Plot
Rob and his girlfriend Chris have married and now have a baby son named Robbie who plays with Toaster, Blanky, Lampy, Radio, and Kirby just like his father did when he was little (I See a New You). The appliances make it their prime directive to make sure nothing happens to the Little Master to which they refer to Robbie as. That night the Hearing Aid, who was left in the junk drawer by his former owner (Albert Einstein), sneaks out and goes to the window and gets in contact with someone from space telling them that tomorrow night he&apos;ll be ready. Toaster who has secretly followed Hearing Aid listens from behind the door and tells the others the next day about Hearing Aid and decide to keep an eye on him but as night falls they fall asleep on the job. Hearing Aid sneaks out again and goes to the window and gets in contact with the unknown person from space but both the appliances and Robbie both wake up and follow Hearing Aid.

Robbie is the first to appear at the window and while the appliances fight off Hearing Aid, Robbie gets transported into space. The appliances learn that Robbie has been transported to the planet Mars and Hearing Aid said he was supposed to get transported to Mars and volunteers to accompany the gang to go to Mars and rescue the Little Master. The gang contact their old college buddy Wittgenstein through the computer and he gives them the equipment they need they need to get a ceiling fan to fly, a laundry basket to travel in, a microwave and microwave popcorn (with cheddar cheese flavoring) to help them fly. After getting all the stuff they need the appliances head off to Mars and on the way they&apos;re encountered by singing balloons (We&apos;re Floating). Once they get to Mars the appliances are greeted by others appliances including Viking 1 the Satellite and Tinselina the Christmas Angel and a bunch other appliances who had built a rocket and landed on Mars after their owners on Earth threw them out.

The appliances show that they have Robbie as their prisoner and plan to destroy Earth after being hurt for being thrown out. Toaster tries to talk them out of it but is put in an Election with the Leader Supreme Commander who is a Refrigerator but when Robbie touches Supreme Commander, he learns that not all humans are bad and decides not to destroy Earth after all. That night Hearing Aid is reunited with the person who he got in contact with who happens to be his twin brother (that&apos;s who the Supreme Commander really is in reality). The next day the appliances along with Hearing Aid&apos;s brother and Tinselina depart to leave to go back home to Earth but as they are about to fly off Hearing Aid&apos;s brother forgotten to stop the Rocket and he and Toaster rush back to the Rocket and stop it just before it is about to destroy Earth. Toaster at first is happy because they managed to stop the Rocket but is also sad because he thinks that he and Hearing Aid&apos;s brother are getting left on Mars but the gang manages to come back and rescues them and head for home (Home Again Song). As soon as they get home Robbie walks into his room to his parents who think that he learned it in the night. Soon it&apos;s Christmas and Robbie says his first word (to them, anyway) which is "Toaster!" And he brings in Toaster, Radio, Blanky, Lampy, and Kirby to which Chris turns to Rob and says, "Like father, like son." While Chris and Rob leave the room for a little while the gang comes alive and celebrates Christmas with Robbie and look up at Tinselina who Rob and Chris put up on the top of the tree.

Trivia

 * This and The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue were in production at the same time. Originally The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue was supposed to be the 2nd film because it deals with Rob at college and this one was supposed to be 3rd but this one got released first making it the 2nd one and The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue the 3rd movie in 1999.
 * Viking 1 was the last role that DeForest Kelley ever played. Kelley later died in 1999 from stomach cancer.
 * In the book, only The Fan, Microwave, Hearing Aid, Toaster, Radio, and Blanky (after sneaking on the laundry basket) went to Mars. Lampy and Kirby stayed behind. In the film those same characters go along with Calculator, Lampy, and Kirby.
