Brave Little Toaster Part II

So last time we talked about some of the spiritual messages of The Brave Little Toaster.  Now we shall revisit that topic.  There are a few points that I would like to expound upon.  First off while they're waiting for their master, they see a sign that the place is going to be sold.  So they lose hope and so instead of waiting for their master they go on a journey to go find him.  He now lives in the city of "lights."  Now the fact that their Master represents God at times is very apparent in the song City of Light.  I shall quote a few of the lines.

Master is a man with a plan I can understand
Master is a man of great reflection
Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
Master is the man of our affection

Let's replace Master with God.  It fits perfectly into the song.

So they go on this journey and some of the middle part of the movie is fluff and stuff like that.  When they get to the apartment though there are newer appliances.  These appliances though are much vainer than they are and are high class ones.


In the song they sing, they talk about being on the cutting edge.  Here are some lyrics:

More! More! More!
Everything you wanted and more
More! More! More!

It then every so often it mentions the edge.  Then it ends the song with this line.

Everything you dreamed of on the edge
And more

The whole song is a metaphor of living on the edge and how the newer fancier appliances represent the unfaithful.  In the end it wasn't the perks or how good the appliances were with their jobs but how faithful they were.

 In the end he saves them from destruction nearly killing himself doing so.  He has a deep love for his appliances.  So deep that he nearly kills himself to save them.  While in the end it is the Toaster that sacrifices himself to save the Master, it is the Master who eventually repairs Toaster from a destroyed state to a pristine state.  Only the Master has the power to restore us even though we are broken beyond all repair, he can fix us.
