The appliances' "master," Rob, is now a college student, studying to become a veterinarian, and is now nearing the end of his final semester. While I think it's better than some fans of the original do, it didn't surprise me when I saw that it was another inferior sequel.

For that reason, I decided to watch this one first. Apparently, "The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue" was released after the other sequel, "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars", but takes place before it. After that, I intended to finally watch the two direct-to-video sequels. Just over a week ago, I watched the 1987 original again, for what I believe was my second viewing since the 90's. It came out the year after I was born, but the two sequels it spawned came out much later, in the late 90's, and I didn't even know about them until years later, when I found them on IMDb. Also, Kirby is depicted on the cart rather than pulling it."The Brave Little Toaster" was a film I saw many times in my childhood. In the actual film, he is not with them during that scene. On the box art, Radio is shown with the other appliances during the chase scene at the end.The film got mixed reviews, but most fans say it's more enjoyable than The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. This is because both films were in production at the same time, and Goes to Mars was the first to be released. And of course, Ratso is living with them. This is mentioned in The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars by the fact that the group already knows Wittgenstein, and by the fact that he is referred to as "our old college buddy." Also, Rob proposes to Chris in this film, while in the second one, they are married with a baby. Jim Cummings provides the singing voice of Sebastianĭespite being the third and final film released, it appears to be the second in plot sequence.By the end of the film, the appliances restore Rob's thesis and prevent Mack from selling the injured animals, Radio's tube is replaced with a new one (hence his revival) and all is well. Apparently 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 as good as new. He then sacrifices his own tube which actually turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving himself as a lifeless appliance. The appliances are then very grumpy at Radio, and he feels terrible. Wittgenstein does his best with all his might, but he blows his tube with a big explosion and apparently dies, powering down. When they come back with the last apparent tube for miles, Radio accidentally breaks the tube, and it seems that all hope is lost. In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to the college's storage building to find the difficult-to-find WFC 11-12-55 tube. The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death. Radio has that kind of tube, which possibly means he is a computer, too. The miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, named the "WFC 11-12-55". When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement. 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 old-skinned Sebastian (-an old monkey, that Rob's tending for-) with his hand when he was just a baby.

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. While working on a thesis the computer crashes, thanks to a bunch of terrible computer viruses infecting Wittgenstein, an old TLW-728 supercomputer. Rob McGroarty, the owner of the appliances, and whom they refer to as "the Master", is working in a laboratory where he tends to injured animals.
