Microsoft Rewards Bing Homepage Trivia Question: A 1980 kids’ novella by Thomas M. Disch, and its 1987 animated adaptation, star a ‘Brave Little…’

The given options are:

  • Tin soldier
  • Typewriter
  • Toaster

Correct Answer: Toaster

Fact: This ‘bedtime story for small appliances’ features the title character leading a desk lamp, a vacuum cleaner, and other anthropomorphic household items to reunite with their all-grown-up human owner. Some of the people involved in the film adaptation went on to found Pixar—perhaps ‘The Brave Little Toaster’ inspired that company’s mascot?
