Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending to a place called 'Tartaras Laboratories', the same place that old-skinned Sebastian (-an old monkey, that Rob's tending for-) with his hand when he was just a baby. The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. While working on a thesis, the computer crashes, thanks to many terrible computer viruses infecting Wittgenstein, an old TLW-728 supercomputer. Oh, and the company also has the rights to Born Free, which will apparently be told from the perspective of the lions this time around.Rob McGroarty, the owner of the appliances and whom they refer to as 'the Master', is working in a laboratory where he tends to injured animals.

Originally published in 1980 by Thomas M Disch, the source book finds a lamp, an electric blanket, a radio, a hoover and a toaster heading off on a quest to find their owner, who they refer to as The Master. It appears The Brave Little Toaster will have to be exceedingly courageous once more, as a company called Waterman Entertainment has bought it and plans to turn it into a live-action / CG hybrid film for, you know, kids.
