Storyline

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. Written by Jonah Falcon <jonahnynla@mindspring.com>

Trivia

Loudmouth (the Radio) directs the group "North by northwest" then cautions them to "watch out for low-flying aircraft". This is a reference to the Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest in which Cary Grant is chased by a low-flying biplane. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: At the very end of the film as we see an overhead shot of Chris's car driving down the road, an animation glitch occurs where the car merges back and forth erratically on the left and right lanes. See more »
