Along the way they must face many dangers and obstacles, including figuring out how to get juice in a wilderness containing no electrical outlets. The film is based on a children's tale by science-fiction author Thomas M. Disch and won a Parent's Choice Award. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Appliances make a suspenseful, incredible journey.

An adventure starring slightly anthropomorphized appliances doesn't necessarily sound like a can't-miss proposition--but surprise, it's an actually cute and extremely fun animated flick.

Phil Villarreal, Arizona Daily Star
An overlooked classic. No kid should go through life not having seen this utterly rewatchable fable.
