So it was my first approach to the series.
For an adult it is funny when anthropomorphic cars get crushed by an anthropomorphic compactor. It is funny when an air conditioner commits suicide by blowing itself up. We rationalize that these are just inanimate objects that have been anthropomorphized for a silly cartoon. Violence against non-human characters isn't the same as violence against human characters. The problem is that for children under 6, the target audience of Toaster, they don't really differentiate between human and non-human characters. Most children's movies are smart enough to realize this. Disney KNEW that children would be upset by Mufasa's death despite the fact he is a lion and not a human. That is why Disney treats character deaths with appropriate gravity as opposed to the completely flippant response that Toaster has.
It is important to respect children and not be dismissive of their intelligence and condescending, but it is also important to realize that different age groups don't think and rationalize the same way. I feel the Toaster team either didn't understand this or they knew what they were doing and just wanted to give kids nightmares for the lulz.
What did catch your eye, if the question is allowed (:
