[quote=Cinemablend]They did it to Scooby-Doo. They did it to Garfield. They did it to Alvin and the Chipmunks. They did it to Yogi Bear. They did it to The Smurfs. And now they're doing it to The Brave Little Toaster. Waterman Entertainment has purchased the rights to the kids movie and they're now planning to create a new CGI/live-action hybrid movie based on the property.
The Wrap says that while old movie, made back in 1987, centered around household objects like a toaster, a vacuum cleaner, a lamp and a blanket, the new version will contain more modern pieces of technology, such as an iPhone (no joke). The story, which was originally based on the children's book by Thomas M. Disch, is about a group of household appliances that travel a long distance to try and get back to their owner. Steve Waterman, who founded the company, has worked on a number of CGI/live-action hybrid movies, serving as an executive producer on the aforementioned Alvin and the Chipmunk movies and as a co-producer on both Stuart Little films.
Believe it or not, The Brave Little Toaster was actually a movie that had a significant impact on the history of Pixar. Not only was the original written by Joe Ranft, who went on to write Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Cars, a young John Lasseter, the founder of Pixar, tried to convince executives at Disney to make a film with traditionally animated characters featured on CGI backgrounds. Lasseter's idea was rejected for being too expensive and a few minutes after the meeting he was called down by an animation administrator who told him he had been fired. Honestly, I think Lasseter came out on the other side of things just fine. [/quote]

I haven't even seen the original but I can feel the burning from here
Well.
Now I know how the Air Conditioner felt.
thanks waterman everyone knows how amazing [B]your[/B] movies always turn out
Why would they do this? The Brave Little Toaster's perfect as it is.
Why does everyone insist on bringing back old and well known characters/movies/tv shows? I mean sometimes they work, but shit like this? It doesn't fucking work and always turns out to be a bloody fucking letdown.
NOOOOO
I fucking loved those movies

There are no words. Just... :suicide:
A talking Iphone? What next a talking Xbox?
The collective of a million childhoods combusting simultaneously made me almost shed a tear for anyone involved.
"Brave Little iPhone" isn't really that catchy.
Really the entire story falls apart when you set it in modern day.
I'm sorry I don't understand, would you like me to search the web?
[QUOTE=MisterZombie;37673016]"Brave Little iPhone" isn't really that catchy.[/QUOTE]I'm [i]really[/i] hoping that this iphone is in the group of "modernized" appliances that try to shame the original group into leaving the Master's new apartment with their technical superiority. Then just throw them out. Because they're douches.
The charm of the movie was the fact that the appliances were old, used up and sorta junk, if its a bunch of new fucking fad appliances like iphones it makes no sense.

Because being original is hard, and so is convincing Hollywood to fund it. Slapping a brand onto it, no matter how stupid is currently the way to go.
brave little toaster
there's a blast from the past, i loved that movie when i was a kid
Fuck off Waterman Entertainment.
That movie was so depressing when I saw it as a kid.
CGI would be great. Live action...

oh fuck
I recently rewatched this movie, was not disappointed. I don't think it will work, but can't stop em from trying.
Ow...
Right in the childhood.
My favorite childhood movie. And it's really dark. This sucks. Oh well, I'll just not watch it.
with music by skrillex
Why can't they do what Disney does to old animated classics and just remaster it?
CG kids movies usually suck outside of Pixar.
This is one of the best animated movie I've ever seen. I'm not as angry that it's about modern appliances as I am at the fact that it's CGI.
So it's just going to be a big iPhone Advert, yeah I think I'll pass on the idea of paying to be advertised to.
This is one of the few times I'm allowed to feel nostalgic and angry.
Never heard of this.
Welp, theres only one thing left for me to do. :suicide:
