Oh my god, the amount of canon characters on screen is over 9000!

I was inspired to draw this by my two newest TBLT fan friends *TechnezthaTronBlue and ~RainbowTech who both coincidentally both see the "B-Movie Shop" scene as their favorite in the movie and have started writing their own post-movie story about what happened to the various shop appliances after their escape from the shop in the movie.

I was particularly inspired by Tech's picture here: [link] I really liked the idea of trying to create a picture that showed everything you'd want to know about the B-Movie scene in one drawing! It seemed like a challenging goal and I felt up to it.

-------------(skip past this if you've seen the movie ^_^)------------------------------------

So in Brave Little Toaster about half-way through there is a very creative scene/location that involves our hero appliances being found by the owner of a parts shop, Mr. Elmo St. Peters. After being forced to witness the live dissection of a blender they meet the 'native' inhabitants. These mainly consist of other broken appliances in the shop who are all waiting for their number to up and to be taken apart for their parts. (very disgusting when thought about) Many of them are practically insane after having to watch so many other appliances being killed in front of them and never knowing when they'll be next.

What happens later is a musical number called "It's Like A Movie (B-Movie)" in which the shop appliances, in the most creepy way possible, compare their situation to being in a 20s-40s horror movie, making many references to movies like Frankenstein, House of Wax, using common horror phrases and referencing actors such as Vincent Price and Peter Lorre. It's quite an entertaining music video and ranks up there at #2 with me next to "Worthless."

Something I think is really cool about the movie is how detailed they went for a scene that really wasn't that long (the whole scene is just over 8 minutes!). Making all these very creative characters but never really doing a lot with them like they could have. Really they probably could have made a whole movie out of JUST being caught and escaping the parts shop! This scene is actually a precursor to Toy-Story 1's scenes in Sid's house. Both movies in fact HAD the same Director.

For those of you who don't plan to watch the movie but at least wanna see what this picture is based on and have 8 minutes to kill, go watch the scene here, you wont regret it: [link]

-------------(ok start reading again from here)--------------------------------------------------

I am extremely proud of how this came out and I really hope my effort shows through. I had already had the basic background and scene in my head, but other then having the main characters in the middle surrounded by the shop appliances, I didn't know where individual characters would BE and my biggest worry would be that I simply wouldn't be able to fit all the characters in there!

I'm also quite proud of the fact that besides Lampy, this was my first time ever drawing any of these characters! I did use reference to make sure I got them drawn right, but I've never been one for straight out copying, so you have my word that all the poses are my own and were NOT drawn straight off the movie. Like I mentioned before, I tried drawing Lampy once years ago. This was when I had a momentary 'oh yeah, boy I remember that movie' moment.. not an outright obsession like now. I felt like showing the movie a little tribute for it's role in my childhood but couldn't get past freaking Lampy and gave up!

I thought maybe I'd draw him no problem at all now that I'm older, and out of all the characters he's STILL the one I had to erase and re-draw the most times! XD I don't know what it is man, it's just like, you gotta get every curve and proportion correct or he doesn't look right! On the opposite side of things, I got Toaster and Blanky drawn right the first time and without references just because of their simplicity.

Now, every main 'appliance' character from the scene is in this picture, a statistic I'm proud of, all but about 4.. the refrigerator, oven, phonograph, and of course the blender.. since he's you know...dead.

While it might not be immediately obvious, The size of the shop appliance characters were intentionally done based on their popularity to me. For example I freaking love the dinosaur-looking fan, it looks freaking scary man! While the poor waffle-iron who got about 3 short moments on screen is way in the background being alone and emo. X'D I remember back when I was a little kid the tape-recorder.. erm.. that being the one WITHOUT tits.. was my favorite character.. still is one of them too! You know, he actually really reminds me a lot of Bobby-Lee from "Worthless" ..both are about the same shade of red, both have crazy mouths, and both are just outright pretty 'wild' looking.

A last little note I want to throw in there. It's funny how mass character pictures like this kinda create their own stories as they're drawn. Most of the time your adding characters in as you see space for them, and making their poses on the fly with what looks cool. Why is it that Lampy seems to be getting all the attention from the two (confirmed) girl appliances in the place? XD Is he just really attractive by appliance standards? Geez, that guy seems to be getting unwanted romantical advances all throughout that movie! If it's not for those two girls, it's from the creepy MOAR computer from "Cutting Edge".. getting all up in Lampy's face and jizzing print-outs all over him. [link] XD But seriously Lampy go with it.. maybe that Reel-to-Reel tape-recorder'll let you motorboat. >D *shot*
