It’s not up to the same tier as the original film but it certainly makes more logistical sense than Goes To Mars does and it doesn’t completely pander down to its’ audience and insult the intelligence of the kids like Goes To Mars kind of does. I was pleasantly surprised at how To The Rescue actually holds up. And while I wasn’t a fan of Goes To Mars, which is a watered down sequel compared to the first movie, I will give To The Rescue credit for being the better sequel in terms of telling an engaging and surprisingly effective story. So, yeah, needless to say, my first time seeing this movie left me confused with how the story played out but okay, it’s been over 20 years later and now, I have the chance to see this trilogy in the way it was meant to be seen originally. Like I said, here in America, this was released by Disney a year after Goes To Mars, and as a 10 year old as this was coming out, it was hard for me not to be confused by the continuity of this film because the baby from Goes To Mars is not in this movie as Chris and Rob aren’t even a married couple yet, it’s not until the end of the film that the two get hitched and you can even tell by the fact that the rat character, Ratso, acts completely different than he does in Goes To Mars starting off as kind of a jerk before slowly but surely coming around to the rest of the appliances by the end of the film, so yeah, this definitely does not feel like an actual followup to Goes To Mars nor does it feel like a wrapup to the series itself. The Brave Little Toaster and friends must rescue the animals at a veterinary hospital from being sent to a testing laboratory.
The film (along with Goes to Mars) is available for purchase and rental on the iTunes Store, but the first film has yet to be released on iTunes. It was also released the same year in the United Kingdom and premiered on TV on the ITV network. A production of Hyperion Animation and The Kushner-Locke Company in the United States, it was released in 1997 in the United Kingdom by Walt Disney Home Video and 1999 in the United States. Despite being released after The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, it is actually the second film in chronological order.
The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, also known as The Brave Little Toaster Goes to School, is a 1997 American direct-to-video sequel to The Brave Little Toaster. You’ve gotta love how this was advertised as the last of the Brave Little Toaster movies….and yet, it was supposed to be the direct sequel to the first movie.
