Millennials who got an anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist message from the Brave Little Toaster, it's not an accident!
The film is based on a book series by Thomas M Disch #BraveLittleToaster #movie #Millennials
The film is based on a book series by Thomas M Disch #BraveLittleToaster #movie #Millennials
The main theme in Disch's series is criticism of planned obsolescence, which is what "The Cutting Edge" song in the 1987 film is about (CW: there is Black- and yellowface in this clip)
We joke this film made us into hoarders, but it taught us that things that are old are not inherently worthless #movies #Millennials
The film's songs were written by Van Dyke Parks, whose eclectic oeuvre includes "Tokyo Rose", a concept album about the 1980s Japanese/America trade war rhino.com/article/happy-…
It is hard to describe what it's like to be a millennial and know exactly how the cars at the junkyard felt being discarded as worthless by capitalism #CapitalismKills #Millennials
The Brave Little Toaster means more to me as I age, and if I am ever blessed to have kids I will be honored to share the film, soundtrack and Disch's book with them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brave… #Millennials #ThomasMDisch #BraveLittleToaster #movie 
Life is like a journey
On a road that's within
Your head says you should stay,
But your heart says to begin
So you go
But you don't wanna go!
Any life worth living,
Isn't life just filled with ease!
You just stay forgiving,
In the forest and the trees
On a road that's within
Your head says you should stay,
But your heart says to begin
So you go
But you don't wanna go!
Any life worth living,
Isn't life just filled with ease!
You just stay forgiving,
In the forest and the trees
"Life is like a journey" was my highschool yearbook quote
