* '''Mrs. Elaine Parette''' - A friend of the family, she is an old woman who likes children and is usually seen baking cakes or cookies for them. She has a big willow in her garden which serves as a hideout for Katie, Orbie and their friends. She has at least one daughter, as well as at least two grandchildren. She is always referred simply as ''Mrs. Parette'', being one of the few characters that has a surname. Her name, Elaine, was mentioned by Katie's mother in the story ''Mrs. Parette's Picture'', which was her first appearance.

* '''Chance''' - The family's [[cat]]. She has orange fur, except for her left ear which has white fur.
:First appearance: ''The Day Chance Found a New Home'', but first seen as a background on ''Katie's First Sleepover''

* '''Andy''' - A boy who resembles Katie, although his hair is paler. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother and his stepfather named Harry. He is one of the three "regular" friends of the main characters, the other two being Arthur and Yee Ping.
:First appearance: ''Andy's Birthday Present''

* '''Arthur''' - A boy who was at first a bully, who gets angry easily and can even hit someone who is bothering him (Katie on only one occasion). Later, his appearance was changed and he was depicted as a simple boy, although a bit mischievous, who plays normally with the other kids.
:First appearance: ''The Day Arthur Smacked Katie''

* '''Yee Ping''' - A girl of Chinese origin, who is very friendly and has even taught Katie and Orbie some Chinese traditions. After Orbie, she was Katie's second friend introduced on the series. When she was introduced, her skin was light brown, however during the course of the series her skin becomes white.
:First appearance: ''Yee Ping''

* '''Kyra''' - A young girl, with the same hair color as Andy, usually wearing a diadem over it. She has [[asthma]] and, on a later appearance, also wears [[glasses]]. Her parents are never seen, only her grandmother has appeared. She mostly appears during seasons 2 and 3. Along with Dakota, she is rarely seen during the Amberwood Entertainment seasons.
:First appearance: ''Everybody Counts'', but formally introduced on ''Kyra'', a later episode.

* '''Phoebe and Bryn''' - Sisters who are always seen together. Phoebe is the youngest and Bryn is the oldest. Phoebe has blonde hair, and Bryn has brown hair. Bryn has an [[egg allergy]].
:First appearance: ''Does It Have Eggs In It?''

* '''Dakota''' - a Native American boy. Although a common character on the Lakewood seasons, he is practically written out on the Amberwood Entertainment seasons, only appearing a few times, and is "replaced" by the Latin character Miguel.
:First appearance: ''The Pow-Wow''

* '''Micah''' - A nine-year-old boy who has [[Down Syndrome]]. He lives on a [[farm]] with his mother named Ara. On his mother's farm they have several animals, including a mare named Spirit, and her newborn colt, Sprite.
:First appearance: ''Andy's Birthday Present'', but formally introduced on ''Drumsticks'', a later episode.

* '''Tom''' - A young adult who usually serves as Katie and Orbie's [[babysitter]].
:First appearance: ''The Baby Sitter''

* '''Polly''' - Tom's girlfriend. Like Tom, she likes children very much and loves to play with them. Orbie once had a crush on her. Her appearances are scarce. Her appearance changed between episodes, first she had red, curly hair and white skin, and later she had straight, black hair with a ponytail, and black skin.
:First appearance: ''Puppy Love''

* '''Belkis''' - A girl that does not speak English. It is unknown from what country she came from, although the name Belkis is of Hebrew origin.
:First appearance: ''Belkis''

* '''Charisse''' - A black girl who has [[cerebral palsy]] and uses a [[wheelchair]], she lives with her mother in an apartment. Her appearances are scarce.
:First appearance: ''Charisse''

* '''Miguel''' - A Latin boy who joins the series by the end of the 4th season as sort of a replacement for Dakota, although his appearances are scarce.
:First appearance: ''Tom's Pool Party''

* '''Charlie and Megan Cobbington''' - Siblings who are neighbours to Katie and Orbie, along with their parents. Charlie and the parents are written out of the show after season 2, but Megan still makes brief appearances on season 3 before being written out too.
:First appearance: ''The Story Dress''

* '''Greg, Jenny and baby Megan''' - A young couple and their baby girl who are neighbours of Katie and Orbie's family. They appear only in a few stories. They also have a dog named Bruce.
:First appearance: ''The New Baby''

* '''Kerry''' - A Caribbean girl who had been Katie's best friend for an unspecified time, and in her only appearance (episode ''Close to My Heart'') she and her parents moved to another town because her father had got a new job. Ironically, despite being referred to as Katie's best friend, she never appeared before and is never seen or mentioned after the aforementioned story. Mrs. Parette gave her and Katie two heart-shaped collars with photos of both, so they could remember their friendship.

A handful of other minor characters have appeared during the series.

==Episodes==
''Main article'': [[List of Katie and Orbie episodes]]

The TV series started production in 1993 by [[Lacewood Productions]], which created thirteen half-hour episodes each consisting of three unrelated stories of seven minutes each, and two interstitial segments titled ''Did You Know?'' of thirty seconds each. The series debuted in 1994 on Family Channel and quickly became a success, prompting Lacewood to create two further seasons of the show in 1995 and 1996. Beginning with the third season in 1996, the series began to use [[digital ink and paint]] for coloring.

In 1997, after producing 39 episodes for the show, Lacewood Productions closed down and production of the series was suspended. In 2000, Lacewood was reformed under the name [[Amberwood Entertainment]], which alongside [[Entertainment Rights]] began production of 26 more episodes for the show, which debuted on the Family Channel the next year. However, the revival of the series was short-lived, as in 2002 after the sixth season the series was cancelled.

A total of 234 individual stories were produced, three per each half-hour episode. Each episode also had two instertitial segments titled ''Did You Know?'' which tells viewers small pieces of information regarding several subjects, such as plants, flowers, animals, the body and arts. These segments are narrated off-screen by Katie (voiced by Amanda Tripp).

Each episode is structured by the opening theme, the first story, a ''Did You Know?'' interstitial segment, the second story, another ''Did You Know?'' interstitial segment, the third story and the closing credits.

==Airing==

* {{CAN}}: [[Family (TV channel)|Family]] from its premiere in 1994 to December 2012.

From 2007 until 2012, both Family and Disney Junior only showed the series during overnight hours, when many children are asleep. Presumably, the show was still aired on those channels, in order to fulfill the [[Canadian content]] rules.

* {{USA}}: [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] (1996–1997); [[Playhouse Disney]] (1997–2000). The airing rights for the show were acquired by PBS during 1995, and it premiered in PBS stations on January 28, 1996,<ref>http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67757715.html</ref> becoming the second animated show to air on PBS (''[[The Magic School Bus (TV series)|The Magic School Bus]]'' was the first), however it was dropped off PBS in early 1997, at the time it was picked up by [[Disney Channel]] to be aired on its new [[Playhouse Disney]] block until September 2000. It has not been seen on any US channel since then, however it could be seen on CBeebies, as the channel is available inside the USA on the Spanish Mexico package of [[Dish Network]], channel 848. Seasons 4-6 remain unseen in the US.

* [[Latin America]]: [[CBeebies]] (2008–2010) This Spanish version, dubbed in Mexico, is narrated by Mexican voice actor [[Alejandro Villeli]], with voice actress [[Leyla Rangel]] singing the theme song and narrating the ''Did You Know?'' segments. The channel aired the episodes in order, Monday to Friday; on weekends, repeats of the episodes aired on Monday and Tuesday were shown. From June 2009 until its removal, the channel reran the episodes shown on Friday the following Monday. The full run of 78 episodes was shown four times (with the first 67 episodes airing a fifth time before its removal). The channel aired the show only in the evenings at 8:30 pm and later 9:30 pm (although from August–December 2008, it also aired on weekend afternoons). The show was suddenly removed from CBeebies on April 12, 2010 and replaced by [[Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies]]. It has not been shown in the region since then. Is also the only version to have all 78 episodes dubbed.

'''''The Brave Little Toaster''''' is a 1987 American [[Animation|animated]] [[adventure film]] adapted from the 1980 [[The Brave Little Toaster|novel of the same name]] by [[Thomas Disch]]. The film was directed by [[Jerry Rees]]. The film is set in a world where [[Home appliance|household appliances]] and other electronics have the [[Anthropomorphism|ability to speak and move]], pretending to be lifeless in the presence of humans. The story focuses on five appliances&mdash; a [[toaster]], a desk [[lamp (fixture)|lamp]], an [[electric blanket]], a vacuum tube [[radio]], and a [[vacuum cleaner]]&mdash;who go on a quest to search for their original owner.

The film was produced by [[Hyperion Pictures]] along with [[The Kushner-Locke Company]]. Many of the original members of [[Pixar|Pixar Animation Studios]] were involved with this film, including [[John Lasseter]] and [[Joe Ranft]]. While the film received a [[Limited release|limited theatrical release]], ''The Brave Little Toaster'' was popular on home video and was followed by two sequels a decade later. (''[[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'' and ''[[The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue]]'')

==Plot==
Five appliances—a [[radio]], ''Radio'' ([[Jon Lovitz]]); a [[Gooseneck lamp|lamp]], ''Lampy'' ([[Timothy Stack|Tim Stack]]); an [[electric blanket]], ''Blanky'' ([[Timothy E. Day]]); a [[vacuum cleaner]], ''Kirby'' ([[Thurl Ravenscroft]]); and a [[toaster]], ''Toaster'' ([[Deanna Oliver]])—live in an vacant cabin located in the countryside. Each day they await their "Master", a child whom they have not seen for many years, with a growing sense of abandonment. When a car stops at the cabin and turns out to be a [[real estate broker]] placing a "for sale" sign, the appliances spiral into despair. Unable to accept that the Master would abandon them, Toaster decides that the group should head out and find the Master. The appliances rig up a [[car battery]] to an [[office chair]] pulled by Kirby and set out into the world, following the Radio's signal broadcasted from the city, where the Master lives.

From the cabin to the big city, the appliances have many harrowing adventures where they slowly learn to work together. Shortly after stopping to rest within a forest, a violent storm during nightfall wakes Toaster and the others and blows Blanky up into the trees, and Lampy risks his life by using himself as a [[lightning rod]] to recharge the group's dead battery. After recovering Blanky, the group tries to cross a waterfall, only to have everyone fall in except for Kirby. Kirby dives after them and rescues them, and the appliances wash up into the middle of a swamp. After losing both the chair and the battery, the group resorts to pulling a disabled Kirby through the swamp. After almost drowning in [[quicksand]], they are rescued by Elmo St. Peters, the owner of an appliance parts store. At the store they meet a group of partially dismantled or broken appliances, who have given up on hope and await being disassembled and sold. After Radio is taken from the shelf and is about to have his [[radio tube]]s extracted, the appliances trick St. Peters and flee to the city.

The Master, whose name is revealed to be Rob (Wayne Kaatz), lives in an apartment as a young adult and is about to depart for [[college]]. Rob leaves with his girlfriend Chris (Colette Savage) to head back to the cabin to pick up the appliances to take with him. The modern electronics in the apartment become disappointed and jealous. When the appliances arrive at Rob's apartment, the modern appliances convince them that they are outdated and unusable, tossing them into the garbage, where they are shortly transported to Ernie's Disposal, a [[Wrecking yard|junkyard]]. Rob and Chris return home after thinking his original appliances have been stolen. Rob's [[black and white television]] ([[Jonathan Benair]]), who originally lived with the appliances, broadcasts fake advertisements and convinces Rob and Chris to look at Ernie's Disposal for replacements.

At the junkyard, the appliances lose hope and put themselves at the mercy of a giant [[Electromagnet|magnetic crane]] that picks up junk and places it on a conveyor belt that leads into a [[car crusher]]. When they discover that Rob is in the junkyard, they are encouraged and attempt to foil the magnetic crane in order to allow Rob to find them. After being thwarted several times, the magnetic crane picks up Rob himself as well as the appliances, except for Toaster, and drops them on the compactor's conveyor belt. Toaster sacrifices himself by leaping into the compactor's drive gears to stop the machine from destroying the appliances and killing Rob. Rob returns to the apartment with all of the appliances in tow, including a now mangled Toaster. Rob repairs the Toaster and takes all of them to college with him.

==Cast==
* [[Deanna Oliver]] as Toaster, a gallant [[Sunbeam_Products|Sunbeam toaster]] and inspiring leader of the five appliances and the main protagonist of the film. Jerry Rees, the film's director, called the character "warm enough to put up with everyone else. And the other characters seeing themselves reflected in its surface, feel an immediate kinship." <ref name="RedditAMA">{{cite web|url=http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/104bza/im_jerry_rees_director_of_the_brave_little|title=I'm Jerry Rees, Director of "The Brave Little Toaster" - ask me anything.|date=2012-09-18|publisher=Reddit}}</ref>

==Production==
The film rights to ''The Brave Little Toaster'', the original novel, were bought by the Disney studios in 1982, two years after its appearance in print. After animators [[John Lasseter]] and [[Glen Keane]] had finished a short 2D/3D test film based on the book ''[[Where the Wild Things Are]]'', Lasseter and producer Thomas L. Wilhite decided they wanted to make a whole feature this way. The story they chose was ''The Brave Little Toaster'', but in their enthusiasm, they ran into issues pitching the idea to two high level Disney executives, animation administrator Ed Hansen, and Disney president [[Ron W. Miller]]. During Lasseter and Wilhite's pitch, the film was rejected due to the costs of having traditionally animated characters inside then expensive computer-generated backgrounds. A few minutes after the meeting, Lasseter received a phone call from Hansen and was asked to come down to his office, where Lasseter was told that he was dismissed. The development was then transferred to the new Hyperion Pictures, the creation of former Disney employees Wilhite and executive producer [[Willard Carroll]], who took the production along with them.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref>

With Disney backing the project, ''Toaster'' soon turned into an independent effort; the electronics company [[TDK]] and video distributor [[CBS-Fox]] soon joined in. In 1986, Hyperion began to work on the story and characters, with Taiwan's [[Wang Film Productions]] for the overseas unit.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> The cost was reduced to $2.3 million as production began. [[Jerry Rees]], a crew member on two previous Disney films, ''[[The Fox and the Hound (film)|The Fox and the Hound]]'' and ''[[Tron]]'', and a friend of Lasseter, was chosen to direct the film, and was also a writer on the screenplay along with [[Joe Ranft]]. Rees' inspiration for voice casting came from the [[Groundlings]] improvisational group, some of whose members ([[Jon Lovitz]], [[Phil Hartman]], [[Timothy Stack]], and [[Mindy Sterling]]) voiced characters in the film. At the time, Lovitz and Hartman were stars of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. The color stylist was veteran Disney animator Ken O'Connor, a member of Disney's [[Walt Disney Feature Animation|feature animation department]] from its establishment.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref>

The film score of ''The Brave Little Toaster'' was composed and conducted by [[David Newman (composer)|David Newman]] and performed by the [[New Japan Philharmonic]]. The film contains four original songs ("City of Lights", "It's a 'B' Movie", "Cutting Edge", and "Worthless") that were written by [[Van Dyke Parks]]. Newman's score for this movie was one of his earlier works and apparently one that he felt very close to. He did not view it as a cheerful one, and decided to give the film a dramatic score to reinforce the serious nature of many of the film's themes. In writing the score, Newman, "tapped into an inherent sadness in being abandoned and seeking reunion."<ref name="RedditAMA"></ref>

==Release==
''The Brave Little Toaster'' premiered in 1987 at the Los Angeles International Animation Celebration. The following year, it was shown at the 1988 [[Sundance Film Festival]]. Though the prize went to [[Rob Nilsson]]'s ''[[Heat and Sunlight]]'', before the awards ceremony, Rees claims he was told by some of the judges that they considered ''Toaster'' the best film but they could not give the award to a cartoon as they considered people would not take the festival seriously afterwards.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MZzjeAejsg]</ref>

The film failed to find a distributor. Disney, who held the video and television rights, withdrew its official theatrical distribution, and elected to showcase it on [[Disney Channel|their new premium cable service]] instead.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-3872430.html|title=

The buzz it generated at Sundance dissipated, and it only received limited theatrical airings through Hyperion, mainly at arthouse facilities across the U.S., and most notably at the [[Film Forum]] in [[New York City]], in May 1989.

In July 1991, Disney released the film to home video. Throughout the '90s onward, it enjoyed popularity as a rental amongst children as well as a Parent's Choice Award win. The VHS was re-issued in March 1994 and in May 1998. The DVD was released in September 2003, to tie in with the film's 15th anniversary.

'''''Toy Story''''' is a 1995 American [[computer animation|computer-animated]] [[family film|family]] [[comedy film]] produced by [[Pixar]] and directed by [[John Lasseter]]. Distributed by [[Walt Disney Pictures]], ''Toy Story'' was the first feature-length [[Computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] film and the first film produced by Pixar. ''Toy Story'' follows a group of [[anthropomorphic]] [[toys]] who pretend to be lifeless whenever humans are present, and focuses on the relationship between [[Woody (Toy Story)|Woody]], a [[pullstring]] [[cowboy]] [[doll]] ([[Tom Hanks]]), and [[Buzz Lightyear]], an [[astronaut]] [[action figure]] ([[Tim Allen]]). The film was written by John Lasseter, [[Andrew Stanton]], [[Joel Cohen (writer)|Joel Cohen]], [[Alec Sokolow]], and [[Joss Whedon]], and featured music by [[Randy Newman]]. Its executive producer was [[Steve Jobs]] with [[Edwin Catmull]].

Pixar, who had been producing short animated films to promote their computers, was approached by Disney to produce a computer-animated feature after the success of the short ''[[Tin Toy]]'' (1988), which is told from the perspective of a toy. Lasseter, Stanton, and [[Pete Docter]] wrote early story treatments which were thrown out by Disney, who pushed for a more edgy film. After disastrous story reels, production was halted and the script was re-written, better reflecting the tone and theme Pixar desired: that "toys deeply want children to play with them, and that this desire drives their hopes, fears, and actions."<ref name="PixarTouch05"/> The studio, then consisting of a relatively small number of employees, produced the film under minor financial constraints.<ref name=ew7/><ref name="Isaacson208"/>

==Plot==
<!-- PER WP:FILMPLOT, PLOT SUMMARIES FOR FEATURE FILMS SHOULD BE BETWEEN 400 AND 700 WORDS. -->
[[Sheriff Woody|Woody]] ([[Tom Hanks]]) is a [[pullstring|pull-string]] [[cowboy]] [[doll]] and leader of a group of toys that belong to a boy named [[Andy Davis (Toy Story)|Andy Davis]] ([[John Morris]]), which act lifeless when humans are present. With his family moving homes one week before his birthday, Andy is given a week early party to spend with his friends. The toys stage a [[reconnaissance mission]] to discover Andy's new presents. Andy receives a space ranger [[Buzz Lightyear]] ([[Tim Allen]]) [[action figure]], whose impressive features see him replacing Woody as Andy's favorite toy. Woody is resentful, especially as Buzz also gets attention from the other toys. However Buzz believes himself to be a real space ranger on a mission to return to his home planet, as Woody fails to convince him he is a toy.

Andy prepares for a family outing at the space themed [[Pizza Planet]] restaurant with Buzz. Woody attempts to be picked by misplacing Buzz. He intends to trap Buzz in a gap behind Andy's desk, but the plan goes disastrously wrong when he accidentally knocks Buzz out the window, resulting in him being accused of murdering Buzz out of jealousy. With Buzz missing, Andy takes Woody to Pizza Planet, but Buzz climbs into the car and confronts Woody when they stop at a gas station. The two fight and fall out of the car, which drives off and leaves them behind. Woody spots a truck bound for Pizza Planet and plans to rendezvous with Andy there, convincing Buzz to come with him by telling him it will take him to his home planet. Once at Pizza Planet, Buzz makes his way into a [[claw game]] machine shaped like a spaceship, thinking it to be the ship Woody promised him. Inside, he finds squeaky aliens who revere the claw arm as their master. When Woody clambers into the machine to rescue Buzz, the aliens force the two towards the claw and they are captured by Andy’s neighbor [[Sid (Toy Story)|Sid Phillips]] ([[Erik Von Detten]]), who finds amusement in torturing and destroying toys.

At Sid's house, the two attempt to escape before Andy's moving day, encountering Sid’s nightmarish toy creations and his vicious dog, Scud ([[Frank Welker]]). Buzz sees a commercial for Buzz Lightyear action figures and realizes that he really is a toy. Attempting to fly to test this, Buzz falls and loses one of his arms, going into depression and unable to cooperate with Woody. Woody waves Buzz’s arm from a window to seek help from the toys in Andy’s room, but they are horrified thinking Woody attacked him, while Woody realizes Sid's toys are friendly when they reconnect Buzz's arm. Sid prepares to destroy Buzz by strapping him to a [[fireworks|rocket]], but is delayed that evening by a [[thunderstorm]]. Woody convinces Buzz that life is worth living because of the joy he can bring to Andy, which helps Buzz regain his spirit. Cooperating with Sid's toys, Woody rescues Buzz and scares Sid away by coming to life in front of him, warning him to never torture toys again. Woody and Buzz then wave goodbye to the mutant toys and return home through a fence, but miss Andy’s car as it drives away to his new house.

Down the road, they climb onto the moving truck containing Andy’s other toys, but Scud chases them, bites down on Woody's leg and tries to pull him off. Buzz tackles the dog to save Woody. Woody attempts to rescue Buzz with Andy's [[radio-controlled car|RC car]] but the other toys, who think Woody now got rid of RC, attack Woody and toss him off onto the road. Spotting Woody driving RC back with Buzz alive, the other toys realize their mistake and try to help. When RC's batteries become depleted, Woody ignites the rocket on Buzz's back and manages to throw RC into the moving truck before they soar into the air. Buzz opens his wings to cut himself free before the rocket explodes, gliding with Woody to land safely into a box in Andy’s car. Andy looks into it and is elated to have found his two missing toys.

On [[Christmas Day]] at their new house, Buzz and Woody stage another reconnaissance mission to prepare for the new toy arrivals, one of which is a [[Mrs. Potato Head]], much to the delight of [[Mr. Potato Head (Toy Story)|Mr. Potato Head]] ([[Don Rickles]]). As Woody jokingly asks what might be worse than Buzz, the two share a worried smile as they discover Andy's new gift is a puppy.

Director John Lasseter's first experience with computer animation was during his work as an animator at Disney, when two of his friends showed him the lightcycle scene from ''[[Tron]]''. It was an eye-opening experience which awakened Lasseter to the possibilities offered by the new medium of computer-generated animation.<ref name="PaikInfinity38">{{cite book|last=Paik|first=Karen|title=To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios|url=http://books.google.com/?id=uDAGknVpUwgC&pg=PA104&dq=buzz+lightyear+to+infinity+and+beyond#PPA38,M1|accessdate=March 13, 2009|publisher=[[Chronicle Books]]|location=San Francisco|year=2007|page=38|isbn=0-8118-5012-9}}</ref> Lasseter tried to pitch the idea of a fully computer-animated film to Disney, but the idea was rejected and Lasseter was fired. He then went on to work at [[Lucasfilm]] and later as a founding member of Pixar, which was purchased by entrepreneur and [[Apple Inc.]] founder [[Steve Jobs]] in 1986.<ref name="PaikInfinity41">{{cite book|last=Paik|first=Karen|title=To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios|publisher=[[Chronicle Books]]|location=San Francisco|year=2007|page=41|isbn=0-8118-5012-9}}</ref> At Pixar, Lasseter created short, computer-animated films to show off the Pixar Image Computer's capabilities, and ''[[Tin Toy]]'' (1988) —a short told from the perspective of a toy, referencing Lasseter's love of classic toys— would go on to claim the 1988 Academy Award for animated short films, the first computer-generated film to do so.<ref name="Isaacson181"/> ''Tin Toy'' gained Disney's attention, and the new team at Disney—CEO [[Michael Eisner]] and chairman [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] in the film division —began a quest to get Lasseter to come back.<ref name="Isaacson181"/> Lasseter, grateful for Jobs’ faith in him, felt compelled to stay with Pixar, telling co-founder [[Ed Catmull]], "I can go to Disney and be a director, or I can stay here and make history."<ref name="Isaacson181"/> Katzenberg realized he could not lure Lasseter back to Disney and therefore set plans into motion to ink a production deal with Pixar to produce a film.<ref name="Isaacson181">{{cite book|last=Isaacson|first=Walter|title=[[Steve Jobs (book)|Steve Jobs]]|accessdate=August 2, 2012|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|location=[[New York City|New York]]|year=2011|page=181|isbn=1-4516-4853-7}}</ref>

Both sides were willing. Catmull and fellow Pixar co-founder [[Alvy Ray Smith]] had long wanted to produce a computer-animated feature.<ref name="PixarTouch01">Price, p. 117</ref> In addition, The Walt Disney Company had licensed Pixar's [[Computer Animation Production System]] (CAPS), and that made it the largest customer for Pixar’s computers.<ref name="Isaacson206"/> Jobs made it apparent to Katzenberg that although Disney was happy with Pixar, it was not the other way around: "We want to do a film with you," said Jobs. "That would make us happy."<ref name="Isaacson206">{{cite book|last=Isaacson|first=Walter|title=[[Steve Jobs (book)|Steve Jobs]]|accessdate=August 2, 2012|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|location=[[New York City|New York]]|year=2011|page=206|isbn=1-4516-4853-7}}</ref> At this same time, [[Peter Schneider (film executive)|Peter Schneider]], president of [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]], was potentially interested in making a feature film with Pixar.<ref name="PixarTouch01"/> When Catmull, Smith and head of animation Ralph Guggenheim met with Schneider in the summer of 1990, they found the atmosphere to be puzzling and contentious. They later learned that Katzenberg intended that if Disney were to make a film with Pixar, it would be outside Schneider's purview, which aggravated Schneider.<ref name="PixarTouch02">Price, p. 118</ref> After that first meeting, the Pixar contingent went home with low expectations and were surprised when Katzenberg called for another conference. Catmull, Smith and Guggenheim were joined by Bill Reeves (head of animation research and development), Jobs, and Lasseter. They brought with them an idea for a half-hour television special called ''A Tin Toy Christmas''. They reasoned that a television program would be a sensible way to gain experience before tackling a feature film.<ref name="PixarTouch03"/>

They met with Katzenberg at a conference table in the Team Disney building at the company's headquarters in [[Burbank, California|Burbank]].<ref name="PixarTouch03">Price, p. 119</ref> Catmull and Smith considered it would be difficult to keep Katzenberg interested in working with the company over time. They considered it even more difficult to sell Lasseter and the junior animators on the idea of working with Disney, who had a bad reputation for how they treated their animators, and Katzenberg, who had built a reputation as a micromanaging tyrant.<ref name="PixarTouch03"/> Katzenberg asserted this himself in the meeting: "Everybody thinks I’m a tyrant. I ''am'' a tyrant. But I’m usually right."<ref name="Isaacson206"/> He threw out the idea of a half-hour special and eyed Lasseter as the key talent in the room: "John, since you won't come work for me, I'm going to make it work this way."<ref name="Isaacson206"/><ref name="PixarTouch03"/> He invited the six visitors to mingle with the animators—"ask them anything at all"—and the men did so, finding they all backed up Katzenberg's statements. Lasseter felt he would be able to work with Disney and the two companies began negotiations.<ref name="PixarTouch04">Price, p. 120</ref> Pixar at this time was on the verge of bankruptcy and needed a deal with Disney.<ref name="Isaacson206"/> Katzenberg insisted that Disney be given the rights to Pixar’s proprietary technology for making 3-D animation, but Jobs refused.<ref name="PixarTouch04"/> In another case, Jobs demanded Pixar would have part ownership of the film and its characters, sharing control of both video rights and sequels, but Katzenberg refused.<ref name="Isaacson206"/> Disney and Pixar reached accord on contract terms in an agreement dated May 3, 1991, and signed on in early July.<ref name="PixarTouch06">Price, p. 122</ref> Eventually the deal specified that Disney would own the picture and its characters outright, have creative control, and pay Pixar about 12.5% of the ticket revenues.<ref name="KafnerSerBiz103">{{cite book|last=Kanfer|first=Stefan|title=Serious Business|url=http://books.google.com/?id=wQVU6xFGX7oC&pg=PA11&dq=Toy+Story|accessdate=March 13, 2009|publisher=[[Da Capo Press]]|year=2000|page=229|isbn=0-306-80918-4}}</ref><ref name="BizWeekBOX"/> It had the option (but not the obligation) to do Pixar’s next two films and the right to make (with or without Pixar) sequels using the characters in the film. Disney could also kill the film at any time with only a small penalty. These early negotiations would become a point of contention between Jobs and Eisner for many years.<ref name="Isaacson206"/>

An agreement to produce a feature film based on ''Tin Toy'' with a working title of ''Toy Story'' was finalized and production began soon thereafter.<ref name="PixMagicMan">{{cite news|last=Schlender|first=Brent|url=http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/15/magazines/fortune/pixar_futureof_fortune_052906/index.htm|title=Pixar's magic man|date=May 17, 2006|publisher=[[CNNMoney.com]]|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref>

===Writing===
The original treatment for ''Toy Story'', drafted by Lasseter, [[Andrew Stanton]], and [[Pete Docter]], had little in common with the eventual finished film.<ref name="PixarTouch05"/> It paired Tinny, the one-man band from ''Tin Toy'' with a ventriloquist's dummy and sent them on a sprawling odyssey. The core idea of ''Toy Story'' was present from the treatment onward, however: that "toys deeply want children to play with them, and that this desire drives their hopes, fears, and actions."<ref name="PixarTouch05">Price, p. 121</ref> Katzenberg felt the original treatment was problematic and told Lasseter to reshape ''Toy Story'' as more of an odd-couple buddy picture, and suggested they watch some classic buddy movies, such as ''[[The Defiant Ones]]'' and ''[[48 Hrs.]]'', in which two characters with different attitudes are thrown together and have to bond.<ref name="PixarTouch07"/><ref name="Isaacson207"/> Lasseter, Stanton, and Docter emerged in early September 1991 was the second treatment, and although the lead characters were still Tinny and the dummy, the outline of the final film was beginning to take shape.<ref name="PixarTouch07"/>

The script went through many changes before the final version. Lasseter decided Tinny was "too antiquated", and the character was changed to a military action figure, and then given a space theme. Tinny's name changed to Lunar Larry, then Tempus from Morph, and eventually Buzz Lightyear (after astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]]).<ref name="PixarTouch08">Price, p. 125</ref> Lightyear's design was modeled on the suits worn by Apollo astronauts as well as [[G.I. Joe]] action figures.<ref name="BuzzDesign">{{cite news|title=Disney's Buzz Lightyear and Wall-E explore space for NASA|publisher=[[Space.com]]|date=June 24, 2008|url=http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-062408a.html|accessdate=March 13, 2009}}</ref><ref name="PaikInfinity103">{{cite book|last=Paik|first=Karen|title=To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios|url=http://books.google.com/?id=uDAGknVpUwgC&pg=PA104&dq=buzz+lightyear+to+infinity+and+beyond#PPA103,M1|accessdate=March 13, 2009|publisher=[[Chronicle Books]]|location=San Francisco|year=2007|page=103|isbn=0-8118-5012-9}}</ref> Woody the second character, was inspired by a [[Casper the Friendly Ghost]] doll that Lasseter had when he was a child. Originally Woody was a ventriloquist's dummy with a pull-string (hence the name Woody). However, character designer, [[Bud Luckey]] suggested that Woody could be changed to a cowboy ventriloquist dummy, John Lasseter liked the contrast between the [[Western (genre)|Western]] genre and the [[science fiction|Sci-Fi]] genre and the character immediately changed. Eventually all the ventriloquist dummy aspects of the character were deleted, because the dummy was designed to look "sneaky and mean."<ref name="PixarTouch09">Price, p. 126</ref> However they kept the name Woody to pay homage to the Western actor [[Woody Strode]].<ref name="PixarTouch08"/> The story department drew inspiration from films such as ''[[Midnight Run]]'' and ''[[The Odd Couple (film)|The Odd Couple]]'',<ref name="MidnightRunInfluence">{{cite web|url=http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12024 |title=Charlie Rose Interview of John Lasseter |accessdate=(Dec 2, 2011)}}</ref> and Lasseter screened [[Hayao Miyazaki]]'s ''[[Castle in the Sky]]'' (1986) for further influence.<ref name="PixarTouch10"/>

''Toy Story''{{'}}s script was strongly influenced by the ideas of screenwriter [[Robert McKee]]. The members of Pixar's story team—Lasseter, Stanton, Docter and [[Joe Ranft]]—were aware that most of them were beginners at writing for feature films. None of them had any feature story or writing credits to their name besides Ranft, who had taught a story class at [[CalArts]] and did some storyboard work prior.<ref name="PixarTouch09"/> Seeking insight, Lasseter and Docter attended a three-day seminar in [[Los Angeles]] given by McKee. His principles, grounded in [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[Poetics (Aristotle)|Poetics]]'', dictated that a character emerges most realistically and compellingly from the choices that the protagonist makes in reaction to his problems.<ref name="PixarTouch10">Price, p. 127</ref> Disney also appointed [[Joel Cohen (writer)|Joel Cohen]], [[Alec Sokolow]] and, later, Joss Whedon to help develop the script. Whedon found that the script wasn't working but had a great structure, and added the character of Rex and sought a pivotal role for Barbie.<ref name="PixarTouch11">Price, p. 128</ref> The story team continued to touch up the script as production was underway. Among the late additions was the encounter between Buzz and the alien squeak toys at Pizza Planet, which emerged from a brainstorming session with a dozen directors, story artists, and animators from Disney.<ref name="PixarTouch19"/>

===Casting===
Katzenberg gave approval for the script on January 19, 1993, at which point voice casting could begin.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Lasseter always wanted Tom Hanks to play the character of Woody. Lasseter claimed Hanks "... has the ability to take emotions and make them appealing. Even if the character, like the one in ''[[A League of Their Own]]'', is down-and-out and despicable."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> [[Billy Crystal]] was approached to play Buzz, but turned down the role, which he later regretted, although he would voice Mike Wazowski in Pixar's later success, ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]''.<ref name="BillyCrystal">{{cite web|url=http://www.crankycritic.com/qa/pf_articles/billycrystal.html|title=Billy Crystal – Cranky Critic StarTalk|last=Fischer|first=Paul|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref><ref name="BillyCrystalCT">{{cite news|last=Pearlman|first=Cindy|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=CSTB&p_theme=cstb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EF7B35B6B4F1765&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|title=Crystal clear on 'Monsters'|format=Fee required|date=October 28, 2001|work=Chicago Sun-Times|accessdate=March 16, 2009}}</ref> Lasseter took the role to Tim Allen, who was appearing in Disney's ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', and he accepted.<ref name="PixarTouch12">Price, p. 129</ref>

To gauge how an actor's voice would fit with a character, Lasseter borrowed a common Disney technique: animate a vocal monologue from a well-established actor to meld the actor's voice with the appearance or actions of the animated character.<ref name="PixarTouch11"/> This early test footage, using Hanks' voice from ''[[Turner & Hooch]]'', convinced Hanks to sign on to the film.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/><ref name="DVDTurnerHooch">{{cite video|title=Toy Story (10th Anniversary Edition) - (Making Toy Story)|medium=DVD|publisher=Walt Disney Home Entertainment|time=6:43|date=September&nbsp;6, 2005}}</ref> ''Toy Story'' was both Hanks and Allen's first animated film role.<ref name="FirstAnimated">{{cite news|last=Michael|first=Dennis|url=http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Movies/9511/toy_story/stars/index.html|title='Toy Story' stars say being animated is hard work|date=November 25, 1995|publisher=CNN|accessdate=March 12, 2009}}</ref>

===Production shutdown===
Every couple of weeks, Lasseter and his team would put together their latest set of storyboards or footage to show Disney. In early screen tests, Pixar impressed Disney with the technical innovation but convincing Disney of the plot was more difficult. At each presentation by Pixar, Katzenberg would tear much of it up, giving out detailed comments and notes. Katzenberg’s big push was to add more edginess to the two main characters.<ref name="Isaacson207">{{cite book|last=Isaacson|first=Walter|title=[[Steve Jobs (book)|Steve Jobs]]|accessdate=August 2, 2012|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|location=[[New York City|New York]]|year=2011|page=207|isbn=1-4516-4853-7}}</ref> Disney wanted the film to appeal to both children and adults, and asked for adult references to be added to the film.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> After many rounds of notes from Katzenberg and other Disney execs, the general consensus was that Woody had been stripped of almost all charm.<ref name="Isaacson207"/><ref name="PixarTouch12">Price, p. 129</ref> Tom Hanks, while recording the dialogue for the story reels, exclaimed at one point that the character was a jerk.<ref name="Isaacson207"/> Lasseter and his Pixar team had the first half of the movie ready to screen, so they brought it down to Burbank to show to Katzenberg and other Disney executives on November 19, 1993, a day they later dubbed "Black Friday."<ref name="Isaacson208">{{cite book|last=Isaacson|first=Walter|title=[[Steve Jobs (book)|Steve Jobs]]|accessdate=August 2, 2012|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|location=[[New York City|New York]]|year=2011|page=208|isbn=1-4516-4853-7}}</ref><ref name="EWToyWonder">{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,299897,00.html|title=Toy' Wonder|date=December 8, 1995|work=Entertainment Weekly|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref> The results were disastrous, and Schneider, who was never particularly enamored of Katzenberg’s idea of having outsiders make animation for Disney, declared it a mess and ordered that production be stopped immediately.<ref name="PixarTouch13">Price, p. 130</ref> Katzenberg asked colleague Tom Schumacher why the reels were bad. Schumacher replied bluntly: "Because it’s not their movie anymore."<ref name="Isaacson208"/>

Lasseter was embarrassed with what was on the screen, later recalling, "It was a story filled with the most unhappy, mean characters that I’ve ever seen." He asked Disney for the chance to retreat back to Pixar and rework the script in two weeks, and Katzenberg was supportive.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> Lasseter, Stanton, Docter and Ranft delivered the news of the production shutdown to the production crew, many of whom had left other jobs to work on the project. In the meantime, the crew would shift to television commercials while the head writers worked out a new script. Although Lasseter kept morale high by remaining outwardly buoyant, the production shutdown was "a very scary time," recalled story department manager BZ Petroff.<ref name="PixarTouch14">Price, p. 131</ref> Schneider had initially wanted to shutdown production altogether and fire all recently hired animators.<ref name="autogenerated2005">{{cite video|title=Toy Story (10th Anniversary Edition) - (Filmmakers Reflect)|medium=DVD|publisher=Walt Disney Home Entertainment|date=September&nbsp;6, 2005}}</ref> Katzenberg put the film under the wing of Disney Feature Animation. The Pixar team was pleased that the move would give them an open door to counsel from Disney's animation veterans. Schneider, however, continued to take a dim view of the project and would later go over Katzenberg's head to urge Eisner to cancel it.<ref name="PixarTouch07">Price, p. 124</ref> Stanton retreated into a small, dark windowless office, emerging periodically with new script pages. He and the other story artists would then draw the shots on storyboards. Whedon came back to Pixar for part of the shutdown to help with revising, and the script was revised in two weeks as promised.<ref name="PixarTouch14"/> When Katzenberg and Schneider halted production on ''Toy Story'', Steve Jobs kept the work going with his own personal funding. Jobs did not insert himself much into the creative process, respecting the artists at Pixar and instead managing the relationship with Disney.<ref name="Isaacson208"/>

The Pixar team came back with a new script three months later, with the character of Woody morphed from being a tyrannical boss of Andy’s other toys to being their wise leader. It also included a more adult-oriented staff meeting amongst the toys rather than a juvenile group discussion that had existed in earlier drafts. Buzz Lightyear's character was also changed slightly "to make it more clear to the audience that he really doesn't realize he's a toy."<ref name="autogenerated2005"/> Katzenberg and Schneider approved the new approach, and by February 1994 the film was back in production.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> The voice actors returned in March 1994 to record their new lines.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> When production was greenlit, the crew quickly grew from its original size of 24 to 110, including 27 animators, 22 technical directors, and 61 other artists and engineers.<ref name=ew7/><ref name="PixarTouch15">Price, p. 133</ref> In comparison, ''[[The Lion King]]'', released in 1994, required a budget of $45&nbsp;million and a staff of 800.<ref name=ew7>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,299897_7,00.html |title='Toy Story': The Inside Buzz |publisher=EW.com |date=December 8, 1995 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref> In the early budgeting process, Jobs was eager to produce the film as efficiently as possible, impressing Katzenberg with his focus on cost-cutting. Despite this, the $17 million production budget was proving inadequate, especially given the major revision that was necessary after Katzenberg had pushed them to make Woody too edgy. Jobs demanded more funds in order to complete the film right, and insisted that Disney was liable for the cost overruns. Katzenberg was not willing, and Ed Catmull, described as "more diplomatic than Jobs," was able to reach a compromise new budget.<ref name="Isaacson208"/>

''Toy Story'' was the first fully computer animated feature film. Recruiting animators for ''Toy Story'' was brisk; the magnet for talent was not the pay, generally mediocre, but rather the allure of taking part in the first computer-animated feature.<ref name="PixarTouch15"/> Lasseter spoke on the challenges of the computer animation in the film: "We had to make things look more organic. Every leaf and blade of grass had to be created. We had to give the world a sense of history. So the doors are banged up, the floors have scuffs."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> The film began with animated storyboards to guide the animators in developing the characters. 27 animators worked on the film, using 400 computer models to animate the characters. Each character was either created out of [[Modelling clay|clay]] or was first modeled off of a computer-drawn diagram before reaching the computer animated design.<ref name="WiredMakingof">{{cite news|last=Snider|first=Burr|url=http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.12/toy.story.html|title=The Toy Story Story |date=September 18, 1995|work=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|pages=1–6|date=December 1995|accessdate=March 13, 2009}}</ref> Once the animators had a model, articulation and motion controls were coded, allowing each character to move in a variety of ways, such as talking, walking, or jumping.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/> Of all of the characters, Woody was the most complex as he required 723 motion controls, including 212 for his face and 58 for his mouth.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/><ref name="HenneMakingOf">{{cite journal|last=Henne|first=Mark|coauthors=Hal Hickel, Ewan Johnson, and Sonoks Konishi|title=The Making of Toy Story|journal=CompCon '96.

Lasseter wanted to impress Disney with a number of things in the test piece that could not be done in traditional, hand-drawn animation, such as Woody's plaid shirt or venetian blind shadows falling across the room.<ref name="PixarTouch09"/>

Every shot in the film passed through the hands of eight different teams. The art department gave a shot its color scheme and general lighting.<ref name="PixarTouch16">Price, p. 134</ref> The layout department, under Craig Good, then placed the models in the shot, framed the shot by setting the location of the virtual camera, and programmed any camera moves. To make the medium feel as familiar as possible, they sought to stay within the limits of what might be done in a live-action film with real cameras, dollies, tripods and cranes.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> From layout, a shot went to the animation department, headed by directing animators Rich Quade and [[Ash Brannon]]. Lasseter opted against Disney's approach of assigning an animator to work on a character throughout a film, but made certain exceptions in scenes where he felt acting was particularly critical.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> The animators used the Menv program to set the character into a desired pose. Once a sequence of hand-built poses, or "[[keyframe]]s", was created, the software would build the poses from the frames in-between.<ref name="PixarTouch17">Price, p. 135</ref> The animators studied videotapes of the actors for inspiration, and Lasseter rejected automatic lip-syncing.<ref name="PixarTouch17"/> To sync the characters' mouths and facial expressions to the actors' voices, animators spent a week per 8 seconds of animation.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/>

After this the animators would compile the scenes, and develop a new storyboard with the computer animated characters. Animators then added shading, lighting, visual effects, and finally used 300 computer processors to render the film to its final design.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/><ref name="HenneMakingOf"/> The shading team, under Tom Porter, used RenderMan's shader language to create shader programs for each of a model's surfaces. A few surfaces in ''Toy Story'' came from real objects: a shader for the curtain fabric in Andy's room used a scan of actual cloth.<ref name="PixarTouch18">Price, p. 136</ref> After animation and shading, the final lighting of the shot was orchestrated by the lighting team, under Galyn Susman and Sharon Calahan. The completed shot then went into rendering on a "render farm" of 117 [[Sun Microsystems]] computers that ran 24 hours a day.<ref name="PixarTouch19"/> Finished animation emerged in a steady drip of around three minutes a week.<ref name="PixarTouch20">Price, p. 138</ref> Each frame took from 45 minutes up to 30 hours to render, depending on its complexity. In total, the film required 800,000 machine hours and 114,240 frames of animation.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/><ref name="WiredMakingof"/><ref name="CNN110animators"/> There is over 77 minutes of animation spread across 1,561 shots.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> A camera team, aided by David DiFrancesco, recorded the frames onto [[film stock]]. ''Toy Story'' was rendered at a mere 1,536 by 922 pixels, with each pixel corresponding to roughly a quarter inch of screen area on a typical cinema screen.<ref name="PixarTouch19">Price, p. 137</ref> During post-production, the film was sent to [[Skywalker Sound]] where sound effects were mixed with the music score.<ref name="HenneMakingOf"/>

===Music===
Disney was concerned with Lasseter's position on the use of music. Unlike other Disney films of the time, Lasseter did not want the film to be a musical, saying it was a [[buddy film]] featuring "real toys." [[Joss Whedon]] agreed saying, "It would have been a really bad musical, because it's a buddy movie. It's about people who won't admit what they want, much less sing about it. ... Buddy movies are about sublimating, punching an arm, 'I hate you.' It's not about open emotion."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> However, Disney favored the musical format, claiming "Musicals are our orientation. Characters breaking into song is a great shorthand. It takes some of the onus off what they're asking for."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Disney and Pixar reached a compromise: the characters in ''Toy Story'' would not break into song, but the film would use songs over the action, as in ''The Graduate'', to convey and amplify the emotions that Buzz and Woody were feeling.<ref name="PixarTouch11"/> Disney tapped [[Randy Newman]] to compose the film. The edited ''Toy Story'' was due to Randy Newman and Gary Rydstrom in late September 1995 for their final work on the score and sound design, respectively.<ref name="PixarTouch22">Price, p. 149</ref>

Lasseter claimed "His songs are touching, witty, and satirical, and he would deliver the emotional underpinning for every scene."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Newman developed the film's signature song "[[You've Got a Friend in Me]]" in one day<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> although the tune is closely based on his own song, "I Love to See You Smile" from the soundtrack to the 1989 film, ''[[Parenthood (film)|Parenthood]]''.

===Editing and pre-release===
It was difficult for crew members to perceive the film's quality during much of the production process, when the finished footage was in scattered pieces and lacked elements like music and sound design.<ref name="PixarTouch20"/> Some animators felt the film would be a significant disappointment commercially, but felt animators and animation fans would find it interesting.<ref name="PixarTouch20"/> According to [[Lee Unkrich]], one of the original [[film editor|editors]] of ''Toy Story'', a scene was cut out of the original final edit. The scene features Sid, after Pizza Planet, torturing Buzz and Woody violently. Unkrich decided to cut right into the scene where Sid is interrogating the toys because the creators of the movie thought the audience would be loving Buzz and Woody at that point.<ref name = "Deleted Scenes">{{cite DVD-notes|title = Toy Story Deleted Scenes (Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition)|director = John Lasseter|publisher = [[Disney]]|year = 2005}}</ref> Another scene, where Woody was trying to get Buzz's attention when he was stuck in the box crate, was shortened because the creators felt it would lose the energy of the movie.<ref name = "Deleted Scenes"/> Peter Schneider had grown buoyant about the film as it neared completion, and announced a United States release date of November, coinciding with Thanksgiving weekend and the start of the winter holiday season.<ref name="PixarTouch21"/>

Sources indicate that executive producer Steve Jobs lacked confidence in the film during its production, and he had been talking to various companies, ranging from Hallmark to Microsoft, about selling Pixar.<ref name="Isaacson208"/><ref name="PixarTouch21">Price, p. 139-142</ref> However, as the film progressed, Jobs became ever more excited about it, feeling that he might be on the verge of transforming the movie industry.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> As scenes from the movie were finished, he watched them repeatedly and had friends come by his home to share his new passion. Jobs decided that the release of ''Toy Story'' that November would be the occasion to take Pixar public.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> A test audience near Anaheim in late July 1995 indicated the need for last-minute tweaks, which added further pressure to the already frenetic final weeks. Response cards from the audience were encouraging, but were not top of the scale, adding further question as to how audiences would respond.<ref name="PixarTouch22"/> The film ended with a shot of Andy's house and the sound of a new puppy. Michael Eisner, who attended the screening, told Lasseter afterward that the film needed to end with a shot of Woody and Buzz together, reacting to the news of the puppy.<ref name="PixarTouch22"/>

==Release==
There were two premieres of ''Toy Story'' in November 1995. Disney organized one at El Capitan in Los Angeles, and built a fun house next door featuring the characters. Jobs did not attend and instead rented the Regency, a similar theater in San Francisco, and held his own premiere the next night. Instead of Tom Hanks and Steve Martin, the guests were Silicon Valley celebrities, such as Larry Ellison and Andy Grove. The dueling premieres highlighted a festering issue between the companies: whether ''Toy Story'' was a Disney or a Pixar film.<ref name="Isaacson209">{{cite book|last=Isaacson|first=Walter|title=[[Steve Jobs (book)|Steve Jobs]]|accessdate=August 2, 2012|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|location=[[New York City|New York]]|year=2011|page=209|isbn=1-4516-4853-7}}</ref> "The audience appeared to be captivated by the film," wrote David Price in his 2008 book ''The Pixar Touch''. "Adult-voiced sobs could be heard during the quiet moments after Buzz Lightyear fell and lay broken on the stairway landing."<ref name="PixarTouch24">Price, p. 151</ref> ''Toy Story'' opened on 2,281 screens in in the United States on November 22, 1995 (before later expanding to 2,574 screens).<ref name="PixarTouch24"/> It was paired alongside a rerelease of a ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit|Roger Rabbit]]'' short called ''[[List of Who Framed Roger Rabbit media#Animated shorts|Rollercoaster Rabbit]]'', while select prints contained ''[[The Adventures of Andre and Wally B.|The Adventures of André and Wally B.]]''.

The film was also shown at the [[Berlin Film Festival]] out of competition from February 15 to 26, 1996.<ref name="BerlinFFVariety">{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/profiles/Film/main/31584/Toy+Story.html?dataSet=1&query=Toy+Story|title=Toy Story (1995)|work=Variety |accessdate=March 12, 2009}} {{Dead link|date=August 2010|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref> Elsewhere, the film opened in March 1996.<ref name="PixarTouch21"/>

===Marketing===
Marketing for the film included $20&nbsp;million spent by Disney for advertising as well as advertisers such as [[Burger King]], [[Pepsico]], [[Coca-Cola]], and [[Payless ShoeSource]] paying $125&nbsp;million in tied promotions for the film.<ref name="Disney20mil">{{cite news|last=Elliott|first=Stuart|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0DE1DB1339F931A15752C1A963958260|title=The Media Business: Advertising; Coca-Cola, Pepsico and Burger King sign on with Disney for a happy ending with 'Toy Story' tie-ins|work=The New York Times|date=November 22, 1995|accessdate=March 12, 2009}}</ref> A marketing consultant reflected on the promotion: "This will be a killer deal. How can a kid, sitting through a one-and-a-half-hour movie with an army of recognizable toy characters, not want to own one?"<ref name=DailyNewsPromotion>{{cite news|last=Reyes|first=Sonia|title=It's A ''Toy Story'' Told At The Cash Register|url=http://articles.nydailynews.com/1995-11-23/news/17983233_1_toy-characters-buzz-lightyear-movie|accessdate=October 17, 2012|newspaper=New York Daily News|date=November 23, 1995}}</ref> Despite this, the consumer products arm of Disney was slow to see the potential of ''Toy Story'' early on.<ref name="PixarTouch21"/> When the Thanksgiving release date was announced in January 1995, many toy companies were accustomed to having eighteen months to two years of runway time, and passed on the project. In February 1995, Disney took the idea to Toy Fair, a toy industry trade show in New York. There, a Toronto-based company with a factory based in China, Thinkaway Toys, became interested. Although Thinkaway was a small player in the industry, mainly producing toy banks in the form of film characters, it was able to scoop up the worldwide master license for ''Toy Story'' toys simply because no one else wanted it.<ref name="PixarTouch23">Price, p. 143</ref> Buena Vista Home Video put a trailer for the film on seven million copies of the VHS re-release of ''Cinderella''; the Disney Channel ran a television special on the making of ''Toy Story''; Walt Disney World in Orlando held a daily ''Toy Story'' parade at Disney-MGM Studios.<ref name="PixarTouch22"/>

It was screenwriter Joss Whedon's idea to incorporate [[Barbie]] as a character who would rescue Woody and Buzz in the film's final act.<ref name="LostJoss">{{cite web|url=http://www.suvudu.com/2008/07/the-lost-joss-whedonpixar-conn.html|title=The Lost Joss Whedon/Pixar Connection|author=tnarwani|date=July 21, 2008|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref> The idea was dropped after Mattel objected and refused to license the toy. Producer [[Ralph Guggenheim]] claimed that Mattel did not allow the use of the toy as "They [Mattel] philosophically felt girls who play with Barbie dolls are projecting their personalities onto the doll. If you give the doll a voice and animate it, you're creating a persona for it that might not be every little girl's dream and desire."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Hasbro likewise refused to license G.I. Joe (mainly because Sid was going to blow one up), but they did license [[Mr. Potato Head]].<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> The only toy in the movie that was not currently in production was [[Slinky]] Dog, which was discontinued since the 1970s. When designs for Slinky were sent to [[Betty James]] ([[Richard T. James|Richard James]]'s wife) she said that Pixar had improved the toy and that it was "cuter" than the original.<ref name="NYTimes1">{{cite news |last=Witchel |first=Alex |date=February 21, 1996 |title=Talking Toys with Betty James; Persevering for Family and Slinky |work=The New York Times |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C00E1D61339F932A15751C0A960958260 |accessdate=February 26, 2009}}</ref>

<blockquote>
"The ''Toy Story'' films and characters will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we're so excited to be bringing this landmark film back for audiences to enjoy in a whole new way thanks to the latest in 3-D technology. With ''Toy Story 3'' shaping up to be another great adventure for Buzz, Woody and the gang from Andy's room, we thought it would be great to let audiences experience the first two films all over again and in a brand new way."<ref name="VFXWorldLass3-D">{{cite news|url=http://vfxworld.com/?atype=news&a=search&term=Toy%20Story&id=22054|title=Toy Story Franchise Going 3-D|publisher=VFXWorld.com|date=January 24, 2008|accessdate=March 12, 2009}}</ref>
</blockquote>

Translating the film into 3-D involved revisiting the original computer data and virtually placing a second camera into each scene, creating left-eye and right-eye views needed to achieve the perception of depth.<ref name="Dimension">{{cite news|first=Mekado|last=Murphy|title=Buzz and Woody Add a Dimension|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/movies/04murp.html|date=October&nbsp;1, 2009|work=The New York Times|accessdate=February&nbsp;18, 2010}}</ref> Unique to computer animation, Lasseter referred to this process as "digital archaeology."<ref name="Dimension"/> The process took four months, as well as an additional six months for the two films to add the 3-D. The lead stereographer Bob Whitehill oversaw this process and sought to achieve an effect that affected the emotional storytelling of the film:

<blockquote>
"When I would look at the films as a whole, I would search for story reasons to use 3-D in different ways. In '''Toy Story'', for instance, when the toys were alone in their world, I wanted it to feel consistent to a safer world. And when they went out to the human world, that's when I really blew out the 3-D to make it feel dangerous and deep and overwhelming."<ref name="Dimension"/>
</blockquote>

Unlike other countries, the United Kingdom received the films in 3-D as separate releases. ''Toy Story'' was released on October 2, 2009. ''[[Toy Story 2]]'' was instead released January 22, 2010.<ref name="Toy Story 3D Review">{{cite web|url=http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/movies/reviews/article.aspx?cp-documentid=149974281 |title=Toy Story in 3D: MSN Review|accessdate=October 3, 2009|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20091002133147/http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/movies/reviews/article.aspx?cp-documentid=149974281 <!--Added by H3llBot-->|archivedate=October 2, 2009}}</ref> The re-release performed well at the box office, opening with $12,500,000 in its opening weekend, placing at the third position after ''[[Zombieland]]'' and ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (film)|Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]''.<ref name="ReBOXMOJO">{{cite web|url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=toystory3d.htm|title=Toy Story/Toy Story 2 (3D)|work=[[Box Office Mojo]]|accessdate=February&nbsp;18, 2010}}</ref> The double feature grossed $30,714,027 in its five-week release.<ref name="ReBOXMOJO"/>

Ever since its original 1995 release, ''Toy Story'' has received universal acclaim from critics; Review aggregate [[Rotten Tomatoes]] (which gave the movie an "Extremely Fresh" rating) reports that 100% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 74 reviews, with an average score of 9/10. The critical consensus is: ''As entertaining as it is innovative, Toy Story kicked off Pixar's unprecedented run of quality pictures, reinvigorating animated film in the process.'' The film is ''Certified Fresh''.<ref name="RotTom"/> At the website [[Metacritic]], which utilizes a [[standard score|normalized]] rating system, the film earned a "universal acclaim" level rating of 92/100 based on 16&nbsp;reviews by mainstream critics.<ref name="metacritic"/> Reviewers hailed the film for its computer animation, voice cast, and ability to appeal to numerous age groups.

It's got a shot that's always stuck with me, when Buzz Lightyear discovers he's a toy. He's sitting on this landing at the top of the staircase and the camera pulls back and he's this tiny little figure. He was this guy with a massive ego two seconds before... and it's stunning. I'd put that as one of my top ten films, period."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.timeout.com/film/features/show-feature/8840/ | title=Time Out's 50 Greatest Animated Films: Part 5 | accessdate=April 8, 2011 | work=Time Out London}}</ref>

'''''The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars''''' is the name of both a children's book by [[Thomas Disch]], as well as the film made from same. Both are sequels to the book and film versions of ''[[The Brave Little Toaster (film)|The Brave Little Toaster]]''. The film was distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]] and released in 1998.

The plot takes place after ''[[The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue]]'', as the group already knows Ratso the rat, and Wittgenstein the supercomputer, having met him in ''To the Rescue''. They also refer to him as "our old college buddy"; Rob is in college in the other film. Both films were produced at the same time and this one was released first.

==Plot==
Rob and Chris have a baby boy named Robbie. At first the appliances all think that they will pay more attention to him but later get used to him ("''I See a New You''"). Later, the Hearing Aid, who was left in a drawer in their new house from the [[Albert Einstein|past owner]] gets out of the drawer and passes everyone who is asleep. Toaster then sees him and follows him up to the attic. Toaster gets very suspicious about him when he was talking to someone in space.

The next morning, Toaster tells what happened last night then they all agree to stay on watch of the drawer till he comes out. Later, when it is midnight, everyone falls asleep just when Hearing Aid escapes from the drawer. The "little master", as they call baby Robbie, awakes to the sound and gets out of his crib and follows Hearing Aid. The appliances awake and find Robbie going up the stairs. Lampy tries to get him down, but is dragged up the stairs and his plug slips out and falls down the stairs. The appliances appear in the room when a big beam of light appears. The appliances chase after Hearing Aid, but then Robbie disappears in a bubble through space. And after that, they all find out that he was sent to [[Mars]].

They get Wittgenstein, the old [[supercomputer]], to help them and gives them advice. They get the microwave and cheddar cheese popcorn to help them fly, as it is organic, a laundry basket, and the ceiling fan. They set off in space to go to Mars and find Robbie. During their flight, a pack of balloons appear who fly endlessly in space from hands who let them go ("''Floating''"). The appliances crash on Mars and find the baby. They meet a [[Christmas angel]] named Tinselina who was sent to mars with [[Viking 1]]. The appliances follow a group of military toasters who had just arrived to their leader Supreme Commander who is a huge refrigerator. They then learn that they are going to blow Earth up because their old owners threw them out, and Toaster tries to talk them out of it. In between the fight, Robbie is able to push a hand out of his bubble. His hand touches Supreme Commander, and the refrigerator suddenly begins to turn pink. He smiles at the child, before returning his original color.

Toaster ends up between an election with Supreme Commander ("''Humans''"). After a while, Toaster wins the election and is the new Supreme Commander. The appliances go into the freezer of Supreme Commander and find the brother of Hearing Aid, who he hasn't seen in sixty years. When asked by Toaster why Surpreme Commander changed his mind about blowing up Earth, he says "the touch of the small boy's hand" reminded him that not all humans are bad. They are all about to return to earth when suddenly Hearing Aid's brother forgets to deactivate the rocket. The missile counts down. Toaster jumps off with Hearing Aid's brother and destroys the rocket. Toaster is almost left on Mars, but the others come back for him. After Toaster is on board, Tinselina gives up her clothes so they can have something organic to get back to earth.

The appliances happily ride back to Earth ("''Home Again''"). The appliances return to Earth just in time as the [[baby monitor]] that Ratso, their pet rat, had been restraining all night, finally wakes Rob and Christine up. One day when they are taping Robbie, Rob finds Tinselina in a garbage can and fixes her up. It is a happy ending with Robbie's first word is "Toaster!" and Tinselina's first time on a Christmas tree. It is a happy ending with the appliances having a merry Christmas with the little master.

'''''The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue''''' is the first [[direct-to-video]] sequel to ''[[The Brave Little Toaster (film)|The Brave Little Toaster]]''. Though it was released after ''[[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'', it is actually the second film in chronological order. A production of [[Hyperion Pictures|Hyperion]]/[[The Kushner-Locke Company|Kushner-Locke]], it was originally released in 1999 in [[North America]] by [[Walt Disney Home Video]]. It was also released the same year in 1999 in the [[United Kingdom]] and premiered on TV on [[BBC Two]] but there was no DVD release.

==Cast==
* [[Deanna Oliver]] as Toaster
* [[Timothy Stack]] as Lampy
* [[Roger Kabler]] as Radio
* [[Eric Lloyd]] as Blanky
* [[Thurl Ravenscroft]] as Kirby
* [[Brian Doyle-Murray]] as Wittgenstein
* [[Chris Young (actor)|Chris Young]] as Rob
* [[Jessica Tuck]] as Chris
* [[Alfre Woodard]] as Maisie
* Andy Midler as Ratso
* [[Jonathan Benair]] as Jim Bob
* [[Eddie Bracken]] as Sebastian
* [[Andrew Daly]] as Murgatroid
* [[Eddie Deezen]] as Charlie
* Patti Edwards as Lab Computer
* [[Victoria Jackson]] as Mouse
* Marc Allen Lewis as Security Guard
* Ross Mapletoft as Modem
* [[Kevin Meaney]] as Computer
* [[Jay Mohr]] as Mack
* [[Danny Nucci]] as Alberto

==Plot==
Rob, the owner of the appliances and whom they refer to as "the master", is working in a veterinary clinic where he tends to injured animals. One night, while working on a [[thesis]], his computer crashes thanks to a terrible [[computer virus]] from Wittgenstein, an old TLW-728 [[supercomputer]]. The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending, to a place called "Tartaras Laboratories", the same place that Sebastian, an old monkey Rob is tending to, was sent to when he was just a [[baby]]. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement. The miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, named the "WFC 11-12-55". The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death.

In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to the college's storage building to find the hard-to-find WFC 11-12-55 tube. When they come back with the last apparent tube for miles, however, Radio and Ratso (after an argument with the tube) accidentally breaks it, and it seems that all hope is lost. Wittgenstein does his best with all his might, but he blows his remaining tube with a big explosion and apparently "[[death|is a goner]]". Ratso then blames Radio, which causes Radio himself to give up his own tube which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving himself as a lifeless appliance. Apparently, knowing that they were given a final chance to save the animals, the appliances replaced the tube in the nick of time; with the boosted power of the new tube, Wittgenstein wakes up, miraculously regenerates the other smashed tubes connected to himself and is completely revived to as good as new. By the end of the film, the appliances restore Rob's thesis and stop Mack from selling the injured animals, Radio's tube is replaced with a new one (hence his revival), Rob proposes to his girlfriend Chris, and all is well.

==Notes==
Although this is third and final movie released, it appears to be the second in plot sequence. This is indicated in '' [[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'' by the fact that the group is already familiar with Wittgenstein the supercomputer, and by the fact that he is referred to as "our old college buddy." Also, Rob proposes to his girlfriend in this movie, while in the second movie the two are married with a baby. This is because both the films were in production at the time, and ''Goes To Mars'' just happened to be finished first.

==Reception==
The movie got mixed reviews but most fans say it's more enjoyable than ''The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars''.

==Animal Characters==
*Sebastian - [[Monkey]]
*Maisie - [[Cat]]
*Ratso - [[Rat]]
*Murgatroid - [[Snake]]
*Alberto - [[Chihuahua (dog)|Chihuahua]]

A. Milne]]'s book ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]].'' Like other [[Pooh]] characters, Tigger is based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals. Nowadays he is most widely recognized as reinterpreted by the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] studios, with distinctive orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, springy tail, and (the one detail originating from A. A. Milne) his love of bouncing. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best." ==In literature== [[File:The original Winnie the Pooh toys.jpg|thumb|right|The real stuffed toys owned by Christopher Robin and featured in the ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' stories. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear (aka Winnie-the-Pooh), Eeyore, and Piglet. They are on display in the [[Donnell Library Center]] in [[New York City]].]] Tigger is introduced in Chapter II of ''House at Pooh Corner'', when he shows up on [[Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie-the-Pooh's]] doorstep in the middle of the night, announcing himself with a big bounce. Most of the rest of that chapter is taken up with the characters' search for a food that Tigger can eat for breakfast - despite Tigger's claims to like "everything", it is quickly proven he does not like [[honey]], [[acorns]], [[thistles]], or most of the contents of [[Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga's]] larder. In a happy coincidence, however, he discovers what Tiggers ''really'' like best is [[extract of malt]], which Kanga has on hand because she gives it to her baby, [[Roo]], as "strengthening medicine". From that point on, Tigger lives with Kanga and Roo in their house in the northeastern part of the [[Hundred Acre Wood]] near the Sandy Pit. He becomes great friends with Roo (to whom he becomes a sort of older sibling figure), and Kanga treats him in much the same way she does her own son. Tigger also interacts enthusiastically with all the other characters — sometimes too enthusiastically for the likes of [[Rabbit (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Rabbit]], who is sometimes exasperated by Tigger's constant bouncing, [[Eeyore]], who is once bounced into the river by Tigger, and [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet]], who always seems a little nervous about the new, large, bouncy animal in the Forest. Nonetheless, the animals are all shown to be friends. In addition to chapter II, Tigger also appears in chapters IV, VI, VII, and X of ''The House at Pooh Corner'', and is mentioned in several others. He is the only new major character to be introduced in ''The House at Pooh Corner''; all of the others had been established in the earlier [[Winnie-the-Pooh (book)|Winnie-the-Pooh book]]. ===Depictions=== In [[Ernest H. Shepard]]'s illustrations, Tigger appears to walk (or more often, bounce) on four feet as opposed to two. He is, however, capable of holding a pen with one of his front paws. Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as "large", he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations. Pooh states once "He always seems bigger because of his bounces", implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is. ===Personality traits=== That assessment fits well with Tigger's personality and his assessment of his own abilities, which he always overestimates. He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and has complete confidence in himself. Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do include flying, jumping farther than a [[kangaroo]], swimming, and climbing trees. He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree. He only succeeds half-way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again. Tigger also says Tiggers "never get lost"; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true - he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him. Like most of the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger was based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals, in this case a stuffed-toy tiger. However, the word "tiger" is never actually used in the book. The term "Tigger" is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal. No other "Tiggers" appear in the story, and at one point Tigger (who has just seen his reflection in a [[mirror]] and mistaken it for another individual) comments he thought he was the only one. Despite that belief, he constantly uses the term in the plural, as in "Tiggers don't like honey." and "So ''that's'' what Tiggers like!", etc. The term is always capitalized. ==In film== [[File:The Tigger Movie film.jpg|frame|200px|right|''[[The Tigger Movie]]'', a film based on the Disney adaptation of Tigger.]] Tigger also appears in the Disney cartoon versions of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, beginning with ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'' in 1968. He has even starred in his own film, ''[[The Tigger Movie]]'' ([[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], 2000), along with his friends from the [[Hundred Acre Wood]]. Tigger was originally voiced by [[Paul Winchell]]. Since 1990, he has been voiced by [[Jim Cummings]] (who is also the voice of Pooh), with the exception of ''[[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]]'' (1997), ''[[A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving]]'' (1998), and ''[[Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine For You]]'' (1999), in which Winchell reprised the role of Tigger. On some albums and read-along cassettes in the early 1990s, [[Ed Gilbert]] voiced Tigger. Also, [[Will Ryan]] voiced Tigger in the [[Disney Channel]] program ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]''. In the movies, Tigger sings his own theme song, "[[The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers]]", written by the [[Sherman Brothers]]. According to the song, Tigger is "the only one" &mdash; a fact that leads to his search for his family in ''[[The Tigger Movie]]''. In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' and subsequent cartoons, Tigger lives in a large treehouse. A tire swing hangs prominently from a branch of the tree. In [[The Tigger Movie]], Tigger builds a makeshift addition (gluing the shingles on with honey) in anticipation of a hoped-for visit by members of his family. This "family room" is eventually relocated to serve as a replacement for Eeyore's collapse-prone house of sticks. The Disney version of Tigger was featured in both the TV special ''[[Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue]]'' and the TV series ''[[House of Mouse]]''. ===Personality traits=== Tigger's personality in the cartoons is much like his personality in the book. He is very confident and has quite an ego, he often thinks of himself as being handsome, and some of his other comments suggest he has a high opinion of himself. Tigger is always filled with great energy and optimism, and though always well-meaning, he can also be mischievous, and his actions have sometimes led to chaos and trouble for himself and his friends. Also, he often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realize they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. As in the books, Tigger never refers to himself as a tiger, but as a "Tigger". When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name is: "T-I-'Double-/G/'-Er (T-i-gg-er), which spells 'Tigger'".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4624547.stm |title=Disney's Tigger voice dies at 82 |accessdate=2008-10-06 |last= |first= |coauthors= |work= |publisher=BBC News | date=2005-06-26 | location=London}}</ref> Another of Tigger's notable personality traits is his habit of mispronouncing various words, or stressing wrong syllables in them (which is what Tiggers do best, which is why he's only one remaining). Examples of this include him pronouncing "villain" as "villian"; "ridiculous" as "ridickerous"; "recognize" as "recoganize"; and "suspicious" as "suspicerous". A declaration often made, is that ''"Tiggers are wonderful things. Their heads are made of rubber, their tails are made of springs."'' In cartoon, he is often depicted bouncing around in ways which would make such a statement appear to be valid. In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', Tigger is often well-meaning but usually does more harm than good. In one episode, he invented a [[bulldozer]]-like contraption intended to provide convenience for Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit, but the invention proved to have disastrous results, and Rabbit insisted that Tigger shut it down; however, in the winter, a depressed Tigger accidentally started the machine up, and it proved to be useful by [[snowplow|plowing snow]] around Piglet's house before malfunctioning. On another occasion, Tigger attempted to mimic a superhero, "The Masked Offender," bringing mayhem to the Hundred-Acre Wood. In response, Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl (unaware that the Masked Offender was actually Tigger) staged a [[hoax]] in which they made an [[inanimate]] monster from a sticky glue-like material. The plan worked, revealing Tigger as the Masked Offender, but the fake monster (which was on wheels) turned on its makers, ultimately resulting in Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl hanging by the glue from a rickety bridge. Subsequently, Tigger resumed his role as the Masked Offender, and saved his friends. It is also shown that Tigger will jump in to help without thinking about the danger to himself. On at least three occasions, he has nearly fallen off a cliff, and ''has'' fallen two of those times, to retrieve something important (Half of the map in [[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]], his locket in [[The Tigger Movie]], and a page of [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet's]] scrapbook in [[Piglet's Big Movie]]). Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October 1928, the year ''The House at Pooh Corner'' was first published. However, on Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birthyear as 1968, a reference to the first year Tigger appeared in a Disney production, ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]''. Disney's Tigger is also remembered for his song ''The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers'' when he made his first appearance. However, he was not included in the Winnie the Pooh theme song until [[Winnie the Pooh (film)|the 2011 film]]. ==In popular culture== * Tigger has appeared in the ''[[Mad (TV series)|Mad]]'' episode "Pooh Grit" (a parody of ''[[True Grit (2010 film)|True Grit]]''), where Christopher Robin hires Marshall Pooh to capture Tigger after he bounced his father. He was voiced by [[Fred Tatasciore]]. Then in the next episode "Fast Hive" (a parody of ''[[Fast Five]]''), Tigger was part of Pooh's team to get honey. He and Piglet fly out of the book and end up in ''[[The Very Hungry Caterpillar]]'', where the caterpillar gives them some honey. In this episode, he was voiced by [[Kevin Shinick]]. * In [[Randy Pausch]]'s [[Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams|The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams]], he asks whether one should live their life as a Tigger or as an Eeyore. Pausch indicated that he was a "Tigger".<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/Randy/pauschlastlecturetranscript.pdf |title=The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams |author=Randy Pausch |publisher=Carnegie Mellon University |format = [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] |page=19 |date=2007-09-18 |accessdate=2009-02-24 }} "So my next piece of advice is, you just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I’m clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate." </ref> * One skit during the ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' Season 28 episode where the late [[Bernie Mac]] hosted involves a game show called "BrainBusters", which is a parody of ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' and other game shows. The last question that the contestant Steve Thinson (played by [[Jimmy Fallon]]) was asked was "This was Winnie the Pooh's feline friend." Steve buzzes in and says, "The answer is..." but before he can finish, a Technical Difficulties sign replaces the screen. Upon the return, we see that the host Lawrence (played by Bernie Mac) has Steve by the throat, while Steve is saying "I meant to say Tigger, with a T!"

In Canada, the series aired uninterruptedly on [[Family (TV channel)|Family]] and (beginning on 2007) [[Family (TV channel)#Disney Junior|Disney Junior]] (formerly called [[Playhouse Disney]]) until December 2012. The show has also aired in several countries around the world. The animated series is based on a series of four environment-themed children's books titled ''Katie and Orbie Save the Planet'', illustrated by Canadian cartoonist [[Ben Wicks]] and written by his daughter Susan Wicks, which were published in 1991.<ref>http://umanitoba.ca/cm///cmarchive/vol19no4/kidsandnature.html</ref> In 1993, [[Lacewood Productions]] adapted the characters into an animated series which was originally in production until 1996, being revived five years later by [[Amberwood Entertainment]] and then cancelled in 2002. Contrary to the original books, the series isn't strictly environment-themed, having stories that range from having a new pet or helping their friends, to address themes like children with divorced parents, Down's Syndrome and cerebral palsy. However, some stories are still focused on protection of the environment. The TV show was narrated by actor [[Leslie Nielsen]]. The theme song was written by [[Edmund Eagan]] and performed by his daughter, [[Mireille Eagan]]. [[Michael Nyman]] has also provided music for the series. During the first three seasons, most stories were written by the characters' co-creator Susan Wicks, with [[Mary Mackay-Smith]] serving as a secondary writer. For seasons 4–6, all stories were written by Mackay-Smith. Unlike most TV shows, the animation on ''Katie and Orbie'' is similar to a slideshow, instead of coming to life, also, none of the characters actually speak, so a variety of [[sound effects]] are used during the stories. ''[[Pumper Pups]]'', a TV series produced by Amberwood Entertainment in 2000, also used this style of animation, and it was also narrated by Leslie Nielsen. International rights for the series were first owned by [[Entertainment Rights]] (which was also a producer company on seasons 4–6), which on 2009 was merged into [[Classic Media]]. On March 25, 2010, Canadian company [[E1 Entertainment]] signed a deal with Amberwood Entertainment on which E1 obtained the worldwide distribution rights to several of Amberwood Entertainment's TV shows, including all 78 episodes of ''Katie and Orbie''.<ref>http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/March2010/25/c5060.html</ref> ==Main characters== * '''Katie''' - A five-year-old girl who is, essentially, the main character of the show. She has blonde hair, and almost always wears a green and white striped t-shirt with blue [[overalls]]. Katie is imaginative, playful, curious and usually quite happy. She lives with her best friend Orbie and her parents in a suburb of an unnamed city. Her sound effects include a characteristic laugh, as well as occasional sighing, yelling and crying sounds. Those sound effects, as well as her "voice" during the Did You Know? segments, are made by Amanda Tripp. * '''Orbie''' - A small and pink [[Extraterrestrial life|alien]], he has red polka dots on his body (early episodes show him having the capacity to change the color of his dots, depending on how he feels), who is from an unknown planet which is "far away out past the moon". The book ''Katie and Orbie Pick Up the Garbage'', one of the books on which the series is based, implies that he was sent away from his home planet because it was too polluted to sustain life, and the destiny of his native family or his species is unknown. While travelling in a small spaceship, he reached Earth and just happened to land in Katie's backyard, and immediately he and Katie became best friends, resulting in him being "adopted" by Katie's parents. He's apparently the same age as Katie. He speaks in a unique series of squeaks and chirps (often referred to as 'honks') that people appear to be able to understand despite that fact that he isn't speaking any known language. With the exception of ''I Don't Want to be Different'' (the last story of the first episode), people are shown to be oblivious to the fact that he's an alien, and treat him like a normal person (In that story a group of kids at a restaurant look surprised at Orbie, making him feel embarrassed). He doesn't wear clothes or appear to require them; however, he does wear clothing and boots if it's raining, cold or snowing. He is a natural acrobat, often breaking into leaps and flips out of sheer joy and has pads on his fingers and toes which enable him to climb walls and hang from the ceiling. He can also use these pads to help him climb other things, but they work best on flat surfaces. He sleeps in Katie's closet, hanging upside down from the bar like a [[bat]]. His sound effects are made by Chris Wightman. * '''Wayne''' - Katie's father as well as Orbie's adoptive father. He is always referred to as "Dad", but his real name is mentioned in the episode ''The Thunderstorm''. He works at an office building, but his actual job is unclear. He is very thoughtful towards Katie, Orbie, and his wife, Susan. * '''Susan''' - Katie's mother and Orbie's adoptive mother. She is always referred to as "Mom", but her real name is mentioned in the episode ''Mrs. Parette's Picture''. The family's surname was never given. Also, both Wayne's parents (Katie's paternal grandparents) and Susan's parents (maternal grandparents) have appeared on the show. Wayne's parents live in an apartment building in the city, while Susan's parents live in an old house in the same suburb where the characters live. ==Friends and other characters== * '''Mrs. Elaine Parette''' - A friend of the family, she is an old woman who likes children and is usually seen baking cakes or cookies for them. She has a big willow in her garden which serves as a hideout for Katie, Orbie and their friends. She has at least one daughter, as well as at least two grandchildren. She is always referred simply as ''Mrs. Parette'', being one of the few characters that has a surname. Her name, Elaine, was mentioned by Katie's mother in the story ''Mrs. Parette's Picture'', which was her first appearance. * '''Chance''' - The family's [[cat]]. She has orange fur, except for her left ear which has white fur. :First appearance: ''The Day Chance Found a New Home'', but first seen as a background on ''Katie's First Sleepover'' * '''Andy''' - A boy who resembles Katie, although his hair is paler. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother and his stepfather named Harry. He is one of the three "regular" friends of the main characters, the other two being Arthur and Yee Ping. :First appearance: ''Andy's Birthday Present'' * '''Arthur''' - A boy who was at first a bully, who gets angry easily and can even hit someone who is bothering him (Katie on only one occasion). Later, his appearance was changed and he was depicted as a simple boy, although a bit mischievous, who plays normally with the other kids. :First appearance: ''The Day Arthur Smacked Katie'' * '''Yee Ping''' - A girl of Chinese origin, who is very friendly and has even taught Katie and Orbie some Chinese traditions. After Orbie, she was Katie's second friend introduced on the series. When she was introduced, her skin was light brown, however during the course of the series her skin becomes white. :First appearance: ''Yee Ping'' * '''Kyra''' - A young girl, with the same hair color as Andy, usually wearing a diadem over it. She has [[asthma]] and, on a later appearance, also wears [[glasses]]. Her parents are never seen, only her grandmother has appeared. She mostly appears during seasons 2 and 3. Along with Dakota, she is rarely seen during the Amberwood Entertainment seasons. :First appearance: ''Everybody Counts'', but formally introduced on ''Kyra'', a later episode. * '''Phoebe and Bryn''' - Sisters who are always seen together. Phoebe is the youngest and Bryn is the oldest. Phoebe has blonde hair, and Bryn has brown hair. Bryn has an [[egg allergy]]. :First appearance: ''Does It Have Eggs In It?'' * '''Dakota''' - a Native American boy. Although a common character on the Lakewood seasons, he is practically written out on the Amberwood Entertainment seasons, only appearing a few times, and is "replaced" by the Latin character Miguel. :First appearance: ''The Pow-Wow'' * '''Micah''' - A nine-year-old boy who has [[Down Syndrome]]. He lives on a [[farm]] with his mother named Ara. On his mother's farm they have several animals, including a mare named Spirit, and her newborn colt, Sprite. :First appearance: ''Andy's Birthday Present'', but formally introduced on ''Drumsticks'', a later episode. * '''Tom''' - A young adult who usually serves as Katie and Orbie's [[babysitter]]. :First appearance: ''The Baby Sitter'' * '''Polly''' - Tom's girlfriend. Like Tom, she likes children very much and loves to play with them. Orbie once had a crush on her. Her appearances are scarce. Her appearance changed between episodes, first she had red, curly hair and white skin, and later she had straight, black hair with a ponytail, and black skin. :First appearance: ''Puppy Love'' * '''Belkis''' - A girl that does not speak English. It is unknown from what country she came from, although the name Belkis is of Hebrew origin. :First appearance: ''Belkis'' * '''Charisse''' - A black girl who has [[cerebral palsy]] and uses a [[wheelchair]], she lives with her mother in an apartment. Her appearances are scarce. :First appearance: ''Charisse'' * '''Miguel''' - A Latin boy who joins the series by the end of the 4th season as sort of a replacement for Dakota, although his appearances are scarce. :First appearance: ''Tom's Pool Party'' * '''Charlie and Megan Cobbington''' - Siblings who are neighbours to Katie and Orbie, along with their parents. Charlie and the parents are written out of the show after season 2, but Megan still makes brief appearances on season 3 before being written out too. :First appearance: ''The Story Dress'' * '''Greg, Jenny and baby Megan''' - A young couple and their baby girl who are neighbours of Katie and Orbie's family. They appear only in a few stories. They also have a dog named Bruce. :First appearance: ''The New Baby'' * '''Kerry''' - A Caribbean girl who had been Katie's best friend for an unspecified time, and in her only appearance (episode ''Close to My Heart'') she and her parents moved to another town because her father had got a new job. Ironically, despite being referred to as Katie's best friend, she never appeared before and is never seen or mentioned after the aforementioned story. Mrs. Parette gave her and Katie two heart-shaped collars with photos of both, so they could remember their friendship. A handful of other minor characters have appeared during the series. ==Episodes== ''Main article'': [[List of Katie and Orbie episodes]] The TV series started production in 1993 by [[Lacewood Productions]], which created thirteen half-hour episodes each consisting of three unrelated stories of seven minutes each, and two interstitial segments titled ''Did You Know?'' of thirty seconds each. The series debuted in 1994 on Family Channel and quickly became a success, prompting Lacewood to create two further seasons of the show in 1995 and 1996. Beginning with the third season in 1996, the series began to use [[digital ink and paint]] for coloring. In 1997, after producing 39 episodes for the show, Lacewood Productions closed down and production of the series was suspended. In 2000, Lacewood was reformed under the name [[Amberwood Entertainment]], which alongside [[Entertainment Rights]] began production of 26 more episodes for the show, which debuted on the Family Channel the next year. However, the revival of the series was short-lived, as in 2002 after the sixth season the series was cancelled. A total of 234 individual stories were produced, three per each half-hour episode. Each episode also had two instertitial segments titled ''Did You Know?'' which tells viewers small pieces of information regarding several subjects, such as plants, flowers, animals, the body and arts. These segments are narrated off-screen by Katie (voiced by Amanda Tripp). Each episode is structured by the opening theme, the first story, a ''Did You Know?'' interstitial segment, the second story, another ''Did You Know?'' interstitial segment, the third story and the closing credits. ==Airing== * {{CAN}}: [[Family (TV channel)|Family]] from its premiere in 1994 to December 2012. * [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] aired the show from 2006 to 2008. * [[Playhouse Disney]] (2007–May 6, 2011). * [[Disney Junior (Canadian English TV channel)|Disney Junior]] (May 6, 2011–December 31, 2012). From 2007 until 2012, both Family and Disney Junior only showed the series during overnight hours, when many children are asleep. Presumably, the show was still aired on those channels, in order to fulfill the [[Canadian content]] rules. * {{USA}}: [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] (1996–1997); [[Playhouse Disney]] (1997–2000). The airing rights for the show were acquired by PBS during 1995, and it premiered in PBS stations on January 28, 1996,<ref>http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67757715.html</ref> becoming the second animated show to air on PBS (''[[The Magic School Bus (TV series)|The Magic School Bus]]'' was the first), however it was dropped off PBS in early 1997, at the time it was picked up by [[Disney Channel]] to be aired on its new [[Playhouse Disney]] block until September 2000. It has not been seen on any US channel since then, however it could be seen on CBeebies, as the channel is available inside the USA on the Spanish Mexico package of [[Dish Network]], channel 848. Seasons 4-6 remain unseen in the US. * [[Latin America]]: [[CBeebies]] (2008–2010) This Spanish version, dubbed in Mexico, is narrated by Mexican voice actor [[Alejandro Villeli]], with voice actress [[Leyla Rangel]] singing the theme song and narrating the ''Did You Know?'' segments. The channel aired the episodes in order, Monday to Friday; on weekends, repeats of the episodes aired on Monday and Tuesday were shown. From June 2009 until its removal, the channel reran the episodes shown on Friday the following Monday. The full run of 78 episodes was shown four times (with the first 67 episodes airing a fifth time before its removal). The channel aired the show only in the evenings at 8:30 pm and later 9:30 pm (although from August–December 2008, it also aired on weekend afternoons). The show was suddenly removed from CBeebies on April 12, 2010 and replaced by [[Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies]]. It has not been shown in the region since then. Is also the only version to have all 78 episodes dubbed. * {{flagicon|Malaysia}} [[Malaysia]]: [[Astro Ria]] (early 2000s).

The film was directed by [[Jerry Rees]]. The film is set in a world where [[Home appliance|household appliances]] and other electronics have the [[Anthropomorphism|ability to speak and move]], pretending to be lifeless in the presence of humans. The story focuses on five appliances&mdash; a [[toaster]], a desk [[lamp (fixture)|lamp]], an [[electric blanket]], a vacuum tube [[radio]], and a [[vacuum cleaner]]&mdash;who go on a quest to search for their original owner. The film was produced by [[Hyperion Pictures]] along with [[The Kushner-Locke Company]]. Many of the original members of [[Pixar|Pixar Animation Studios]] were involved with this film, including [[John Lasseter]] and [[Joe Ranft]]. While the film received a [[Limited release|limited theatrical release]], ''The Brave Little Toaster'' was popular on home video and was followed by two sequels a decade later. (''[[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'' and ''[[The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue]]'') ==Plot== Five appliances—a [[radio]], ''Radio'' ([[Jon Lovitz]]); a [[Gooseneck lamp|lamp]], ''Lampy'' ([[Timothy Stack|Tim Stack]]); an [[electric blanket]], ''Blanky'' ([[Timothy E. Day]]); a [[vacuum cleaner]], ''Kirby'' ([[Thurl Ravenscroft]]); and a [[toaster]], ''Toaster'' ([[Deanna Oliver]])—live in an vacant cabin located in the countryside. Each day they await their "Master", a child whom they have not seen for many years, with a growing sense of abandonment. When a car stops at the cabin and turns out to be a [[real estate broker]] placing a "for sale" sign, the appliances spiral into despair. Unable to accept that the Master would abandon them, Toaster decides that the group should head out and find the Master. The appliances rig up a [[car battery]] to an [[office chair]] pulled by Kirby and set out into the world, following the Radio's signal broadcasted from the city, where the Master lives. From the cabin to the big city, the appliances have many harrowing adventures where they slowly learn to work together. Shortly after stopping to rest within a forest, a violent storm during nightfall wakes Toaster and the others and blows Blanky up into the trees, and Lampy risks his life by using himself as a [[lightning rod]] to recharge the group's dead battery. After recovering Blanky, the group tries to cross a waterfall, only to have everyone fall in except for Kirby. Kirby dives after them and rescues them, and the appliances wash up into the middle of a swamp. After losing both the chair and the battery, the group resorts to pulling a disabled Kirby through the swamp. After almost drowning in [[quicksand]], they are rescued by Elmo St. Peters, the owner of an appliance parts store. At the store they meet a group of partially dismantled or broken appliances, who have given up on hope and await being disassembled and sold. After Radio is taken from the shelf and is about to have his [[radio tube]]s extracted, the appliances trick St. Peters and flee to the city. The Master, whose name is revealed to be Rob (Wayne Kaatz), lives in an apartment as a young adult and is about to depart for [[college]]. Rob leaves with his girlfriend Chris (Colette Savage) to head back to the cabin to pick up the appliances to take with him. The modern electronics in the apartment become disappointed and jealous. When the appliances arrive at Rob's apartment, the modern appliances convince them that they are outdated and unusable, tossing them into the garbage, where they are shortly transported to Ernie's Disposal, a [[Wrecking yard|junkyard]]. Rob and Chris return home after thinking his original appliances have been stolen. Rob's [[black and white television]] ([[Jonathan Benair]]), who originally lived with the appliances, broadcasts fake advertisements and convinces Rob and Chris to look at Ernie's Disposal for replacements. At the junkyard, the appliances lose hope and put themselves at the mercy of a giant [[Electromagnet|magnetic crane]] that picks up junk and places it on a conveyor belt that leads into a [[car crusher]]. When they discover that Rob is in the junkyard, they are encouraged and attempt to foil the magnetic crane in order to allow Rob to find them. After being thwarted several times, the magnetic crane picks up Rob himself as well as the appliances, except for Toaster, and drops them on the compactor's conveyor belt. Toaster sacrifices himself by leaping into the compactor's drive gears to stop the machine from destroying the appliances and killing Rob. Rob returns to the apartment with all of the appliances in tow, including a now mangled Toaster. Rob repairs the Toaster and takes all of them to college with him. ==Cast== * [[Deanna Oliver]] as Toaster, a gallant [[Sunbeam_Products|Sunbeam toaster]] and inspiring leader of the five appliances and the main protagonist of the film. Jerry Rees, the film's director, called the character "warm enough to put up with everyone else. And the other characters seeing themselves reflected in its surface, feel an immediate kinship." <ref name="RedditAMA">{{cite web|url=http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/104bza/im_jerry_rees_director_of_the_brave_little|title=I'm Jerry Rees, Director of "The Brave Little Toaster" - ask me anything.|date=2012-09-18|publisher=Reddit}}</ref> * [[Timothy E. Day]] as Blanky, an [[electric blanket]] with an innocent, childlike demeanor. He also voices the child Rob in the flashbacks. * [[Timothy Stack|Tim Stack]] as Lampy, an easily-impressed yet slightly irascible [[gooseneck lamp]], who "thought he was bright, but he could be pretty dim sometimes."<ref name="RedditAMA"></ref> Stack also voiced the customer named Zeke. * [[Jon Lovitz]] as Radio, a tube-based [[Antique_radio#Bakelite|Bakelite]] dial [[Receiver (radio)|radio]] whose personality parodies loud and pretentious [[Radio personality|radio announcers]]. Rees performed Radio's singing voice, as Lovitz was working on [[Saturday Night Live]] at the time.<ref name="RedditAMA"></ref> * [[Thurl Ravenscroft]] as Kirby, a very low-pitched, individualistic upright [[Kirby Company| Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80]] [[vacuum cleaner]] who dons a cynical, cantankerous attitude towards the other appliances. * [[Wayne Kaatz]] as Rob ("The Master"), the original human owner of the five appliances. Appearing as a child in flashbacks, Rob, now an adult, is leaving for [[college]]. * [[Phil Hartman]] as [[Air Conditioner]], who resides in the cabin with the five appliances. He loses his temper while arguing with the appliances and explodes, and is repaired by Rob near the end of the film. **Hartman also voiced the [[Peter Lorre]]-inspired [[Pendant light|Hanging Lamp]] in the appliance parts store. * [[Joe Ranft]] as Elmo St. Peters, an owner of a [[spare part]]s shop, where he disassembles broken machines and sells the pieces. * Colette Savage as Chris, Rob's tomboyish girlfriend. * Jim Jackman as Plugsy, a [[table lamp]] who leads the modern machines, who reside in Rob's apartment. While they were benevolent in the original novel, here they are jealous and antagonistic towards the main characters. * [[Jonathan Benair]] as T.V., a [[black and white television]] who lives in Rob's apartment and is an old friend of the five appliances. *[[Judy Toll]] as "Mish Mash", a mutated [[can opener]], [[Light fixture|lamp]], and [[electric shaver]] appliance. She also voices [[Megaphone]] in the appliance parts store. *[[Mindy Sterling|Mindy Stern]] as Rob's mother. She also voices Two-Face Sewing Machine in Rob's apartment. * Randall William Cook as [[Entertainment Center]] in Rob's apartment. * Randy Bennett as [[personal computer|Computer]] in Rob's apartment. * Louis Conti as the TV Announcer when the TV is changed to a Spanish station. ==Production== The film rights to ''The Brave Little Toaster'', the original novel, were bought by the Disney studios in 1982, two years after its appearance in print. After animators [[John Lasseter]] and [[Glen Keane]] had finished a short 2D/3D test film based on the book ''[[Where the Wild Things Are]]'', Lasseter and producer Thomas L. Wilhite decided they wanted to make a whole feature this way. The story they chose was ''The Brave Little Toaster'', but in their enthusiasm, they ran into issues pitching the idea to two high level Disney executives, animation administrator Ed Hansen, and Disney president [[Ron W. Miller]]. During Lasseter and Wilhite's pitch, the film was rejected due to the costs of having traditionally animated characters inside then expensive computer-generated backgrounds. A few minutes after the meeting, Lasseter received a phone call from Hansen and was asked to come down to his office, where Lasseter was told that he was dismissed. The development was then transferred to the new Hyperion Pictures, the creation of former Disney employees Wilhite and executive producer [[Willard Carroll]], who took the production along with them.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> With Disney backing the project, ''Toaster'' soon turned into an independent effort; the electronics company [[TDK]] and video distributor [[CBS-Fox]] soon joined in. In 1986, Hyperion began to work on the story and characters, with Taiwan's [[Wang Film Productions]] for the overseas unit.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> The cost was reduced to $2.3 million as production began. [[Jerry Rees]], a crew member on two previous Disney films, ''[[The Fox and the Hound (film)|The Fox and the Hound]]'' and ''[[Tron]]'', and a friend of Lasseter, was chosen to direct the film, and was also a writer on the screenplay along with [[Joe Ranft]]. Rees' inspiration for voice casting came from the [[Groundlings]] improvisational group, some of whose members ([[Jon Lovitz]], [[Phil Hartman]], [[Timothy Stack]], and [[Mindy Sterling]]) voiced characters in the film. At the time, Lovitz and Hartman were stars of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. The color stylist was veteran Disney animator Ken O'Connor, a member of Disney's [[Walt Disney Feature Animation|feature animation department]] from its establishment.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> ==Music== {{Infobox album <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums --> | Name = The Brave Little Toaster: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Type = Soundtrack | Artist = [[David Newman (composer)|David Newman]] and [[Van Dyke Parks]] | Cover = | Released = July 12, 2005 | Recorded = 1986-87 | Genre = Soundtrack | Length = | Label = Percepto | Producer = | Reviews = }} The film score of ''The Brave Little Toaster'' was composed and conducted by [[David Newman (composer)|David Newman]] and performed by the [[New Japan Philharmonic]]. The film contains four original songs ("City of Lights", "It's a 'B' Movie", "Cutting Edge", and "Worthless") that were written by [[Van Dyke Parks]]. Newman's score for this movie was one of his earlier works and apparently one that he felt very close to. He did not view it as a cheerful one, and decided to give the film a dramatic score to reinforce the serious nature of many of the film's themes. In writing the score, Newman, "tapped into an inherent sadness in being abandoned and seeking reunion."<ref name="RedditAMA"></ref> {{Track listing | title1= Main Title | length1= 2:24 | title2= They All Wake Up | length2= 2:44 | title3= Blanky's Dream | length3= 2:30 | title4= The Air Conditioner Blows | length4= 1:22 | title5= They Decide to Go | length5= 0:54 | title6= They Look for Transportation | length6= 0:52 | title7= Out into the World | length7= 1:42 | title8= City of Lights | length8= 3:01 | title9= Blanky Looks for a Place to Sleep | length9= 1:06 | title10= The Pond/Busby Berkley/The Meadow | length10= 5:37 | title11= Toaster's Dream | length11= 1:18 | title12= The Storm | length12= 1:38 | title13= Blanky Is Blown Away | length13= 1:39 | title14= The Waterfall | length14= 1:00 | title15= Kirby Rescues the Group | length15= 1:31 | title16= They Sink in the Mud | length16= 1:28 | title17= In the Shop | length17= 0:58 | title18= Blender's Motor Is Sold | length18= 1:32 | title19= It's a 'B' Movie | length19= 3:05 | title20= Radio Is Stalked | length20= 1:06 | title21= Happy Travel | length21= 1:14 | title22= Into the City | length22= 1:31 | title23= Cutting Edge | length23= 2:31 | title24= Junkyard Montage | length24= 1:26 | title25= Worthless | length25= 4:28 | title26= Finale | length26= 7:03 | title27= End Title | length27= 3:37 }}<ref>[http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6874167/a/Brave+Little+Toaster.htm CD universe: Brave Little Toaster]</ref> ==Release== ''The Brave Little Toaster'' premiered in 1987 at the Los Angeles International Animation Celebration.

Distributed by [[Walt Disney Pictures]], ''Toy Story'' was the first feature-length [[Computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] film and the first film produced by Pixar. ''Toy Story'' follows a group of [[anthropomorphic]] [[toys]] who pretend to be lifeless whenever humans are present, and focuses on the relationship between [[Woody (Toy Story)|Woody]], a [[pullstring]] [[cowboy]] [[doll]] ([[Tom Hanks]]), and [[Buzz Lightyear]], an [[astronaut]] [[action figure]] ([[Tim Allen]]). The film was written by John Lasseter, [[Andrew Stanton]], [[Joel Cohen (writer)|Joel Cohen]], [[Alec Sokolow]], and [[Joss Whedon]], and featured music by [[Randy Newman]]. Its executive producer was [[Steve Jobs]] with [[Edwin Catmull]]. Pixar, who had been producing short animated films to promote their computers, was approached by Disney to produce a computer-animated feature after the success of the short ''[[Tin Toy]]'' (1988), which is told from the perspective of a toy. Lasseter, Stanton, and [[Pete Docter]] wrote early story treatments which were thrown out by Disney, who pushed for a more edgy film. After disastrous story reels, production was halted and the script was re-written, better reflecting the tone and theme Pixar desired: that "toys deeply want children to play with them, and that this desire drives their hopes, fears, and actions."<ref name="PixarTouch05"/> The studio, then consisting of a relatively small number of employees, produced the film under minor financial constraints.<ref name=ew7/><ref name="Isaacson208"/> The top-grossing film on its opening weekend,<ref name="numbers">{{cite web|url=http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/1995/0TYST.php|title=Toy Story|work=The Numbers|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref> ''Toy Story'' went on to earn over $361&nbsp;million worldwide.<ref name="BOXMOJO">{{cite web|url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=toystory.htm|title=Toy Story|work=[[Box Office Mojo]]|accessdate=February&nbsp;18, 2010}}</ref> Reviews were highly positive, praising both the animation's technical innovation and the screenplay's wit and sophistication,<ref name="metacritic">{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/toy-story|title=Toy Story Reviews|work=[[Metacritic]]|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref><ref name="RotTom">{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/toy_story/|title=Toy Story (1995)|work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref> and it is now widely considered by many critics to be one of the [[List of films considered the best|best animated films ever made]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/650/650717p4.html |title=Top 25 Animated Movies of All-Time – Movies Feature at IGN |publisher=Movies.ign.com |date=June 18, 2011 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Posted Jun 2 2008 4:25&nbsp;pm |url=http://blog.moviefone.com/2008/06/02/feature-page-5-1_m_f/ |title=Best Animated Movies (5–1) – The Moviefone Blog |publisher=Blog.moviefone.com |date=June 2, 2008 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/best_animated_films/toy_story/ |title=Best Animated Films – Toy Story |publisher=Rotten Tomatoes |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.afi.com/10top10/category.aspx?cat=1 |title=10 Top 10 |publisher=AFI |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/terry-gilliams-top-50-animated-movies-of-all-time/ |title=Time Out’s Top 50 Animated Movies of All Time Curated by Terry Gilliam &#124; /Film |publisher=Slashfilm.com |date=October 7, 2009 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://themovieblog.com/2008/10/the-movie-blogs-10-best-animated-films-of-all-time |title=The Movie Blog’s 10 Best Animated Films Of All Time |publisher=The Movie Blog |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Corliss |first=Richard |url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2079149_2079152_2079169,00.html |title=Toy Story, 1995 – The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films |work=TIME |date=June 23, 2011 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref> In addition to home media releases and theatrical re-releases, ''Toy Story''-inspired material has run the gamut from toys, video games, theme park attractions, spin-offs, merchandise, and two sequels—''[[Toy Story 2]]'' (1999) and ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' (2010)—both of which received massive commercial success and critical acclaim.

With his family moving homes one week before his birthday, Andy is given a week early party to spend with his friends. The toys stage a [[reconnaissance mission]] to discover Andy's new presents. Andy receives a space ranger [[Buzz Lightyear]] ([[Tim Allen]]) [[action figure]], whose impressive features see him replacing Woody as Andy's favorite toy. Woody is resentful, especially as Buzz also gets attention from the other toys. However Buzz believes himself to be a real space ranger on a mission to return to his home planet, as Woody fails to convince him he is a toy. Andy prepares for a family outing at the space themed [[Pizza Planet]] restaurant with Buzz. Woody attempts to be picked by misplacing Buzz. He intends to trap Buzz in a gap behind Andy's desk, but the plan goes disastrously wrong when he accidentally knocks Buzz out the window, resulting in him being accused of murdering Buzz out of jealousy. With Buzz missing, Andy takes Woody to Pizza Planet, but Buzz climbs into the car and confronts Woody when they stop at a gas station. The two fight and fall out of the car, which drives off and leaves them behind. Woody spots a truck bound for Pizza Planet and plans to rendezvous with Andy there, convincing Buzz to come with him by telling him it will take him to his home planet. Once at Pizza Planet, Buzz makes his way into a [[claw game]] machine shaped like a spaceship, thinking it to be the ship Woody promised him. Inside, he finds squeaky aliens who revere the claw arm as their master. When Woody clambers into the machine to rescue Buzz, the aliens force the two towards the claw and they are captured by Andy’s neighbor [[Sid (Toy Story)|Sid Phillips]] ([[Erik Von Detten]]), who finds amusement in torturing and destroying toys. At Sid's house, the two attempt to escape before Andy's moving day, encountering Sid’s nightmarish toy creations and his vicious dog, Scud ([[Frank Welker]]). Buzz sees a commercial for Buzz Lightyear action figures and realizes that he really is a toy. Attempting to fly to test this, Buzz falls and loses one of his arms, going into depression and unable to cooperate with Woody. Woody waves Buzz’s arm from a window to seek help from the toys in Andy’s room, but they are horrified thinking Woody attacked him, while Woody realizes Sid's toys are friendly when they reconnect Buzz's arm. Sid prepares to destroy Buzz by strapping him to a [[fireworks|rocket]], but is delayed that evening by a [[thunderstorm]]. Woody convinces Buzz that life is worth living because of the joy he can bring to Andy, which helps Buzz regain his spirit. Cooperating with Sid's toys, Woody rescues Buzz and scares Sid away by coming to life in front of him, warning him to never torture toys again. Woody and Buzz then wave goodbye to the mutant toys and return home through a fence, but miss Andy’s car as it drives away to his new house. Down the road, they climb onto the moving truck containing Andy’s other toys, but Scud chases them, bites down on Woody's leg and tries to pull him off. Buzz tackles the dog to save Woody. Woody attempts to rescue Buzz with Andy's [[radio-controlled car|RC car]] but the other toys, who think Woody now got rid of RC, attack Woody and toss him off onto the road. Spotting Woody driving RC back with Buzz alive, the other toys realize their mistake and try to help. When RC's batteries become depleted, Woody ignites the rocket on Buzz's back and manages to throw RC into the moving truck before they soar into the air. Buzz opens his wings to cut himself free before the rocket explodes, gliding with Woody to land safely into a box in Andy’s car. Andy looks into it and is elated to have found his two missing toys. On [[Christmas Day]] at their new house, Buzz and Woody stage another reconnaissance mission to prepare for the new toy arrivals, one of which is a [[Mrs. Potato Head]], much to the delight of [[Mr. Potato Head (Toy Story)|Mr. Potato Head]] ([[Don Rickles]]). As Woody jokingly asks what might be worse than Buzz, the two share a worried smile as they discover Andy's new gift is a puppy. ==Cast== {{Main|List of Toy Story characters}} ;Main cast * [[Tom Hanks]] as [[Sheriff Woody|Woody]], a cowboy pull string doll * [[Tim Allen]] as [[Buzz Lightyear]], a Space Ranger action figure * [[Don Rickles]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]], a potato shaped doll with put together pieces on his body * [[Jim Varney]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Slinky Dog|Slinky Dog]], a [[Slinky|slink toy]] * [[Wallace Shawn]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Rex|Rex]], a cowardly green ''[[Tyrannosaurus|Tyrannosaurus rex]]'' * [[John Ratzenberger]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Hamm|Hamm]], a piggy bank * [[Annie Potts]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Bo Peep|Bo Peep]], a shepherdess and Woody's love interest * [[John Morris (actor)|John Morris]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Andy Davis|Andy Davis]], the young boy who owns all the toys * [[Erik von Detten]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Sid Phiillps|Sid Phillips]], Andy's former next door neighbor, who destroys toys for his own amusement * [[Laurie Metcalf]] as [[List of Toy Story characters#Andy's Mom|Andy's Mom]] * [[R.

Catmull, Smith and Guggenheim were joined by Bill Reeves (head of animation research and development), Jobs, and Lasseter.

The core idea of ''Toy Story'' was present from the treatment onward, however: that "toys deeply want children to play with them, and that this desire drives their hopes, fears, and actions."<ref name="PixarTouch05">Price, p. 121</ref> Katzenberg felt the original treatment was problematic and told Lasseter to reshape ''Toy Story'' as more of an odd-couple buddy picture, and suggested they watch some classic buddy movies, such as ''[[The Defiant Ones]]'' and ''[[48 Hrs.]]'', in which two characters with different attitudes are thrown together and have to bond.<ref name="PixarTouch07"/><ref name="Isaacson207"/> Lasseter, Stanton, and Docter emerged in early September 1991 was the second treatment, and although the lead characters were still Tinny and the dummy, the outline of the final film was beginning to take shape.<ref name="PixarTouch07"/> The script went through many changes before the final version.

Originally Woody was a ventriloquist's dummy with a pull-string (hence the name Woody). However, character designer, [[Bud Luckey]] suggested that Woody could be changed to a cowboy ventriloquist dummy, John Lasseter liked the contrast between the [[Western (genre)|Western]] genre and the [[science fiction|Sci-Fi]] genre and the character immediately changed. Eventually all the ventriloquist dummy aspects of the character were deleted, because the dummy was designed to look "sneaky and mean."<ref name="PixarTouch09">Price, p. 126</ref> However they kept the name Woody to pay homage to the Western actor [[Woody Strode]].<ref name="PixarTouch08"/> The story department drew inspiration from films such as ''[[Midnight Run]]'' and ''[[The Odd Couple (film)|The Odd Couple]]'',<ref name="MidnightRunInfluence">{{cite web|url=http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12024 |title=Charlie Rose Interview of John Lasseter |accessdate=(Dec 2, 2011)}}</ref> and Lasseter screened [[Hayao Miyazaki]]'s ''[[Castle in the Sky]]'' (1986) for further influence.<ref name="PixarTouch10"/> ''Toy Story''{{'}}s script was strongly influenced by the ideas of screenwriter [[Robert McKee]]. The members of Pixar's story team—Lasseter, Stanton, Docter and [[Joe Ranft]]—were aware that most of them were beginners at writing for feature films. None of them had any feature story or writing credits to their name besides Ranft, who had taught a story class at [[CalArts]] and did some storyboard work prior.<ref name="PixarTouch09"/> Seeking insight, Lasseter and Docter attended a three-day seminar in [[Los Angeles]] given by McKee. His principles, grounded in [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[Poetics (Aristotle)|Poetics]]'', dictated that a character emerges most realistically and compellingly from the choices that the protagonist makes in reaction to his problems.<ref name="PixarTouch10">Price, p. 127</ref> Disney also appointed [[Joel Cohen (writer)|Joel Cohen]], [[Alec Sokolow]] and, later, Joss Whedon to help develop the script. Whedon found that the script wasn't working but had a great structure, and added the character of Rex and sought a pivotal role for Barbie.<ref name="PixarTouch11">Price, p. 128</ref> The story team continued to touch up the script as production was underway. Among the late additions was the encounter between Buzz and the alien squeak toys at Pizza Planet, which emerged from a brainstorming session with a dozen directors, story artists, and animators from Disney.<ref name="PixarTouch19"/> ===Casting=== Katzenberg gave approval for the script on January 19, 1993, at which point voice casting could begin.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Lasseter always wanted Tom Hanks to play the character of Woody.

In early screen tests, Pixar impressed Disney with the technical innovation but convincing Disney of the plot was more difficult.

Schumacher replied bluntly: "Because it’s not their movie anymore."<ref name="Isaacson208"/> Lasseter was embarrassed with what was on the screen, later recalling, "It was a story filled with the most unhappy, mean characters that I’ve ever seen." He asked Disney for the chance to retreat back to Pixar and rework the script in two weeks, and Katzenberg was supportive.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> Lasseter, Stanton, Docter and Ranft delivered the news of the production shutdown to the production crew, many of whom had left other jobs to work on the project. In the meantime, the crew would shift to television commercials while the head writers worked out a new script. Although Lasseter kept morale high by remaining outwardly buoyant, the production shutdown was "a very scary time," recalled story department manager BZ Petroff.<ref name="PixarTouch14">Price, p. 131</ref> Schneider had initially wanted to shutdown production altogether and fire all recently hired animators.<ref name="autogenerated2005">{{cite video|title=Toy Story (10th Anniversary Edition) - (Filmmakers Reflect)|medium=DVD|publisher=Walt Disney Home Entertainment|date=September&nbsp;6, 2005}}</ref> Katzenberg put the film under the wing of Disney Feature Animation. The Pixar team was pleased that the move would give them an open door to counsel from Disney's animation veterans. Schneider, however, continued to take a dim view of the project and would later go over Katzenberg's head to urge Eisner to cancel it.<ref name="PixarTouch07">Price, p. 124</ref> Stanton retreated into a small, dark windowless office, emerging periodically with new script pages. He and the other story artists would then draw the shots on storyboards. Whedon came back to Pixar for part of the shutdown to help with revising, and the script was revised in two weeks as promised.<ref name="PixarTouch14"/> When Katzenberg and Schneider halted production on ''Toy Story'', Steve Jobs kept the work going with his own personal funding. Jobs did not insert himself much into the creative process, respecting the artists at Pixar and instead managing the relationship with Disney.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> The Pixar team came back with a new script three months later, with the character of Woody morphed from being a tyrannical boss of Andy’s other toys to being their wise leader. It also included a more adult-oriented staff meeting amongst the toys rather than a juvenile group discussion that had existed in earlier drafts. Buzz Lightyear's character was also changed slightly "to make it more clear to the audience that he really doesn't realize he's a toy."<ref name="autogenerated2005"/> Katzenberg and Schneider approved the new approach, and by February 1994 the film was back in production.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> The voice actors returned in March 1994 to record their new lines.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> When production was greenlit, the crew quickly grew from its original size of 24 to 110, including 27 animators, 22 technical directors, and 61 other artists and engineers.<ref name=ew7/><ref name="PixarTouch15">Price, p. 133</ref> In comparison, ''[[The Lion King]]'', released in 1994, required a budget of $45&nbsp;million and a staff of 800.<ref name=ew7>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,299897_7,00.html |title='Toy Story': The Inside Buzz |publisher=EW.com |date=December 8, 1995 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref> In the early budgeting process, Jobs was eager to produce the film as efficiently as possible, impressing Katzenberg with his focus on cost-cutting. Despite this, the $17 million production budget was proving inadequate, especially given the major revision that was necessary after Katzenberg had pushed them to make Woody too edgy. Jobs demanded more funds in order to complete the film right, and insisted that Disney was liable for the cost overruns.

Recruiting animators for ''Toy Story'' was brisk; the magnet for talent was not the pay, generally mediocre, but rather the allure of taking part in the first computer-animated feature.<ref name="PixarTouch15"/> Lasseter spoke on the challenges of the computer animation in the film: "We had to make things look more organic. Every leaf and blade of grass had to be created. We had to give the world a sense of history. So the doors are banged up, the floors have scuffs."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> The film began with animated storyboards to guide the animators in developing the characters. 27 animators worked on the film, using 400 computer models to animate the characters.

Lasseter wanted to impress Disney with a number of things in the test piece that could not be done in traditional, hand-drawn animation, such as Woody's plaid shirt or venetian blind shadows falling across the room.<ref name="PixarTouch09"/> Every shot in the film passed through the hands of eight different teams. The art department gave a shot its color scheme and general lighting.<ref name="PixarTouch16">Price, p. 134</ref> The layout department, under Craig Good, then placed the models in the shot, framed the shot by setting the location of the virtual camera, and programmed any camera moves. To make the medium feel as familiar as possible, they sought to stay within the limits of what might be done in a live-action film with real cameras, dollies, tripods and cranes.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> From layout, a shot went to the animation department, headed by directing animators Rich Quade and [[Ash Brannon]]. Lasseter opted against Disney's approach of assigning an animator to work on a character throughout a film, but made certain exceptions in scenes where he felt acting was particularly critical.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> The animators used the Menv program to set the character into a desired pose. Once a sequence of hand-built poses, or "[[keyframe]]s", was created, the software would build the poses from the frames in-between.<ref name="PixarTouch17">Price, p. 135</ref> The animators studied videotapes of the actors for inspiration, and Lasseter rejected automatic lip-syncing.<ref name="PixarTouch17"/> To sync the characters' mouths and facial expressions to the actors' voices, animators spent a week per 8 seconds of animation.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/> After this the animators would compile the scenes, and develop a new storyboard with the computer animated characters. Animators then added shading, lighting, visual effects, and finally used 300 computer processors to render the film to its final design.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/><ref name="HenneMakingOf"/> The shading team, under Tom Porter, used RenderMan's shader language to create shader programs for each of a model's surfaces. A few surfaces in ''Toy Story'' came from real objects: a shader for the curtain fabric in Andy's room used a scan of actual cloth.<ref name="PixarTouch18">Price, p. 136</ref> After animation and shading, the final lighting of the shot was orchestrated by the lighting team, under Galyn Susman and Sharon Calahan. The completed shot then went into rendering on a "render farm" of 117 [[Sun Microsystems]] computers that ran 24 hours a day.<ref name="PixarTouch19"/> Finished animation emerged in a steady drip of around three minutes a week.<ref name="PixarTouch20">Price, p. 138</ref> Each frame took from 45 minutes up to 30 hours to render, depending on its complexity. In total, the film required 800,000 machine hours and 114,240 frames of animation.<ref name="EWToyWonder"/><ref name="WiredMakingof"/><ref name="CNN110animators"/> There is over 77 minutes of animation spread across 1,561 shots.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> A camera team, aided by David DiFrancesco, recorded the frames onto [[film stock]]. ''Toy Story'' was rendered at a mere 1,536 by 922 pixels, with each pixel corresponding to roughly a quarter inch of screen area on a typical cinema screen.<ref name="PixarTouch19">Price, p. 137</ref> During post-production, the film was sent to [[Skywalker Sound]] where sound effects were mixed with the music score.<ref name="HenneMakingOf"/> ===Music=== Disney was concerned with Lasseter's position on the use of music. Unlike other Disney films of the time, Lasseter did not want the film to be a musical, saying it was a [[buddy film]] featuring "real toys." [[Joss Whedon]] agreed saying, "It would have been a really bad musical, because it's a buddy movie. It's about people who won't admit what they want, much less sing about it. ... Buddy movies are about sublimating, punching an arm, 'I hate you.' It's not about open emotion."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> However, Disney favored the musical format, claiming "Musicals are our orientation. Characters breaking into song is a great shorthand. It takes some of the onus off what they're asking for."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Disney and Pixar reached a compromise: the characters in ''Toy Story'' would not break into song, but the film would use songs over the action, as in ''The Graduate'', to convey and amplify the emotions that Buzz and Woody were feeling.<ref name="PixarTouch11"/> Disney tapped [[Randy Newman]] to compose the film. The edited ''Toy Story'' was due to Randy Newman and Gary Rydstrom in late September 1995 for their final work on the score and sound design, respectively.<ref name="PixarTouch22">Price, p. 149</ref> Lasseter claimed "His songs are touching, witty, and satirical, and he would deliver the emotional underpinning for every scene."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Newman developed the film's signature song "[[You've Got a Friend in Me]]" in one day<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> although the tune is closely based on his own song, "I Love to See You Smile" from the soundtrack to the 1989 film, ''[[Parenthood (film)|Parenthood]]''. ===Editing and pre-release=== It was difficult for crew members to perceive the film's quality during much of the production process, when the finished footage was in scattered pieces and lacked elements like music and sound design.<ref name="PixarTouch20"/> Some animators felt the film would be a significant disappointment commercially, but felt animators and animation fans would find it interesting.<ref name="PixarTouch20"/> According to [[Lee Unkrich]], one of the original [[film editor|editors]] of ''Toy Story'', a scene was cut out of the original final edit. The scene features Sid, after Pizza Planet, torturing Buzz and Woody violently. Unkrich decided to cut right into the scene where Sid is interrogating the toys because the creators of the movie thought the audience would be loving Buzz and Woody at that point.<ref name = "Deleted Scenes">{{cite DVD-notes|title = Toy Story Deleted Scenes (Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition)|director = John Lasseter|publisher = [[Disney]]|year = 2005}}</ref> Another scene, where Woody was trying to get Buzz's attention when he was stuck in the box crate, was shortened because the creators felt it would lose the energy of the movie.<ref name = "Deleted Scenes"/> Peter Schneider had grown buoyant about the film as it neared completion, and announced a United States release date of November, coinciding with Thanksgiving weekend and the start of the winter holiday season.<ref name="PixarTouch21"/> Sources indicate that executive producer Steve Jobs lacked confidence in the film during its production, and he had been talking to various companies, ranging from Hallmark to Microsoft, about selling Pixar.<ref name="Isaacson208"/><ref name="PixarTouch21">Price, p. 139-142</ref> However, as the film progressed, Jobs became ever more excited about it, feeling that he might be on the verge of transforming the movie industry.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> As scenes from the movie were finished, he watched them repeatedly and had friends come by his home to share his new passion. Jobs decided that the release of ''Toy Story'' that November would be the occasion to take Pixar public.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> A test audience near Anaheim in late July 1995 indicated the need for last-minute tweaks, which added further pressure to the already frenetic final weeks. Response cards from the audience were encouraging, but were not top of the scale, adding further question as to how audiences would respond.<ref name="PixarTouch22"/> The film ended with a shot of Andy's house and the sound of a new puppy.

Both are sequels to the book and film versions of ''[[The Brave Little Toaster (film)|The Brave Little Toaster]]''. The film was distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]] and released in 1998. The plot takes place after ''[[The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue]]'', as the group already knows Ratso the rat, and Wittgenstein the supercomputer, having met him in ''To the Rescue''. They also refer to him as "our old college buddy"; Rob is in college in the other film. Both films were produced at the same time and this one was released first. ==Plot== Rob and Chris have a baby boy named Robbie. At first the appliances all think that they will pay more attention to him but later get used to him ("''I See a New You''"). Later, the Hearing Aid, who was left in a drawer in their new house from the [[Albert Einstein|past owner]] gets out of the drawer and passes everyone who is asleep. Toaster then sees him and follows him up to the attic. Toaster gets very suspicious about him when he was talking to someone in space. The next morning, Toaster tells what happened last night then they all agree to stay on watch of the drawer till he comes out. Later, when it is midnight, everyone falls asleep just when Hearing Aid escapes from the drawer. The "little master", as they call baby Robbie, awakes to the sound and gets out of his crib and follows Hearing Aid. The appliances awake and find Robbie going up the stairs. Lampy tries to get him down, but is dragged up the stairs and his plug slips out and falls down the stairs. The appliances appear in the room when a big beam of light appears. The appliances chase after Hearing Aid, but then Robbie disappears in a bubble through space. And after that, they all find out that he was sent to [[Mars]]. They get Wittgenstein, the old [[supercomputer]], to help them and gives them advice. They get the microwave and cheddar cheese popcorn to help them fly, as it is organic, a laundry basket, and the ceiling fan. They set off in space to go to Mars and find Robbie. During their flight, a pack of balloons appear who fly endlessly in space from hands who let them go ("''Floating''"). The appliances crash on Mars and find the baby. They meet a [[Christmas angel]] named Tinselina who was sent to mars with [[Viking 1]]. The appliances follow a group of military toasters who had just arrived to their leader Supreme Commander who is a huge refrigerator. They then learn that they are going to blow Earth up because their old owners threw them out, and Toaster tries to talk them out of it. In between the fight, Robbie is able to push a hand out of his bubble. His hand touches Supreme Commander, and the refrigerator suddenly begins to turn pink. He smiles at the child, before returning his original color. Toaster ends up between an election with Supreme Commander ("''Humans''"). After a while, Toaster wins the election and is the new Supreme Commander. The appliances go into the freezer of Supreme Commander and find the brother of Hearing Aid, who he hasn't seen in sixty years. When asked by Toaster why Surpreme Commander changed his mind about blowing up Earth, he says "the touch of the small boy's hand" reminded him that not all humans are bad. They are all about to return to earth when suddenly Hearing Aid's brother forgets to deactivate the rocket. The missile counts down. Toaster jumps off with Hearing Aid's brother and destroys the rocket. Toaster is almost left on Mars, but the others come back for him. After Toaster is on board, Tinselina gives up her clothes so they can have something organic to get back to earth. The appliances happily ride back to Earth ("''Home Again''"). The appliances return to Earth just in time as the [[baby monitor]] that Ratso, their pet rat, had been restraining all night, finally wakes Rob and Christine up. One day when they are taping Robbie, Rob finds Tinselina in a garbage can and fixes her up. It is a happy ending with Robbie's first word is "Toaster!" and Tinselina's first time on a Christmas tree. It is a happy ending with the appliances having a merry Christmas with the little master. ==Voice cast== * [[Deanna Oliver]] as Toaster * [[Thurl Ravenscroft]] as Kirby * [[Roger Kabler]] as Radio * [[Timothy Stack]] as Lampy * [[Eric Lloyd]] as Blanky * [[Chris Young (actor)|Chris Young]] as Rob * [[Jessica Tuck]] as Chris * [[Carol Channing]] as the ceiling fan * [[Farrah Fawcett]] as Faucet * [[DeForest Kelley]] as [[Viking 1]] * [[Alan King (comedian)|Alan King]] as Supreme Commander ** [[Jim Cummings]] provided the singing voice of the Supreme Commander * [[Andy Milder]] as Ratso * [[Kath Soucie]] as Tinselina * [[Wayne Knight]] as Microwave * [[Fyvush Finkel]] as Hearing aid * [[Stephen Tobolowsky]] as Calculator * Redmond O'Neal as Squirt * [[Russi Taylor]] as Baby Robbie * [[Brian Doyle-Murray]] as Wittgenstein ==Musical numbers== # "I See a New You" - Jessica Tuck # "Floating" - Balloons # "Humans" - Jim Cummings, Deanna Oliver # "Home Again" - Deanna Oliver, Thurl Ravenscroft, Roger Kabler, Timothy Stack, Eric Lloyd ==Reception== The movie got mixed to negative reviews and was widely panned by fans of the first movie. ==Comparisons to Book== In the book, only The Fan, Microwave, Hearing Aid, Toaster, Radio, and Blanky (after sneaking on the laundry basket) went to Mars.

Though it was released after ''[[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'', it is actually the second film in chronological order. A production of [[Hyperion Pictures|Hyperion]]/[[The Kushner-Locke Company|Kushner-Locke]], it was originally released in 1999 in [[North America]] by [[Walt Disney Home Video]]. It was also released the same year in 1999 in the [[United Kingdom]] and premiered on TV on [[BBC Two]] but there was no DVD release. ==Cast== * [[Deanna Oliver]] as Toaster * [[Timothy Stack]] as Lampy * [[Roger Kabler]] as Radio * [[Eric Lloyd]] as Blanky * [[Thurl Ravenscroft]] as Kirby * [[Brian Doyle-Murray]] as Wittgenstein * [[Chris Young (actor)|Chris Young]] as Rob * [[Jessica Tuck]] as Chris * [[Alfre Woodard]] as Maisie * Andy Midler as Ratso * [[Jonathan Benair]] as Jim Bob * [[Eddie Bracken]] as Sebastian * [[Andrew Daly]] as Murgatroid * [[Eddie Deezen]] as Charlie * Patti Edwards as Lab Computer * [[Victoria Jackson]] as Mouse * Marc Allen Lewis as Security Guard * Ross Mapletoft as Modem * [[Kevin Meaney]] as Computer * [[Jay Mohr]] as Mack * [[Danny Nucci]] as Alberto ==Plot== Rob, the owner of the appliances and whom they refer to as "the master", is working in a veterinary clinic where he tends to injured animals. One night, while working on a [[thesis]], his computer crashes thanks to a terrible [[computer virus]] from Wittgenstein, an old TLW-728 [[supercomputer]]. The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending, to a place called "Tartaras Laboratories", the same place that Sebastian, an old monkey Rob is tending to, was sent to when he was just a [[baby]]. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement. The miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, named the "WFC 11-12-55". The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death. In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to the college's storage building to find the hard-to-find WFC 11-12-55 tube. When they come back with the last apparent tube for miles, however, Radio and Ratso (after an argument with the tube) accidentally breaks it, and it seems that all hope is lost. Wittgenstein does his best with all his might, but he blows his remaining tube with a big explosion and apparently "[[death|is a goner]]". Ratso then blames Radio, which causes Radio himself to give up his own tube which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving himself as a lifeless appliance. Apparently, knowing that they were given a final chance to save the animals, the appliances replaced the tube in the nick of time; with the boosted power of the new tube, Wittgenstein wakes up, miraculously regenerates the other smashed tubes connected to himself and is completely revived to as good as new. By the end of the film, the appliances restore Rob's thesis and stop Mack from selling the injured animals, Radio's tube is replaced with a new one (hence his revival), Rob proposes to his girlfriend Chris, and all is well. ==Notes== Although this is third and final movie released, it appears to be the second in plot sequence. This is indicated in '' [[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'' by the fact that the group is already familiar with Wittgenstein the supercomputer, and by the fact that he is referred to as "our old college buddy." Also, Rob proposes to his girlfriend in this movie, while in the second movie the two are married with a baby. This is because both the films were in production at the time, and ''Goes To Mars'' just happened to be finished first. ==Reception== The movie got mixed reviews but most fans say it's more enjoyable than ''The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars''. ==Animal Characters== *Sebastian - [[Monkey]] *Maisie - [[Cat]] *Ratso - [[Rat]] *Murgatroid - [[Snake]] *Alberto - [[Chihuahua (dog)|Chihuahua]] ==External links== *{{IMDb title|0163986}} *{{Amg movie|179411}} *{{rotten-tomatoes|brave_little_toaster_to_the_rescue}} *{{bcdb title|20644}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue}} [[Category:1999 films]] [[Category:American animated films]] [[Category:Children's films]] [[Category:Direct-to-video films]] [[Category:Films distributed by Disney]] [[Category:Films featuring anthropomorphic characters]] [[Category:Sequel films]] [[es:The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue]] [[fr:Le Petit Grille-pain courageux : À la rescousse]] [[pl:Dzielny mały Toster ratuje przyjaciół]]'

A. Milne]]'s book ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]].'' Like other [[Pooh]] characters, Tigger is based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals. Nowadays he is most widely recognized as reinterpreted by the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] studios, with distinctive orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, springy tail, and (the one detail originating from A. A. Milne) his love of bouncing. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best." +==In literature== +[[File:The original Winnie the Pooh toys.jpg|thumb|right|The real stuffed toys owned by Christopher Robin and featured in the ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' stories. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear (aka Winnie-the-Pooh), Eeyore, and Piglet. They are on display in the [[Donnell Library Center]] in [[New York City]].]] Tigger is introduced in Chapter II of ''House at Pooh Corner'', when he shows up on [[Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie-the-Pooh's]] doorstep in the middle of the night, announcing himself with a big bounce. Most of the rest of that chapter is taken up with the characters' search for a food that Tigger can eat for breakfast - despite Tigger's claims to like "everything", it is quickly proven he does not like [[honey]], [[acorns]], [[thistles]], or most of the contents of [[Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga's]] larder. In a happy coincidence, however, he discovers what Tiggers ''really'' like best is [[extract of malt]], which Kanga has on hand because she gives it to her baby, [[Roo]], as "strengthening medicine". ----- -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 1|The Archives]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 2|Son of The Archives]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 3|Even more of The Archives]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 4|You wanted The Archives...you got it!]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 5|Archives....The Archives]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 6|Welcome to The Archives]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 7|Witty The Archives title goes here]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 8|The Archives has been left intentionally blank]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 9|It's dangerous to go alone, take The Archives]] -# [[User talk:Wildthing61476/Archive 10|I'm sorry but The Archives are in another castle]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 11|Archives: This one goes to 11!]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 12|I can't think of an Archives pun]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 13|IP Talk archives]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 14|Now with new bonus admin added in!]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 15|New and improved Archives products!]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 16|Stay Classy, Archives]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 17|Archivesmania X-Seven]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 18|Archives- Now Legal in the USA!]] -# [[User talk:RickinBaltimore/Archive 19|Something something Archives]] -</div><!--Template:Archivebox ends--> +From that point on, Tigger lives with Kanga and Roo in their house in the northeastern part of the [[Hundred Acre Wood]] near the Sandy Pit. He becomes great friends with Roo (to whom he becomes a sort of older sibling figure), and Kanga treats him in much the same way she does her own son. Tigger also interacts enthusiastically with all the other characters — sometimes too enthusiastically for the likes of [[Rabbit (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Rabbit]], who is sometimes exasperated by Tigger's constant bouncing, [[Eeyore]], who is once bounced into the river by Tigger, and [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet]], who always seems a little nervous about the new, large, bouncy animal in the Forest. Nonetheless, the animals are all shown to be friends. -== FinancialForce.com edit deletion == -You have removed my edit for this page because you said it expresses an opinion and is not objective.

He is the only new major character to be introduced in ''The House at Pooh Corner''; all of the others had been established in the earlier [[Winnie-the-Pooh (book)|Winnie-the-Pooh book]]. -== IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society deletion == +===Depictions=== +In [[Ernest H. Shepard]]'s illustrations, Tigger appears to walk (or more often, bounce) on four feet as opposed to two. He is, however, capable of holding a pen with one of his front paws. Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as "large", he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations. Pooh states once "He always seems bigger because of his bounces", implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is. -RickinBaltimore if I am reading the messages correctly you have deleted the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT_S) page which I did create a number of years ago as a volunteer. It is one of 40+ similar pages created by volunteers for the technical societies of the The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) a non-profit and the world's largest technical professional association.

[[User:RickinBaltimore|RickinBaltimore]] ([[User talk:RickinBaltimore#top|talk]]) 00:12, 9 January 2018 (UTC) +===Personality traits=== +That assessment fits well with Tigger's personality and his assessment of his own abilities, which he always overestimates. He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and has complete confidence in himself. Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do include flying, jumping farther than a [[kangaroo]], swimming, and climbing trees. He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree. He only succeeds half-way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again. Tigger also says Tiggers "never get lost"; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true - he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him. -== Question == +Like most of the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger was based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals, in this case a stuffed-toy tiger. However, the word "tiger" is never actually used in the book. The term "Tigger" is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal. No other "Tiggers" appear in the story, and at one point Tigger (who has just seen his reflection in a [[mirror]] and mistaken it for another individual) comments he thought he was the only one. Despite that belief, he constantly uses the term in the plural, as in "Tiggers don't like honey." and "So ''that's'' what Tiggers like!", etc. The term is always capitalized. -Hi Rick, hope all is well and you are enjoying 2018.

He has even starred in his own film, ''[[The Tigger Movie]]'' ([[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], 2000), along with his friends from the [[Hundred Acre Wood]]. -== Administrators' newsletter – January 2018 == +Tigger was originally voiced by [[Paul Winchell]].

On some albums and read-along cassettes in the early 1990s, [[Ed Gilbert]] voiced Tigger. Also, [[Will Ryan]] voiced Tigger in the [[Disney Channel]] program ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]''. -[[Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter|News and updates for administrators]] from the past month (December 2017). -[[File:ANEWSicon.png|right|150px]] -[[File:Admin mop.PNG|20px|alt=]] '''Administrator changes''' -:[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px|alt=added|Added]] [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] -:[[File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg|20px|alt=readded|Re-added]] [[Special:Permalink/816847795#Request for re-adminship following inactivity|Anetode]] • [[Special:Permalink/814324995#Resysop request (Laser brain)|Laser brain]] • [[Special:Permalink/815895890#Resysop / crat request (Worm That Turned)|Worm That Turned]] -:[[File:Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg|20px|alt=removed|Removed]] ''None'' +In the movies, Tigger sings his own theme song, "[[The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers]]", written by the [[Sherman Brothers]].

A tire swing hangs prominently from a branch of the tree. In [[The Tigger Movie]], Tigger builds a makeshift addition (gluing the shingles on with honey) in anticipation of a hoped-for visit by members of his family.

He is very confident and has quite an ego, he often thinks of himself as being handsome, and some of his other comments suggest he has a high opinion of himself. Tigger is always filled with great energy and optimism, and though always well-meaning, he can also be mischievous, and his actions have sometimes led to chaos and trouble for himself and his friends. Also, he often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realize they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. As in the books, Tigger never refers to himself as a tiger, but as a "Tigger". When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name is: "T-I-'Double-/G/'-Er (T-i-gg-er), which spells 'Tigger'".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4624547.stm |title=Disney's Tigger voice dies at 82 |accessdate=2008-10-06 |last= |first= |coauthors= |work= |publisher=BBC News | date=2005-06-26 | location=London}}</ref> -[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration''' -:* Following the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2017#Results|results of the 2017 election]], the following editors have been (re)appointed to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|Alex Shih}}, {{noping|BU Rob13}}, {{noping|Callanecc}}, {{noping|KrakatoaKatie}}, {{noping|Opabinia regalis}}, {{noping|Premeditated Chaos}}, {{noping|RickinBaltimore}}, {{noping|Worm That Turned}}. +Another of Tigger's notable personality traits is his habit of mispronouncing various words, or stressing wrong syllables in them (which is what Tiggers do best, which is why he's only one remaining).

In cartoon, he is often depicted bouncing around in ways which would make such a statement appear to be valid. -== IP using your username for vandalism == +In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', Tigger is often well-meaning but usually does more harm than good. In one episode, he invented a [[bulldozer]]-like contraption intended to provide convenience for Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit, but the invention proved to have disastrous results, and Rabbit insisted that Tigger shut it down; however, in the winter, a depressed Tigger accidentally started the machine up, and it proved to be useful by [[snowplow|plowing snow]] around Piglet's house before malfunctioning. On another occasion, Tigger attempted to mimic a superhero, "The Masked Offender," bringing mayhem to the Hundred-Acre Wood. In response, Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl (unaware that the Masked Offender was actually Tigger) staged a [[hoax]] in which they made an [[inanimate]] monster from a sticky glue-like material. The plan worked, revealing Tigger as the Masked Offender, but the fake monster (which was on wheels) turned on its makers, ultimately resulting in Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl hanging by the glue from a rickety bridge. Subsequently, Tigger resumed his role as the Masked Offender, and saved his friends. -Not sure if you want [[WP:Revdel]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crime_in_Baltimore&diff=prev&oldid=818376488 this] or what.

[[Michael Nyman]] has also provided music for the series. + +During the first three seasons, most stories were written by the characters' co-creator Susan Wicks, with [[Mary Mackay-Smith]] serving as a secondary writer. For seasons 4–6, all stories were written by Mackay-Smith. + +Unlike most TV shows, the animation on ''Katie and Orbie'' is similar to a slideshow, instead of coming to life, also, none of the characters actually speak, so a variety of [[sound effects]] are used during the stories. ''[[Pumper Pups]]'', a TV series produced by Amberwood Entertainment in 2000, also used this style of animation, and it was also narrated by Leslie Nielsen. + +International rights for the series were first owned by [[Entertainment Rights]] (which was also a producer company on seasons 4–6), which on 2009 was merged into [[Classic Media]]. On March 25, 2010, Canadian company [[E1 Entertainment]] signed a deal with Amberwood Entertainment on which E1 obtained the worldwide distribution rights to several of Amberwood Entertainment's TV shows, including all 78 episodes of ''Katie and Orbie''.<ref>http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/March2010/25/c5060.html</ref> + +==Main characters== +* '''Katie''' - A five-year-old girl who is, essentially, the main character of the show. She has blonde hair, and almost always wears a green and white striped t-shirt with blue [[overalls]]. Katie is imaginative, playful, curious and usually quite happy. She lives with her best friend Orbie and her parents in a suburb of an unnamed city. Her sound effects include a characteristic laugh, as well as occasional sighing, yelling and crying sounds. Those sound effects, as well as her "voice" during the Did You Know? segments, are made by Amanda Tripp. + +* '''Orbie''' - A small and pink [[Extraterrestrial life|alien]], he has red polka dots on his body (early episodes show him having the capacity to change the color of his dots, depending on how he feels), who is from an unknown planet which is "far away out past the moon". The book ''Katie and Orbie Pick Up the Garbage'', one of the books on which the series is based, implies that he was sent away from his home planet because it was too polluted to sustain life, and the destiny of his native family or his species is unknown. While travelling in a small spaceship, he reached Earth and just happened to land in Katie's backyard, and immediately he and Katie became best friends, resulting in him being "adopted" by Katie's parents. He's apparently the same age as Katie. He speaks in a unique series of squeaks and chirps (often referred to as 'honks') that people appear to be able to understand despite that fact that he isn't speaking any known language. With the exception of ''I Don't Want to be Different'' (the last story of the first episode), people are shown to be oblivious to the fact that he's an alien, and treat him like a normal person (In that story a group of kids at a restaurant look surprised at Orbie, making him feel embarrassed). He doesn't wear clothes or appear to require them; however, he does wear clothing and boots if it's raining, cold or snowing. He is a natural acrobat, often breaking into leaps and flips out of sheer joy and has pads on his fingers and toes which enable him to climb walls and hang from the ceiling. He can also use these pads to help him climb other things, but they work best on flat surfaces. He sleeps in Katie's closet, hanging upside down from the bar like a [[bat]].

The series debuted in 1994 on Family Channel and quickly became a success, prompting Lacewood to create two further seasons of the show in 1995 and 1996. Beginning with the third season in 1996, the series began to use [[digital ink and paint]] for coloring. + +In 1997, after producing 39 episodes for the show, Lacewood Productions closed down and production of the series was suspended. In 2000, Lacewood was reformed under the name [[Amberwood Entertainment]], which alongside [[Entertainment Rights]] began production of 26 more episodes for the show, which debuted on the Family Channel the next year. However, the revival of the series was short-lived, as in 2002 after the sixth season the series was cancelled. + +A total of 234 individual stories were produced, three per each half-hour episode. Each episode also had two instertitial segments titled ''Did You Know?'' which tells viewers small pieces of information regarding several subjects, such as plants, flowers, animals, the body and arts. These segments are narrated off-screen by Katie (voiced by Amanda Tripp). + +Each episode is structured by the opening theme, the first story, a ''Did You Know?'' interstitial segment, the second story, another ''Did You Know?'' interstitial segment, the third story and the closing credits. + +==Airing== + +* {{CAN}}: [[Family (TV channel)|Family]] from its premiere in 1994 to December 2012. +* [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] aired the show from 2006 to 2008. +* [[Playhouse Disney]] (2007–May 6, 2011). +* [[Disney Junior (Canadian English TV channel)|Disney Junior]] (May 6, 2011–December 31, 2012). +From 2007 until 2012, both Family and Disney Junior only showed the series during overnight hours, when many children are asleep.

The film was directed by [[Jerry Rees]]. The film is set in a world where [[Home appliance|household appliances]] and other electronics have the [[Anthropomorphism|ability to speak and move]], pretending to be lifeless in the presence of humans. The story focuses on five appliances&mdash; a [[toaster]], a desk [[lamp (fixture)|lamp]], an [[electric blanket]], a vacuum tube [[radio]], and a [[vacuum cleaner]]&mdash;who go on a quest to search for their original owner. + +The film was produced by [[Hyperion Pictures]] along with [[The Kushner-Locke Company]]. Many of the original members of [[Pixar|Pixar Animation Studios]] were involved with this film, including [[John Lasseter]] and [[Joe Ranft]]. While the film received a [[Limited release|limited theatrical release]], ''The Brave Little Toaster'' was popular on home video and was followed by two sequels a decade later. (''[[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'' and ''[[The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue]]'') + +==Plot== +Five appliances—a [[radio]], ''Radio'' ([[Jon Lovitz]]); a [[Gooseneck lamp|lamp]], ''Lampy'' ([[Timothy Stack|Tim Stack]]); an [[electric blanket]], ''Blanky'' ([[Timothy E. Day]]); a [[vacuum cleaner]], ''Kirby'' ([[Thurl Ravenscroft]]); and a [[toaster]], ''Toaster'' ([[Deanna Oliver]])—live in an vacant cabin located in the countryside. Each day they await their "Master", a child whom they have not seen for many years, with a growing sense of abandonment. When a car stops at the cabin and turns out to be a [[real estate broker]] placing a "for sale" sign, the appliances spiral into despair. Unable to accept that the Master would abandon them, Toaster decides that the group should head out and find the Master. The appliances rig up a [[car battery]] to an [[office chair]] pulled by Kirby and set out into the world, following the Radio's signal broadcasted from the city, where the Master lives. + +From the cabin to the big city, the appliances have many harrowing adventures where they slowly learn to work together. Shortly after stopping to rest within a forest, a violent storm during nightfall wakes Toaster and the others and blows Blanky up into the trees, and Lampy risks his life by using himself as a [[lightning rod]] to recharge the group's dead battery. After recovering Blanky, the group tries to cross a waterfall, only to have everyone fall in except for Kirby. Kirby dives after them and rescues them, and the appliances wash up into the middle of a swamp. After losing both the chair and the battery, the group resorts to pulling a disabled Kirby through the swamp. After almost drowning in [[quicksand]], they are rescued by Elmo St. Peters, the owner of an appliance parts store. At the store they meet a group of partially dismantled or broken appliances, who have given up on hope and await being disassembled and sold. After Radio is taken from the shelf and is about to have his [[radio tube]]s extracted, the appliances trick St. Peters and flee to the city. + +The Master, whose name is revealed to be Rob (Wayne Kaatz), lives in an apartment as a young adult and is about to depart for [[college]]. Rob leaves with his girlfriend Chris (Colette Savage) to head back to the cabin to pick up the appliances to take with him. The modern electronics in the apartment become disappointed and jealous. When the appliances arrive at Rob's apartment, the modern appliances convince them that they are outdated and unusable, tossing them into the garbage, where they are shortly transported to Ernie's Disposal, a [[Wrecking yard|junkyard]]. Rob and Chris return home after thinking his original appliances have been stolen. Rob's [[black and white television]] ([[Jonathan Benair]]), who originally lived with the appliances, broadcasts fake advertisements and convinces Rob and Chris to look at Ernie's Disposal for replacements. + +At the junkyard, the appliances lose hope and put themselves at the mercy of a giant [[Electromagnet|magnetic crane]] that picks up junk and places it on a conveyor belt that leads into a [[car crusher]]. When they discover that Rob is in the junkyard, they are encouraged and attempt to foil the magnetic crane in order to allow Rob to find them. After being thwarted several times, the magnetic crane picks up Rob himself as well as the appliances, except for Toaster, and drops them on the compactor's conveyor belt. Toaster sacrifices himself by leaping into the compactor's drive gears to stop the machine from destroying the appliances and killing Rob. Rob returns to the apartment with all of the appliances in tow, including a now mangled Toaster. Rob repairs the Toaster and takes all of them to college with him. + +==Cast== +* [[Deanna Oliver]] as Toaster, a gallant [[Sunbeam_Products|Sunbeam toaster]] and inspiring leader of the five appliances and the main protagonist of the film. Jerry Rees, the film's director, called the character "warm enough to put up with everyone else.

After animators [[John Lasseter]] and [[Glen Keane]] had finished a short 2D/3D test film based on the book ''[[Where the Wild Things Are]]'', Lasseter and producer Thomas L. Wilhite decided they wanted to make a whole feature this way. The story they chose was ''The Brave Little Toaster'', but in their enthusiasm, they ran into issues pitching the idea to two high level Disney executives, animation administrator Ed Hansen, and Disney president [[Ron W. Miller]]. During Lasseter and Wilhite's pitch, the film was rejected due to the costs of having traditionally animated characters inside then expensive computer-generated backgrounds. A few minutes after the meeting, Lasseter received a phone call from Hansen and was asked to come down to his office, where Lasseter was told that he was dismissed. The development was then transferred to the new Hyperion Pictures, the creation of former Disney employees Wilhite and executive producer [[Willard Carroll]], who took the production along with them.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> + +With Disney backing the project, ''Toaster'' soon turned into an independent effort; the electronics company [[TDK]] and video distributor [[CBS-Fox]] soon joined in. In 1986, Hyperion began to work on the story and characters, with Taiwan's [[Wang Film Productions]] for the overseas unit.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> The cost was reduced to $2.3 million as production began. [[Jerry Rees]], a crew member on two previous Disney films, ''[[The Fox and the Hound (film)|The Fox and the Hound]]'' and ''[[Tron]]'', and a friend of Lasseter, was chosen to direct the film, and was also a writer on the screenplay along with [[Joe Ranft]]. Rees' inspiration for voice casting came from the [[Groundlings]] improvisational group, some of whose members ([[Jon Lovitz]], [[Phil Hartman]], [[Timothy Stack]], and [[Mindy Sterling]]) voiced characters in the film. At the time, Lovitz and Hartman were stars of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. The color stylist was veteran Disney animator Ken O'Connor, a member of Disney's [[Walt Disney Feature Animation|feature animation department]] from its establishment.<ref name=beck>Beck (2005), pp. 40-41.</ref> + +==Music== +{{Infobox album <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums --> +| Name = The Brave Little Toaster: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack +| Type = Soundtrack +| Artist = [[David Newman (composer)|David Newman]] and [[Van Dyke Parks]] +| Cover = +| Released = July 12, 2005 +| Recorded = 1986-87 +| Genre = Soundtrack +| Length = +| Label = Percepto +| Producer = +| Reviews = +}} +The film score of ''The Brave Little Toaster'' was composed and conducted by [[David Newman (composer)|David Newman]] and performed by the [[New Japan Philharmonic]]. The film contains four original songs ("City of Lights", "It's a 'B' Movie", "Cutting Edge", and "Worthless") that were written by [[Van Dyke Parks]]. Newman's score for this movie was one of his earlier works and apparently one that he felt very close to. He did not view it as a cheerful one, and decided to give the film a dramatic score to reinforce the serious nature of many of the film's themes.

Distributed by [[Walt Disney Pictures]], ''Toy Story'' was the first feature-length [[Computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] film and the first film produced by Pixar. ''Toy Story'' follows a group of [[anthropomorphic]] [[toys]] who pretend to be lifeless whenever humans are present, and focuses on the relationship between [[Woody (Toy Story)|Woody]], a [[pullstring]] [[cowboy]] [[doll]] ([[Tom Hanks]]), and [[Buzz Lightyear]], an [[astronaut]] [[action figure]] ([[Tim Allen]]). The film was written by John Lasseter, [[Andrew Stanton]], [[Joel Cohen (writer)|Joel Cohen]], [[Alec Sokolow]], and [[Joss Whedon]], and featured music by [[Randy Newman]]. Its executive producer was [[Steve Jobs]] with [[Edwin Catmull]]. + +Pixar, who had been producing short animated films to promote their computers, was approached by Disney to produce a computer-animated feature after the success of the short ''[[Tin Toy]]'' (1988), which is told from the perspective of a toy. Lasseter, Stanton, and [[Pete Docter]] wrote early story treatments which were thrown out by Disney, who pushed for a more edgy film. After disastrous story reels, production was halted and the script was re-written, better reflecting the tone and theme Pixar desired: that "toys deeply want children to play with them, and that this desire drives their hopes, fears, and actions."<ref name="PixarTouch05"/> The studio, then consisting of a relatively small number of employees, produced the film under minor financial constraints.<ref name=ew7/><ref name="Isaacson208"/> + +The top-grossing film on its opening weekend,<ref name="numbers">{{cite web|url=http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/1995/0TYST.php|title=Toy Story|work=The Numbers|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref> ''Toy Story'' went on to earn over $361&nbsp;million worldwide.<ref name="BOXMOJO">{{cite web|url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=toystory.htm|title=Toy Story|work=[[Box Office Mojo]]|accessdate=February&nbsp;18, 2010}}</ref> Reviews were highly positive, praising both the animation's technical innovation and the screenplay's wit and sophistication,<ref name="metacritic">{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/toy-story|title=Toy Story Reviews|work=[[Metacritic]]|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref><ref name="RotTom">{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/toy_story/|title=Toy Story (1995)|work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|accessdate=March 11, 2009}}</ref> and it is now widely considered by many critics to be one of the [[List of films considered the best|best animated films ever made]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/650/650717p4.html |title=Top 25 Animated Movies of All-Time – Movies Feature at IGN |publisher=Movies.ign.com |date=June 18, 2011 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Posted Jun 2 2008 4:25&nbsp;pm |url=http://blog.moviefone.com/2008/06/02/feature-page-5-1_m_f/ |title=Best Animated Movies (5–1) – The Moviefone Blog |publisher=Blog.moviefone.com |date=June 2, 2008 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/best_animated_films/toy_story/ |title=Best Animated Films – Toy Story |publisher=Rotten Tomatoes |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.afi.com/10top10/category.aspx?cat=1 |title=10 Top 10 |publisher=AFI |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/terry-gilliams-top-50-animated-movies-of-all-time/ |title=Time Out’s Top 50 Animated Movies of All Time Curated by Terry Gilliam &#124; /Film |publisher=Slashfilm.com |date=October 7, 2009 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://themovieblog.com/2008/10/the-movie-blogs-10-best-animated-films-of-all-time |title=The Movie Blog’s 10 Best Animated Films Of All Time |publisher=The Movie Blog |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Corliss |first=Richard |url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2079149_2079152_2079169,00.html |title=Toy Story, 1995 – The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films |work=TIME |date=June 23, 2011 |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref> In addition to home media releases and theatrical re-releases, ''Toy Story''-inspired material has run the gamut from toys, video games, theme park attractions, spin-offs, merchandise, and two sequels—''[[Toy Story 2]]'' (1999) and ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' (2010)—both of which received massive commercial success and critical acclaim.

With his family moving homes one week before his birthday, Andy is given a week early party to spend with his friends. The toys stage a [[reconnaissance mission]] to discover Andy's new presents. Andy receives a space ranger [[Buzz Lightyear]] ([[Tim Allen]]) [[action figure]], whose impressive features see him replacing Woody as Andy's favorite toy. Woody is resentful, especially as Buzz also gets attention from the other toys. However Buzz believes himself to be a real space ranger on a mission to return to his home planet, as Woody fails to convince him he is a toy. + +Andy prepares for a family outing at the space themed [[Pizza Planet]] restaurant with Buzz. Woody attempts to be picked by misplacing Buzz. He intends to trap Buzz in a gap behind Andy's desk, but the plan goes disastrously wrong when he accidentally knocks Buzz out the window, resulting in him being accused of murdering Buzz out of jealousy. With Buzz missing, Andy takes Woody to Pizza Planet, but Buzz climbs into the car and confronts Woody when they stop at a gas station. The two fight and fall out of the car, which drives off and leaves them behind. Woody spots a truck bound for Pizza Planet and plans to rendezvous with Andy there, convincing Buzz to come with him by telling him it will take him to his home planet. Once at Pizza Planet, Buzz makes his way into a [[claw game]] machine shaped like a spaceship, thinking it to be the ship Woody promised him. Inside, he finds squeaky aliens who revere the claw arm as their master. When Woody clambers into the machine to rescue Buzz, the aliens force the two towards the claw and they are captured by Andy’s neighbor [[Sid (Toy Story)|Sid Phillips]] ([[Erik Von Detten]]), who finds amusement in torturing and destroying toys. + +At Sid's house, the two attempt to escape before Andy's moving day, encountering Sid’s nightmarish toy creations and his vicious dog, Scud ([[Frank Welker]]). Buzz sees a commercial for Buzz Lightyear action figures and realizes that he really is a toy. Attempting to fly to test this, Buzz falls and loses one of his arms, going into depression and unable to cooperate with Woody. Woody waves Buzz’s arm from a window to seek help from the toys in Andy’s room, but they are horrified thinking Woody attacked him, while Woody realizes Sid's toys are friendly when they reconnect Buzz's arm. Sid prepares to destroy Buzz by strapping him to a [[fireworks|rocket]], but is delayed that evening by a [[thunderstorm]]. Woody convinces Buzz that life is worth living because of the joy he can bring to Andy, which helps Buzz regain his spirit. Cooperating with Sid's toys, Woody rescues Buzz and scares Sid away by coming to life in front of him, warning him to never torture toys again. Woody and Buzz then wave goodbye to the mutant toys and return home through a fence, but miss Andy’s car as it drives away to his new house. + +Down the road, they climb onto the moving truck containing Andy’s other toys, but Scud chases them, bites down on Woody's leg and tries to pull him off. Buzz tackles the dog to save Woody. Woody attempts to rescue Buzz with Andy's [[radio-controlled car|RC car]] but the other toys, who think Woody now got rid of RC, attack Woody and toss him off onto the road. Spotting Woody driving RC back with Buzz alive, the other toys realize their mistake and try to help. When RC's batteries become depleted, Woody ignites the rocket on Buzz's back and manages to throw RC into the moving truck before they soar into the air. Buzz opens his wings to cut himself free before the rocket explodes, gliding with Woody to land safely into a box in Andy’s car. Andy looks into it and is elated to have found his two missing toys. + +On [[Christmas Day]] at their new house, Buzz and Woody stage another reconnaissance mission to prepare for the new toy arrivals, one of which is a [[Mrs. Potato Head]], much to the delight of [[Mr. Potato Head (Toy Story)|Mr. Potato Head]] ([[Don Rickles]]).

Every leaf and blade of grass had to be created. We had to give the world a sense of history.

The art department gave a shot its color scheme and general lighting.<ref name="PixarTouch16">Price, p. 134</ref> The layout department, under Craig Good, then placed the models in the shot, framed the shot by setting the location of the virtual camera, and programmed any camera moves. To make the medium feel as familiar as possible, they sought to stay within the limits of what might be done in a live-action film with real cameras, dollies, tripods and cranes.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> From layout, a shot went to the animation department, headed by directing animators Rich Quade and [[Ash Brannon]]. Lasseter opted against Disney's approach of assigning an animator to work on a character throughout a film, but made certain exceptions in scenes where he felt acting was particularly critical.<ref name="PixarTouch16"/> The animators used the Menv program to set the character into a desired pose. Once a sequence of hand-built poses, or "[[keyframe]]s", was created, the software would build the poses from the frames in-between.<ref name="PixarTouch17">Price, p. 135</ref> The animators studied videotapes of the actors for inspiration, and Lasseter rejected automatic lip-syncing.<ref name="PixarTouch17"/> To sync the characters' mouths and facial expressions to the actors' voices, animators spent a week per 8 seconds of animation.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/> + +After this the animators would compile the scenes, and develop a new storyboard with the computer animated characters. Animators then added shading, lighting, visual effects, and finally used 300 computer processors to render the film to its final design.<ref name="WiredMakingof"/><ref name="HenneMakingOf"/> The shading team, under Tom Porter, used RenderMan's shader language to create shader programs for each of a model's surfaces. A few surfaces in ''Toy Story'' came from real objects: a shader for the curtain fabric in Andy's room used a scan of actual cloth.<ref name="PixarTouch18">Price, p. 136</ref> After animation and shading, the final lighting of the shot was orchestrated by the lighting team, under Galyn Susman and Sharon Calahan. The completed shot then went into rendering on a "render farm" of 117 [[Sun Microsystems]] computers that ran 24 hours a day.<ref name="PixarTouch19"/> Finished animation emerged in a steady drip of around three minutes a week.<ref name="PixarTouch20">Price, p. 138</ref> Each frame took from 45 minutes up to 30 hours to render, depending on its complexity.

''Toy Story'' was rendered at a mere 1,536 by 922 pixels, with each pixel corresponding to roughly a quarter inch of screen area on a typical cinema screen.<ref name="PixarTouch19">Price, p. 137</ref> During post-production, the film was sent to [[Skywalker Sound]] where sound effects were mixed with the music score.<ref name="HenneMakingOf"/> + +===Music=== +Disney was concerned with Lasseter's position on the use of music. Unlike other Disney films of the time, Lasseter did not want the film to be a musical, saying it was a [[buddy film]] featuring "real toys." [[Joss Whedon]] agreed saying, "It would have been a really bad musical, because it's a buddy movie. It's about people who won't admit what they want, much less sing about it. ... Buddy movies are about sublimating, punching an arm, 'I hate you.' It's not about open emotion."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> However, Disney favored the musical format, claiming "Musicals are our orientation. Characters breaking into song is a great shorthand. It takes some of the onus off what they're asking for."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Disney and Pixar reached a compromise: the characters in ''Toy Story'' would not break into song, but the film would use songs over the action, as in ''The Graduate'', to convey and amplify the emotions that Buzz and Woody were feeling.<ref name="PixarTouch11"/> Disney tapped [[Randy Newman]] to compose the film. The edited ''Toy Story'' was due to Randy Newman and Gary Rydstrom in late September 1995 for their final work on the score and sound design, respectively.<ref name="PixarTouch22">Price, p. 149</ref> + +Lasseter claimed "His songs are touching, witty, and satirical, and he would deliver the emotional underpinning for every scene."<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> Newman developed the film's signature song "[[You've Got a Friend in Me]]" in one day<ref name="EWToyWonder"/> although the tune is closely based on his own song, "I Love to See You Smile" from the soundtrack to the 1989 film, ''[[Parenthood (film)|Parenthood]]''. + +===Editing and pre-release=== +It was difficult for crew members to perceive the film's quality during much of the production process, when the finished footage was in scattered pieces and lacked elements like music and sound design.<ref name="PixarTouch20"/> Some animators felt the film would be a significant disappointment commercially, but felt animators and animation fans would find it interesting.<ref name="PixarTouch20"/> According to [[Lee Unkrich]], one of the original [[film editor|editors]] of ''Toy Story'', a scene was cut out of the original final edit. The scene features Sid, after Pizza Planet, torturing Buzz and Woody violently. Unkrich decided to cut right into the scene where Sid is interrogating the toys because the creators of the movie thought the audience would be loving Buzz and Woody at that point.<ref name = "Deleted Scenes">{{cite DVD-notes|title = Toy Story Deleted Scenes (Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition)|director = John Lasseter|publisher = [[Disney]]|year = 2005}}</ref> Another scene, where Woody was trying to get Buzz's attention when he was stuck in the box crate, was shortened because the creators felt it would lose the energy of the movie.<ref name = "Deleted Scenes"/> Peter Schneider had grown buoyant about the film as it neared completion, and announced a United States release date of November, coinciding with Thanksgiving weekend and the start of the winter holiday season.<ref name="PixarTouch21"/> + +Sources indicate that executive producer Steve Jobs lacked confidence in the film during its production, and he had been talking to various companies, ranging from Hallmark to Microsoft, about selling Pixar.<ref name="Isaacson208"/><ref name="PixarTouch21">Price, p. 139-142</ref> However, as the film progressed, Jobs became ever more excited about it, feeling that he might be on the verge of transforming the movie industry.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> As scenes from the movie were finished, he watched them repeatedly and had friends come by his home to share his new passion. Jobs decided that the release of ''Toy Story'' that November would be the occasion to take Pixar public.<ref name="Isaacson208"/> A test audience near Anaheim in late July 1995 indicated the need for last-minute tweaks, which added further pressure to the already frenetic final weeks. Response cards from the audience were encouraging, but were not top of the scale, adding further question as to how audiences would respond.<ref name="PixarTouch22"/> The film ended with a shot of Andy's house and the sound of a new puppy.

Both films were produced at the same time and this one was released first. + +==Plot== +Rob and Chris have a baby boy named Robbie. At first the appliances all think that they will pay more attention to him but later get used to him ("''I See a New You''"). Later, the Hearing Aid, who was left in a drawer in their new house from the [[Albert Einstein|past owner]] gets out of the drawer and passes everyone who is asleep. Toaster then sees him and follows him up to the attic. Toaster gets very suspicious about him when he was talking to someone in space. + +The next morning, Toaster tells what happened last night then they all agree to stay on watch of the drawer till he comes out. Later, when it is midnight, everyone falls asleep just when Hearing Aid escapes from the drawer. The "little master", as they call baby Robbie, awakes to the sound and gets out of his crib and follows Hearing Aid. The appliances awake and find Robbie going up the stairs. Lampy tries to get him down, but is dragged up the stairs and his plug slips out and falls down the stairs. The appliances appear in the room when a big beam of light appears. The appliances chase after Hearing Aid, but then Robbie disappears in a bubble through space. And after that, they all find out that he was sent to [[Mars]]. + +They get Wittgenstein, the old [[supercomputer]], to help them and gives them advice. They get the microwave and cheddar cheese popcorn to help them fly, as it is organic, a laundry basket, and the ceiling fan. They set off in space to go to Mars and find Robbie. During their flight, a pack of balloons appear who fly endlessly in space from hands who let them go ("''Floating''"). The appliances crash on Mars and find the baby. They meet a [[Christmas angel]] named Tinselina who was sent to mars with [[Viking 1]]. The appliances follow a group of military toasters who had just arrived to their leader Supreme Commander who is a huge refrigerator. They then learn that they are going to blow Earth up because their old owners threw them out, and Toaster tries to talk them out of it. In between the fight, Robbie is able to push a hand out of his bubble. His hand touches Supreme Commander, and the refrigerator suddenly begins to turn pink. He smiles at the child, before returning his original color. + +Toaster ends up between an election with Supreme Commander ("''Humans''"). After a while, Toaster wins the election and is the new Supreme Commander. The appliances go into the freezer of Supreme Commander and find the brother of Hearing Aid, who he hasn't seen in sixty years. When asked by Toaster why Surpreme Commander changed his mind about blowing up Earth, he says "the touch of the small boy's hand" reminded him that not all humans are bad. They are all about to return to earth when suddenly Hearing Aid's brother forgets to deactivate the rocket. The missile counts down. Toaster jumps off with Hearing Aid's brother and destroys the rocket. Toaster is almost left on Mars, but the others come back for him. After Toaster is on board, Tinselina gives up her clothes so they can have something organic to get back to earth. + +The appliances happily ride back to Earth ("''Home Again''"). The appliances return to Earth just in time as the [[baby monitor]] that Ratso, their pet rat, had been restraining all night, finally wakes Rob and Christine up. One day when they are taping Robbie, Rob finds Tinselina in a garbage can and fixes her up. It is a happy ending with Robbie's first word is "Toaster!" and Tinselina's first time on a Christmas tree.

Though it was released after ''[[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'', it is actually the second film in chronological order. A production of [[Hyperion Pictures|Hyperion]]/[[The Kushner-Locke Company|Kushner-Locke]], it was originally released in 1999 in [[North America]] by [[Walt Disney Home Video]].

One night, while working on a [[thesis]], his computer crashes thanks to a terrible [[computer virus]] from Wittgenstein, an old TLW-728 [[supercomputer]]. The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending, to a place called "Tartaras Laboratories", the same place that Sebastian, an old monkey Rob is tending to, was sent to when he was just a [[baby]]. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement. The miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, named the "WFC 11-12-55". The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death. + +In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to the college's storage building to find the hard-to-find WFC 11-12-55 tube. When they come back with the last apparent tube for miles, however, Radio and Ratso (after an argument with the tube) accidentally breaks it, and it seems that all hope is lost. Wittgenstein does his best with all his might, but he blows his remaining tube with a big explosion and apparently "[[death|is a goner]]". Ratso then blames Radio, which causes Radio himself to give up his own tube which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving himself as a lifeless appliance. Apparently, knowing that they were given a final chance to save the animals, the appliances replaced the tube in the nick of time; with the boosted power of the new tube, Wittgenstein wakes up, miraculously regenerates the other smashed tubes connected to himself and is completely revived to as good as new. By the end of the film, the appliances restore Rob's thesis and stop Mack from selling the injured animals, Radio's tube is replaced with a new one (hence his revival), Rob proposes to his girlfriend Chris, and all is well. + +==Notes== +Although this is third and final movie released, it appears to be the second in plot sequence. This is indicated in '' [[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars]]'' by the fact that the group is already familiar with Wittgenstein the supercomputer, and by the fact that he is referred to as "our old college buddy." Also, Rob proposes to his girlfriend in this movie, while in the second movie the two are married with a baby. This is because both the films were in production at the time, and ''Goes To Mars'' just happened to be finished first. + +==Reception== +The movie got mixed reviews but most fans say it's more enjoyable than ''The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars''. + +==Animal Characters== +*Sebastian - [[Monkey]] +*Maisie - [[Cat]] +*Ratso - [[Rat]] +*Murgatroid - [[Snake]] +*Alberto - [[Chihuahua (dog)|Chihuahua]] + +==External links== +*{{IMDb title|0163986}} +*{{Amg movie|179411}} +*{{rotten-tomatoes|brave_little_toaster_to_the_rescue}} +*{{bcdb title|20644}} + +{{DEFAULTSORT:Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue}} +[[Category:1999 films]] +[[Category:American animated films]] +[[Category:Children's films]] +[[Category:Direct-to-video films]] +[[Category:Films distributed by Disney]] +[[Category:Films featuring anthropomorphic characters]] +[[Category:Sequel films]] + +[[es:The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue]] +[[fr:Le Petit Grille-pain courageux : À la rescousse]] +[[pl:Dzielny mały Toster ratuje przyjaciół]] '

A. Milne]]'s book ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]].'' Like other [[Pooh]] characters, Tigger is based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals. Nowadays he is most widely recognized as reinterpreted by the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] studios, with distinctive orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, springy tail, and (the one detail originating from A. A. Milne) his love of bouncing. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best." ', 29 => '==In literature==', 30 => '[[File:The original Winnie the Pooh toys.jpg|thumb|right|The real stuffed toys owned by Christopher Robin and featured in the ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' stories. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear (aka Winnie-the-Pooh), Eeyore, and Piglet. They are on display in the [[Donnell Library Center]] in [[New York City]].]] Tigger is introduced in Chapter II of ''House at Pooh Corner'', when he shows up on [[Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie-the-Pooh's]] doorstep in the middle of the night, announcing himself with a big bounce. Most of the rest of that chapter is taken up with the characters' search for a food that Tigger can eat for breakfast - despite Tigger's claims to like "everything", it is quickly proven he does not like [[honey]], [[acorns]], [[thistles]], or most of the contents of [[Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga's]] larder. In a happy coincidence, however, he discovers what Tiggers ''really'' like best is [[extract of malt]], which Kanga has on hand because she gives it to her baby, [[Roo]], as "strengthening medicine".', 31 => 'From that point on, Tigger lives with Kanga and Roo in their house in the northeastern part of the [[Hundred Acre Wood]] near the Sandy Pit. He becomes great friends with Roo (to whom he becomes a sort of older sibling figure), and Kanga treats him in much the same way she does her own son. Tigger also interacts enthusiastically with all the other characters — sometimes too enthusiastically for the likes of [[Rabbit (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Rabbit]], who is sometimes exasperated by Tigger's constant bouncing, [[Eeyore]], who is once bounced into the river by Tigger, and [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet]], who always seems a little nervous about the new, large, bouncy animal in the Forest. Nonetheless, the animals are all shown to be friends.', 32 => 'In addition to chapter II, Tigger also appears in chapters IV, VI, VII, and X of ''The House at Pooh Corner'', and is mentioned in several others. He is the only new major character to be introduced in ''The House at Pooh Corner''; all of the others had been established in the earlier [[Winnie-the-Pooh (book)|Winnie-the-Pooh book]].', 33 => '===Depictions===', 34 => 'In [[Ernest H. Shepard]]'s illustrations, Tigger appears to walk (or more often, bounce) on four feet as opposed to two. He is, however, capable of holding a pen with one of his front paws. Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as "large", he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations. Pooh states once "He always seems bigger because of his bounces", implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is.', 35 => '===Personality traits===', 36 => 'That assessment fits well with Tigger's personality and his assessment of his own abilities, which he always overestimates. He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and has complete confidence in himself. Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do include flying, jumping farther than a [[kangaroo]], swimming, and climbing trees. He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree. He only succeeds half-way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again. Tigger also says Tiggers "never get lost"; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true - he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him.', 37 => 'Like most of the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger was based on one of [[Christopher Robin Milne]]'s stuffed animals, in this case a stuffed-toy tiger. However, the word "tiger" is never actually used in the book. The term "Tigger" is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal. No other "Tiggers" appear in the story, and at one point Tigger (who has just seen his reflection in a [[mirror]] and mistaken it for another individual) comments he thought he was the only one. Despite that belief, he constantly uses the term in the plural, as in "Tiggers don't like honey." and "So ''that's'' what Tiggers like!", etc. The term is always capitalized.', 38 => '==In film==', 39 => '[[File:The Tigger Movie film.jpg|frame|200px|right|''[[The Tigger Movie]]'', a film based on the Disney adaptation of Tigger.]]', 40 => 'Tigger also appears in the Disney cartoon versions of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, beginning with ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'' in 1968. He has even starred in his own film, ''[[The Tigger Movie]]'' ([[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], 2000), along with his friends from the [[Hundred Acre Wood]].', 41 => 'Tigger was originally voiced by [[Paul Winchell]]. Since 1990, he has been voiced by [[Jim Cummings]] (who is also the voice of Pooh), with the exception of ''[[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]]'' (1997), ''[[A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving]]'' (1998), and ''[[Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine For You]]'' (1999), in which Winchell reprised the role of Tigger. On some albums and read-along cassettes in the early 1990s, [[Ed Gilbert]] voiced Tigger. Also, [[Will Ryan]] voiced Tigger in the [[Disney Channel]] program ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]''.', 42 => 'In the movies, Tigger sings his own theme song, "[[The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers]]", written by the [[Sherman Brothers]]. According to the song, Tigger is "the only one" &mdash; a fact that leads to his search for his family in ''[[The Tigger Movie]]''.', 43 => 'In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' and subsequent cartoons, Tigger lives in a large treehouse. A tire swing hangs prominently from a branch of the tree. In [[The Tigger Movie]], Tigger builds a makeshift addition (gluing the shingles on with honey) in anticipation of a hoped-for visit by members of his family. This "family room" is eventually relocated to serve as a replacement for Eeyore's collapse-prone house of sticks.', 44 => 'The Disney version of Tigger was featured in both the TV special ''[[Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue]]'' and the TV series ''[[House of Mouse]]''.', 45 => '===Personality traits===', 46 => 'Tigger's personality in the cartoons is much like his personality in the book. He is very confident and has quite an ego, he often thinks of himself as being handsome, and some of his other comments suggest he has a high opinion of himself. Tigger is always filled with great energy and optimism, and though always well-meaning, he can also be mischievous, and his actions have sometimes led to chaos and trouble for himself and his friends. Also, he often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realize they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. As in the books, Tigger never refers to himself as a tiger, but as a "Tigger". When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name is: "T-I-'Double-/G/'-Er (T-i-gg-er), which spells 'Tigger'".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4624547.stm |title=Disney's Tigger voice dies at 82 |accessdate=2008-10-06 |last= |first= |coauthors= |work= |publisher=BBC News | date=2005-06-26 | location=London}}</ref>', 47 => 'Another of Tigger's notable personality traits is his habit of mispronouncing various words, or stressing wrong syllables in them (which is what Tiggers do best, which is why he's only one remaining). Examples of this include him pronouncing "villain" as "villian"; "ridiculous" as "ridickerous"; "recognize" as "recoganize"; and "suspicious" as "suspicerous".', 48 => 'A declaration often made, is that ''"Tiggers are wonderful things. Their heads are made of rubber, their tails are made of springs."'' In cartoon, he is often depicted bouncing around in ways which would make such a statement appear to be valid.', 49 => 'In ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', Tigger is often well-meaning but usually does more harm than good. In one episode, he invented a [[bulldozer]]-like contraption intended to provide convenience for Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit, but the invention proved to have disastrous results, and Rabbit insisted that Tigger shut it down; however, in the winter, a depressed Tigger accidentally started the machine up, and it proved to be useful by [[snowplow|plowing snow]] around Piglet's house before malfunctioning. On another occasion, Tigger attempted to mimic a superhero, "The Masked Offender," bringing mayhem to the Hundred-Acre Wood. In response, Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl (unaware that the Masked Offender was actually Tigger) staged a [[hoax]] in which they made an [[inanimate]] monster from a sticky glue-like material. The plan worked, revealing Tigger as the Masked Offender, but the fake monster (which was on wheels) turned on its makers, ultimately resulting in Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl hanging by the glue from a rickety bridge. Subsequently, Tigger resumed his role as the Masked Offender, and saved his friends.', 50 => 'It is also shown that Tigger will jump in to help without thinking about the danger to himself. On at least three occasions, he has nearly fallen off a cliff, and ''has'' fallen two of those times, to retrieve something important (Half of the map in [[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]], his locket in [[The Tigger Movie]], and a page of [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet's]] scrapbook in [[Piglet's Big Movie]]).', 51 => 'Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October 1928, the year ''The House at Pooh Corner'' was first published. However, on Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birthyear as 1968, a reference to the first year Tigger appeared in a Disney production, ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]''.', 52 => 'Disney's Tigger is also remembered for his song ''The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers'' when he made his first appearance. However, he was not included in the Winnie the Pooh theme song until [[Winnie the Pooh (film)|the 2011 film]].', 53 => '==In popular culture==', 54 => '* Tigger has appeared in the ''[[Mad (TV series)|Mad]]'' episode "Pooh Grit" (a parody of ''[[True Grit (2010 film)|True Grit]]''), where Christopher Robin hires Marshall Pooh to capture Tigger after he bounced his father. He was voiced by [[Fred Tatasciore]]. Then in the next episode "Fast Hive" (a parody of ''[[Fast Five]]''), Tigger was part of Pooh's team to get honey. He and Piglet fly out of the book and end up in ''[[The Very Hungry Caterpillar]]'', where the caterpillar gives them some honey. In this episode, he was voiced by [[Kevin Shinick]].', 55 => '* In [[Randy Pausch]]'s [[Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams|The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams]], he asks whether one should live their life as a Tigger or as an Eeyore.

The book ''Katie and Orbie Pick Up the Garbage'', one of the books on which the series is based, implies that he was sent away from his home planet because it was too polluted to sustain life, and the destiny of his native family or his species is unknown. While travelling in a small spaceship, he reached Earth and just happened to land in Katie's backyard, and immediately he and Katie became best friends, resulting in him being "adopted" by Katie's parents.

The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending, to a place called "Tartaras Laboratories", the same place that Sebastian, an old monkey Rob is tending to, was sent to when he was just a [[baby]]. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement.

Ratso then blames Radio, which causes Radio himself to give up his own tube which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving himself as a lifeless appliance. Apparently, knowing that they were given a final chance to save the animals, the appliances replaced the tube in the nick of time; with the boosted power of the new tube, Wittgenstein wakes up, miraculously regenerates the other smashed tubes connected to himself and is completely revived to as good as new. By the end of the film, the appliances restore Rob's thesis and stop Mack from selling the injured animals, Radio's tube is replaced with a new one (hence his revival), Rob proposes to his girlfriend Chris, and all is well.', 995 => false, 996 => '==Notes==', 997 => 'Although this is third and final movie released, it appears to be the second in plot sequence.
