The Nostalgia Hall of Fame

Nostalgia in Hall of Fame form

  • The Nostalgia HOF

    There are halls of fames for everything nowadays. You got the obvious ones: Rock & Roll HOF, Baseball HOF. You have the ones no one seem's to care about like The Rockabilly Hall of Fame, or the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame (Actually exists). But there's not one Hall of Fame that everyone cares about. There are non-sports fans that could care less who's getting in the Baseball or Football Halls of Fame. There are people that aren't into current entertainment that don't care about who's on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But the one Hall of Fame we all could relate to is missing. The Nostalgia Hall of Fame. Things change from childhood to adulthood, but there are always things that remind us of childhood or our teenage lives. We might see an old book in the library and think "Hey, I remember reading that book in 5th grade." There might be an old toy at a yard sale or on the E-bay that reminds us how we played with it non-stop a long, long time ago. So why is there no Hall of Fame for all the old stuff we like? Well now there is. Kinda. I'm not ambitious enough to build a giant building and officially induct things and give them plaques and crap. But as a blogger I can do my duty. After all, in 10 or 20 years when the new cool thing on the internet is something totally different, blogging will be nostalgic. There are several categories that something can get inducted for including: Toys, Movies, Cartoons, TV Shows, Sports, Music, Video games, Quotes and more. Nostalgia will be inducted in an at least 10 years old basis, so anything before 1998 is fair game.

The Brave Little Toaster

The Brave Little Toaster
Hall of Fame Category: Movies (Animated)
Despite the fact that I now hate talking-inanimate-object-animated-movies, especially those with song breaks, The BLT was a perfect movie when it came out. Sure, it didn’t have a great cast (Couple SNL guys), and the names of the characters were… unoriginal: Toaster the Toaster, Blanky the Blanket, Radio the Radio, and Kirby the Vaccuum cleaner (still don’t get that one). But, not much was cooler to a kid than a Toaster and his group of electronic friends trying to find their master. Don’t be surprised if you see this movie remade in the near future. Of course, kids these days will be like “Wait… radio? What’s a radio?” The BLT, toy story, and A Bug’s Life all have something in common. “A113″ is seen in all three movies. In the BLT it’s “The Master’s” apartment number. John Lasseter, the director of all three movies, was in room A113 in college and he worked it into all three movies. Enjoy The Brave Little Toaster for as long as ya can before Hollywood remakes it, or until you accidentally watch “The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars.”
