four or five year olds) may want to preview the movie beforehand, though. If your child is old enough to watch Bambi or the Lion King, he or she should have no problem with the Brave Little Toaster. I didn't get scared when I was watching this at the age of eight or nine. Yes, it's got some scenes which may scare some young kids, but plenty of other animated movies have scary scenes, too. 'Oh boy, did I love this movie when I was little! I must've wasted half my childhood watching this thing. While all movies have something we may not like (and books or toys for that matter), it's the overall values communicated not a single image (and your interpretation of it) that makes or breaks a child's video.The Brave Little Toaster doesn't have any hidden agendas and is perfect entertainment for little ones and adults can watch it with them to explain the story as it goes along if necessary.' The cliche about not being able to see the woods for the tree applies to children's movies as well. It isn't nasty or subversive and I find it doesn't effect the overall quality of this fine children's film. While the third film in the series (but second produced) The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars is very close in quality to the first film, the second film suffers from a lower budget and is missing the imaginative direction of the first film.As to the viewer who mentioned that there were images inappropriate for younger children-honestly, my kids can't operate the pause button and never noticed the 'image'. Additionally, the conflicts and some of the suspenseful situations mirror experiences that little ones have in their day to day experience.My only complaint is that the sequels produced aren't up to the high quality of the first film. The production design and use of colors will captivate your child's attention. This actually isn't a Disney production but an independent production company. 'Entertaining, suspenseful and with a good moral, The Brave Little Toaster works on many different levels for children.
