English Summary:

Toaster is the leader of a gang of appliances consisting of a radio, a lamp named "Lampy", a blanket named "Blanky", and a vacuum cleaner named "Kirby" who belong to their "master"; a young boy named Rob. They wait every day at Rob's cottage for his return with an increasing sense of abandonment, which causes Blanky to hallucinate about finally seeing Rob coming back. On the second day of July, the appliances are devastated to learn that a real estate broker is selling the house. Not wanting to accept the fact that the Master would abandon them, Toaster decides that the group should head out and find Rob. The appliances connect a car battery to an office chair pulled by Kirby and set out into the world, following Radio's signal broadcast from the city where Rob has moved to.

On their journey, the appliances encounter numerous harrowing adventures where they learn to work together. Shortly after stopping to rest within a forest, a nightmare where Rob and Toaster get tortured by an evil smirking clown dressed as a firefighter followed by a violent storm during nightfall wakes Toaster and the others with the storm blowing Blanky up into the trees, and Lampy risks his life by using himself as a lightning rod in an attempt to recharge the group's dead battery. After recovering Blanky the next morning, they try to cross a waterfall, but during an attempt to cross it, everyone falls in except for Kirby, who dives after them and rescues them, and the appliances wash up into the middle of a swamp. After losing both the chair and the battery, the group resorts to pulling a disabled Kirby through the swamp. After losing their balance and almost drowning in a mud hole, they are rescued by Elmo St. Peters, an owner of a spare parts shop, where they get scared by a group of partially dismantled or disfigured appliances, who have lost hope and are at risk of being disassembled or sold. When Radio is removed from a shelf and about to have his radio tubes extracted, the appliances frighten St. Peters by pretending to be a ghost and flee to the city, while most of the worn-out appliances flee the store and return to their masters' homes.

Hungarian Summary:

A víkendházban magukra hagyott háztartási eszközök a bátor kis kenyérpirító vezetésével nekivágnak a nagyvilágnak, hogy gazdáik nyomára bukkanjanak. A békés, meleg kuckóból kilépve szembe kell nézniük a kinti világban rájuk leselkedő ezernyi fenyegető veszéllyel - de semmi sem állhat az útjukba, míg kis gazdájukat, az azóta alaposan felcseperedett Robot meg nem találják...

Voice cast / Hangok:

• Deanna Oliver as Toaster, an inspiring pop-up toaster who is the leader of the group of appliances. The main protagonist in the film, Toaster is courageous, intelligent, kind, thoughtful and warmhearted. She is the one who devises the idea of going on a journey to locate the appliances' former master, Rob. Although Toaster is described as "he" and "guy" in the film, also thought to be a child due do being voiced by the actress, Jerry Rees pictured the character of Toaster as a female. Oliver originally auditioned for the voice of the Air Conditioner, doing an impression of Bette Davis, but was given the role of Toaster.
• Timothy E. Day as Blanky, an electric blanket with an innocent demeanor. Childlike and insecure, Blanky is the only appliance who is deeply distressed over Rob's absence, and wants nothing more than to be reunited with. Toaster and Blanky share a warm, older sibling-younger sibling relationship.
  • Day also voices young Rob in several flashbacks.
• Tim Stack as Lampy, an easily impressed yet slightly irascible gooseneck desktop lamp. He is bright, but tends to be ironically dimwitted, though he has a couple of good points. During the storm scene, He nearly sacrifices his life, using himself as a lighting rod to power the gang's car battery. Lampy and Radio share a like-hate relationship and frequently get into arguments with each other, though their animosity lessens throughout the movie.Jon Lovitz as Radio, a wise-cracking plastic line/battery-operated dial-based vacuum tube AM radio whose personality parodies loud and pretentious announcers. In a running gag, Radio and Lampy get into petty arguments.
  • Stack also voiced a man named "Zeke".
• Thurl Ravenscroft as Kirby, a very deep voiced, individualistic upright Kirby vacuum cleaner who dons a cynical, cantankerous attitude towards the other appliances. He is also the oldest appliance of the gang.
• Wayne Kaatz as Robert "Rob" McGroarty ("the Master"), the original human owner of the five appliances. After appearing as a child in flashbacks, Rob, now as an adult, is leaving for college. While in the book, Rob plans to sell the cabin along with the appliances, in the film, Rob still has sentimentality towards appliances and takes them to college in the end.
• Colette Savage as Christine, Rob's tomboyish, supportive girlfriend, nicknamed "Chris".
• Phil Hartman, doing an impression of Jack Nicholson as Air Conditioner, a sarcastic electric air conditioner who resides in the cabin with the gang. He lost his temper while arguing with them, which causes him to overheat and explode, but is repaired by Rob near the end of the film.Joe Ranft as Elmo St. Peters, the owner of a spare appliance parts shop where he disassembles even his own appliances and sells the parts.
  • Hartman, by doing an impression of Peter Lorre, also voiced Hanging Lamp, a Hungarian pendant lamp in the spare parts shop.
• Jerry Rees as the singing voice of Radio.
• Jim Jackman as Plugsy, a pear-shaped table lamp with an LED light bulb who is one of the modern machines that reside in Rob's apartment. While they were benevolent in the novel, in the film, they are formerly jealous and antagonistic towards the gang.
• Jonathan Benair as Black and White TV, an old monochrome console television who has moved to Rob's apartment and is an old friend of the gang.
• Judy Toll, doing an impression of Joan Rivers as Mish-Mash, a hybrid appliance consisting of a can opener, a gooseneck lamp and an electric shaver.
• Mindy Stern as the Mistress, Rob's mother who is an unseen character.Randy Bennett as Computer, a Tandy home computer system who is one of the modern machines that reside in Rob's apartment.
  • Toll and Stern also voiced the Two-face Sewing Machine in Rob's apartment.
• Danny Mann as Stereo, a Japanese Panasonic stereo radio-cassette player who is one of the modern machines that reside in Rob's apartment.
• Susie Allanson as the Toaster Oven in Rob's apartment
• Randall William Cook as the Entertainment Complex in Rob's apartment.
