Alot of the music is built around the song 'City of Lights' which sounds powerful when put through the orchestra, best heard in 'Out Into The World', 'Happy Travel' and 'End Credits'. The score itself is a long way from being the stereotypical kids music you would expect. Other times, however, Newman manages to capture alot of the film's dark atmosphere with some ominous music.

At times it sounds like most animated kid's films fun and lighthearted. Overall, the songs aren't particularly exciting, but they still are original and fun.ĭavid Newman's score for the film itself is interesting. It gives some varying vocals while sounding foreboding. 'Worthless' is probably the most powerful song of the four. 'Cutting Edge' is cheesy 80's song, complete with electronics, synthesizers, and some bland vocals. The Peter Lorre voice actor delivers some interesting pieces but the song itself isn't much to blink at. 'It's A B Movie' is a creepy, 1950's horror movie sounding track. While not particularly spectacular, 'City of Lights' is annoyingly catchy with some fun little lines. The main song for the film is 'City of Lights', featuring the full cast. Along for the ride came quirky composer David Newman who offered one of his strongest efforts to date.īefore talking about the score, let me delve into the film's songs, written by Van Dyke Parks. Unfortunately, BLT didn't make a big impact, but managed to gain a large cult following.

BLT is a surprisingly good (not too mention dark) animated film with many levels of symbolism and powerful imagery. Before Toy Story, before Pixar, before animated films became considered TRUE forms of art and accepted into things like the Academy Awards, came ' The Brave Little Toaster.' The film, released by Disney, was a heartfelt look into a group of appliances who set out on an epic journey to find their lost master.
