The Brave Little Toaster was a cute film, but
certainly not my favorite Disney movie. (The
characters annoyed me a little bit...) I've
refused to see the sequels. However, every time
I look at this cel I get a warm fuzzy feeling.
Just the tenderness in Blankey's pose and the
expressions of the field mice are endearing...
so every time I consider letting it go for
something I want more (say, from movies I
REALLY cherish vs. the ones I "like"), I look at
this cel and end up leaving him in the cel book.
Blankey just reminds me of the stuffed Care Bear
doll (the Lamb - we called him "Lammy" even
though I know that was not his "real" name) I
had as a child. I used to drag him around with
me until he was filthy and my mother would have
to pry him out of my hands to toss him in the
wash. I still have Lammy packed in a box
somewhere. That ragged old stuffed toy would
be worthless to anyone but me...
