The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue (1997)

Far inferior to the original because in my opinion, it cheats. Yes, the characters return (if not all with their original voices), but in addition to speaking appliances, we have talking animals (the "master" is a veterinary school graduate student). We end up spending so much time with these critters, the appliances get robbed of their screen time. The film is a hoot however because it presents the world of computers and the Internet as it was understood in 1997. I don't think kids today will know what to make of the talking equipment presented, that's for sure. The Internet in this movie is something to be sold to the audience, a magical medium that can do almost anything, and worth singing songs about. It's really crazy. That's where it wins a place on my shelf, as a capsule of a simpler time, but the story itself is fairly ordinary. They did keep some dark elements in it, which is good of them 8 years 10 months ago
