Fan art. Just saying it brings a bemused smile to the face of animation artists. Seeing a fan art version of something you worked on is an honor; the naive quality and the unabashed love behind it make it so. And sometimes what makes fan art special is the creativity of it. Enter Ian Knau.
Ian is 22 and a lifelong fan of The Brave Little Toaster. The climactic sequence of the film involves a metal compactor - imagine the climactic scene in Toy Story 3 only twenty years earlier. The Toaster sacrifices herself (yes, herself) to save The Master from being smooshed. The metal crunchng machine made a deep impression on young Ian that has carried into his adulthood.
