Revision as of 18:22, 14 September 2019

Radio is a red vacuum tube-based dial-meter radio who appears in the 1987 animated film The Brave Little Toaster and its sequels. Unlike his fellow appliances, he is the only character who lacks an anthropomorphic face, except that his yellow dial with its red pointer is possibly his eye, and his speaker is possibly his (immobile) mouth.

Personality

Radio is prone to exaggeration and boasting. Also, he often narrates his own adventures in a rather over dramatic style. He sometimes does radio-talking from early 20th century radio announcers, and he repeats major references referring to that era.

Relationships

Radio seems to get along with the other appliances in the first movie except for Kirby, until near the very end. In the film's sequels, Radio helps out his fellow appliances whenever they need it. He can be heard broadcasting minor events that occur or playing music from different stations.
