This carved my soul when I was a child. But that said, I think for some reason it made me love deeper in my older age. I've always believed things like this can have an impression on someone if shown to them at an early age.
I remember seeing this movie when I was about 11 and the only thing I could recall about it was this scene... because it upset me so much. As an 11 year old I was left slack-jawed, feeling like I'd been punched in the stomach. As a 34 year old, it makes me cry. I don't know why the filmmakers saw fit to put this scene in the film, but it truly is heartbreaking.
I never really understood this scene when I saw it as a child but when I watch it now it brings tears to my eyes. Just to think that poor isolated flower on its own, thinking it had seen a friend only to be abandoned and it was enough for him to die heartbroken :'( such a powerful scene and I agree, kids films these days will never live up to classics like this great film.
@xxxRobsterxxx yeah, although some kids films have come close, like toy story 3 and up, which dealt with companionship (the hole idea of Andy going to collage and the toys going to be destroyed or sent away because of this action) and death (In up when we see the main character Carl go through his entire life with his wife in the ups and downs of marriage, the scene relatively stays happy but then at the end its just heart breaking).
@xxxRobsterxxx So yes you are partely right that not so many kids films deal with issues as we see in this touching scene from the brave little toaster, but there are the odd few that do.
@Oppurtunafish That's what I was thinking when I watched it! It has nothing to do with the plot at all. It's just really depressing for no reason. At least the car scene and AC's death had purpose. What made this even worse was Toaster knew he hurt the flower but does nothing about it. He sees her dying of a broken heart and he leaves her there even though it's his fault she's wilting.
@RARunner91 - I'm having a hard time finding it again. I'm not sure if it's lost in the comments or it's gone because he closed his account. It's similar to other comments, like one by Budaphly about it being an illistration of love and loss.
@RARunner91 From what I recall with Sam's comment, (unless it was from someone else)after hurting Blanky, this scene comes in which the flower dies as a result of unrequited love. This brings up Lampy wondering Toaster's change of heart and action when they set up camp for the night. The scene is referenced again after the waterfall scene, where Toaster sits alone at the swamp in a ray of light.
I hardly remember this movie (was reminded by a picture) so I went to look up some clips. Found this one... and BAWLED. Damn this is a heavy scene. I need to rewatch the entire film now, but first... *digs up plant* ;__________; I'M TAKING YOU HOME, BBY.
I grew up on this as a kid, though I never got how much of a tear jerker this scene was until watching it now x.x Weird how cartoons make more sense when you watch them as an adult..
@ThePacificSam Sam, you just gave me the answer to the question I've been asking for 23 years! This makes so much sense and I'm glad you finally explained. No, I'm not being sarcastic. I am genuinely serious. I loved the talk Lampy and Toaster have about why he's being nicer to Blanky and it does follow this scene. Thanks, dude!
I never understood this scene as a child,but it always made me sad. Looking at it again, it's one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a kids movie; which reminds me why I loved this movie so much then;and why I still love it now.
How the hell did I forget this scene? Its so real and heart breaking. It definitely shows how good of an animator you are if you can make millions of people cry over a single flower.
This is what makes this film so important, it shows that life isn't fun and games, it shows that life is full of sadness and sacrifice, and if you make the right decisions you will have a happy ending, this film really depressed me as a kid, but it showed me that we only play this game once. I love this film so much.
I think the reason this movie is so dark for a childrens' film (or any film for that matter) is because the author of the novel this movie was based off of had some serious psychological issues. He ended up committing suicide. I think that is more heartbreaking than any scene in this movie.
The author of THE book didn't commit suicide until like 20 years later. And his suicide came from depression that came in 2008 after his life partner died.
You know, what we watch has a big impact on what we will be like in the future, and I think these things helped me to become who I am, even though I don't remember all of the scenes in this movie I know it had an impact, and I must say I am proud of who I am and wish more kids could watch movies like this.
Wow this is unneccisarly dark. Come to think of it, this childrens movie must have more deaths than a couple of horrors even. Think about it. The air Conditioner, the flower, to be torn apart apliances, and of course all the cars in the junkyard.
I believe that the flower will be fine. One day there's going to grow another flower near to it... and they will feel so happy about each other... GOD LET IT BE PLEASE I BEG YOU *cries*
@sayronmix i hate to say it cuz i would like the flower character to find true love, but this scene in piticualr was based purely on the novel, and in that chapter the flower see's its reflection in the toaster. and falls in love with it, the toaster trys to explain but the flower just thinks that it was been rejected, and falls to the ground, the toaster can't bear this and runs, then looks through the bush where he hides (Just like here), he see's the flower dead apon the ground.
What makes this scene so sad is that there is no Disneyfied resolve. No one comes back to give the flower friendship or purpose. They just get the flower's hopes up, and then abandon it to be left alone and dead inside forever.
This part made me cry as a child, and to be perfectly honest its hard to fight off the tears now.....thank you for posting....an amazing scene from an amazing movie....i think what makes this scene so sad is that it litterally follows one of the happier scenes in the entire movie....going from singing and swimming frogs to this, how is a kid suppose to process it....
Now after learning the author of TBLT committed suicide, rewatching this movie makes me think about hidden messages or what was going on in his head...
Looking back months later, I still don't understand why me you greeted me with
"LOL U MAD BRO?"
When I was simply saying that the author of the Brave Little Toaster didn't have his suicidal thoughts until like 17 years later and lived with those thoughts for about 4 years before shooting himself.
Isn't that a narcissus flower? I remember thinking of this scene when I learned about Narcissus in 6th grade. Even if it wasn't intentionally being referenced, it still kind of fits.
I actually find the junk yard scene with 'worthless' a lot more depressing, but I would have to say that this scene definitely comes in second for me. I have to agree with milty182, The Brave Little Toaster is nothing like kid's shows these days. In fact, I think a few kids in this day and age could learn a lot from watching this movie. Children need to experience reality in all of it's forms from the rejection of the flower to the death of the junkyard cars.
it's incredible how the animators took a simple flower and managed to convey such emotion through this scene. current movies will never compare to this
@booyah129 that is the kind of attitude that prevents modern films and television from reaching that level, you have abandoned the idea that great works of art and emotion can ever be conveyed again. You are spreading an attitude that causes writers to not put effort into their works!!!!!!
I will forever love that movie, and this movie as well. It's a great kids movie, but there are plenty of hidden themes for adults if you look closely enough at it.
saddest thing ever! this was my favorite movie of all time, and i think it still is. though now years later people think i'm a druggie (i've never smoked once!) and i listen to hardcore music and i'm definitely not innocent anymore, but, this movie will still always remind me of my innocence <3
While I like the fact that this movie exposes kids to real themes...
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS FILM?
An airconditioner that commits suicide? A vacuum that thinks about hanging himself? A fat guy in a monster truck who harvests the character appliances organs? A junkyard where cars sing about being executed by crushing and dismemberment?
A fucking CLOWN MONSTER that spews smoke, causing a toaster to nearly fall into a bathtub?
@Blahgahbleh Here's an interesting fact: Jerry Rees, the director of this film, went on to produce the videos used in what many call the scariest theme park attraction ever created; the late ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter at Disney World.
Animated version of Pennywise to maintenance worker getting devoured by alien isn't much of a leap.
@Blahgahbleh and somehow its still better then most of the childrens crap that comes out now days. basicly they let this movie do whatever they wanted. and hey it worked.
@Blahgahbleh that's what makes this movie perfect for kids.
You don't usually introduce these themes in childrens movies... well the people here did and it worked so magnificiently well. these scenes taught you life lessons, i.e. never stick a fork in your toaster, or never put your appliances in water... these images make you scared but that is completely necessary, otherwise you would take your scaredness and apply it to real life.
@Blahgahbleh It seems to me it's just a more intense version of the Toy Story Trilogy, which is interesting considering some of the people who produced it later made Pixar. I can definitely see the resemblance in Pixar's mascot, the lamp with Lampy in TBLT.
Companionship seems to be a very common theme in many of Pixar's works, I can definitely see the source.
@Blahgahbleh the simple answer? the makers of this film(John Lasseter and the late, great Joe Ranft among them) were firm believers in the Don Bluth school of thought regarding children's entertainment: kids are malleable. when you drop them, they tend to bounce. there is almost nothing they can't handle so long as you tie it all up with a well-written happy ending, and they will be better for seeing something that didn't coddle and speak down to them.
Gah. This is perhaps one of the saddest children's movies I've ever seen. It's between this, Toaster's nightmare, the scene at the parts shop with the blender, and Lampy's sacrifice that were the most ultimately raw, real moments from the perspective of just...everyday objects that makes you appreciate some of the antiquity in the world a little more.
I remember seeing this when I was little. I think its why I take loneliness so hard. Whenever I see people at a restaurant eating alone, or people in school sitting by themselves, I feel the instant need to cry.
Wow killing a flower by breaking its heart thats like giving away a kids puppy that just makes you want to swallow your heart to keep from crying your eyes out
@TheDarkLatias950 really? you have a picture of a pokemon on your profile picture and your calling ME immature? fuck off boy, by the way who the hell is gonna move the flower JESUS?
@janaican I'm A Girl, Idiot. Also, Liking Pokemon Has Nothing To Do With Maturity. Though I Guess You Wouldn't Know That, Seeing As That All You Can Do Is Make Insults Instead Of Making A Valid Point.
People Move Flowers For Many Reasons. To Dig Them Up, Move Them Into A Garden, Exct.
@TheDarkLatias950 no you fool, i just realized im wasting my time, arguing with someone on the internet about a kids movie, when i could be doing something else
@TheDarkLatias950 Seriously, there were no other flowers. Toaster couldn't move the flower. The Flower died before Toaster could understand what was going on.
I think aside from "Worthless" This is the second most depressing scene from the movie. The flower's need for companionship was very symbolic, and it's rejection tragic in it's own right. Thinking that someone had finally come along to love it, the flower was overjoyed to see Toaster, but after it's rejection, thrown into despair at thinking it's one chance for companionship was thrown away in vain. Such a heartbreaking symbolism and lesson in itself for Toaster.
im crying right now even when this video is no less then a minute... this is how i feel with my relationship, thats so sad....i never used to notice till now and now my heart almost just snapped, i love this movie so much.
Scenes like this, the AC scene, and the clown dream scene i think helped shape who i am today. those scenes are raw and real, nothing like the pussy shit kids watch today thats all politically correct and happy go lucky. the brave little toaster was REAL
@milty182 seriously this movie was really dark for a childrens movie the only movie made now days that comes close to being in the same league is toy story 3
@milty182 I agree. It's better if kids are exposed to reality early on, rather than develop this fluffy outlook on life, only to be trampeled later by their experiences with the realities of life growing up. That is more depressing and harmful I believe.
Wow. I loved this movie as a kid... looking at the clips and reading the commets, only know do I realize how layered this movie is and how dark it is.....
I always found Sword and the Stone sad when the boy transforms back from a Squirrel to a boy and the girl squirrel is heartbroken always found it very sad.
But at least they softened the blow with a hilarious scene in which arthur's foster father discovers the kitchen under the spell of merlin and gets into a battle with the dishes with his son kay being forced to help.
@KigekiHakuchi We all have the rights to not understand something. Instead of trying to give a "lecture of a lifetime" for it; one should understand and respect you, and explain their point of view.

@deltanalliance ... Life lessons = applying those lessons to real life. Sounds a lot like applying "Scaredness" to real life.

@Blahgahbleh It seems to me it's just a more intense version of the Toy Story Trilogy, which is interesting considering some of the people who produced it later made Pixar. I can definitely see the resemblance in Pixar's mascot, the lamp with Lampy in TBLT.
Companionship seems to be a very common theme in many of Pixar's works, I can definitely see the source.

@Blahgahbleh Well to be fair, the AC didn't commit suicide so much as he had a 'stroke' or 'heart attack', and he was fixed anyways xD

@Blahgahbleh the simple answer? the makers of this film(John Lasseter and the late, great Joe Ranft among them) were firm believers in the Don Bluth school of thought regarding children's entertainment: kids are malleable. when you drop them, they tend to bounce. there is almost nothing they can't handle so long as you tie it all up with a well-written happy ending, and they will be better for seeing something that didn't coddle and speak down to them.

Gah. This is perhaps one of the saddest children's movies I've ever seen. It's between this, Toaster's nightmare, the scene at the parts shop with the blender, and Lampy's sacrifice that were the most ultimately raw, real moments from the perspective of just...everyday objects that makes you appreciate some of the antiquity in the world a little more.

@Dogmachild The scene where Lampy sacrifices himself to power the generator stuck with me for years.

I remember seeing this when I was little. I think its why I take loneliness so hard. Whenever I see people at a restaurant eating alone, or people in school sitting by themselves, I feel the instant need to cry.

TheDarkLatias950 1 year ago
@TheDarkLatias950 No one likes to continue an argument with someone with an attitude, chick.
Want the simple fact?
A toaster can't uproot a plant. And as soon as Toaster wanted to go back to the flower, it was already dead. Nothing could be done.
The point of if it was lonely and wanted a friend or if it was a Narcissus reference doesn't matter from the main point.

I don't think the flower loved Toaster, it was in love with its own reflection. (It's a Narcissus.)

I think aside from "Worthless" This is the second most depressing scene from the movie. The flower's need for companionship was very symbolic, and it's rejection tragic in it's own right. Thinking that someone had finally come along to love it, the flower was overjoyed to see Toaster, but after it's rejection, thrown into despair at thinking it's one chance for companionship was thrown away in vain. Such a heartbreaking symbolism and lesson in itself for Toaster.

thewewguy8t88 9 months ago
@milty182 I agree. It's better if kids are exposed to reality early on, rather than develop this fluffy outlook on life, only to be trampeled later by their experiences with the realities of life growing up. That is more depressing and harmful I believe.
