Is the toast brave, too? Or is bravery not transferable that way?

YO so I found The Brave Little Toaster the other day on YouTube and have already watched it like seven times.

(I’m not going to link it here because it seems like every vid I link to gets taken down and WE’RE NOT HAVING THAT FOR THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER)

Mom, I know I traumatized you by watching this so many times when I was a kid, but it really is a good movie, haha. I get that “City of Light” song stuck in my head more often than I care to admit.

I had such a crush on that lamp when I was a kid, haha.

ANYWAY. Here’s said “City of Light” song so YOU can get it stuck in YOUR head, too!

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME

Why has this song suddenly emerged from my childhood memories and why has it been continuously playing through my head all day?

Lampy was always my favorite.

I love how this movie has such contrasting songs. We’ve got this innocent “life is magical journey, and at the end is the a wonderful city of possibilities!” and then later we get this, which is “Gilbert Gottfried in hanging lamp form gives a lesson on the horrors of existence,” then even later we get this, which is “everything is worthless, including you, forget your friends and family ‘cause they were lying to you about your importance.”

It’s like an analogy for one’s outlook on life as one grows up.

80’s kid’s movies, man.
