Imagine if Your Toaster Went on a Journey of its Own!

A group of dated appliances that find themselves stranded in a summer home that their family had just sold, decide to, á la "The Incredible Journey", seek their young 8 year old "master". Children's film which on the surface is a frivolous fantasy, but with a dark subtext of abandonment, obsolescence, and loneliness.

Fun Fact: Two weeks after recording their dialogue, Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman joined Saturday Night Live.
