My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Disney)

Household appliances languishing in an abandoned cabin, band together on a quest to reunite with their owner. Along the way the survive various natural hazards, such as a thunderstorms and a waterfall, eventually ending up in a spare parts shop. They manage to escape to the city where the simply look up the address of their former owner. He is headed to college and after a trip to the cabin to retrieve them turns up empty, is searching for replacements. They are all reunited after a long, thrilling climax in a junkyard. Odd entry in the Disney catalog, dated by unwelcomed musical interludes in the worst 80s style. Made by some of the same animators who went on to form Pixar, and does share some rudimentary similarities to Toy Story.
