Action

The film is about five old household appliances - a vacuum cleaner, a table lamp, a radio, a security blanket and a toaster - which embark on an adventurous journey to make their former owner Robert identified. This drew namely many years ago with his parents away, leaving the device on his own back. On their journey they must be, among others, a terrible storm, a malignant electrician and a gluttonous scrap press behind, until they finally arrived at their human friend, who is now an adult and has a girlfriend. But before they are resumed, they must still contend with recently -purchased, ultra modern and jealous household appliances.

Background

The film was animated in China and set to music in Japan. The main points of the film production, however, remained in the United States. In the credits, the airline is mentioned, which transported the film between the continents. The movie is different in character from other Disney films that were, however, also produced by Disney himself.

Synchronization

Strange is also the Germanization of the film, even for that time.

The language in the film is natural and not trimmed in High German with perfect pronunciation as in later Disney movies.

In the German dubbing two characters were converted. In the original, the toaster a female character and the table lamp is a male character.

The voice of Robert was voiced by Thomas Hermanns.

Reviews

" A witty, entertaining and sometimes quite black history, in which one can also think about the too fast decay data of our world. "
