The first taste of Disch's novella The Brave Little Toaster, then, came to me by way of a feature-length animated adaptation from Disney that, a little like Babe: Pig in the City, probably caused enough consternation in the hearts and minds of studio PR to result in its relegation to a minor theatrical push with a botched advertising campaign. Disch for his sterling non-fiction work ( The Dreams Our Stuff is Made Of and The Castle of Indolence) and a few samplings of his less impressive genre short fiction, and though I was aware that he'd written a couple of children's books about a band of appliances, I'd never felt compelled to investigate.

Dischīy Walter Chaw I'm most familiar with Thomas M. Screenplay by Willard Carroll, based on the book by Thomas M. Screenplay by Jerry Rees & Joe Ranft, based on the book by Thomas M.
