It looks like the Slate missed out in their toaster test by excluding specialty and novelty toasters, but if "cute" had been one of their categories, these Disney toasters by VillaWare would have won hands down. Not only is there a Cinderella toaster, which prints a heart on one side of toast and a glass slipper on the other, but there are Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse toasters, too. Perhaps the most interesting toaster is one that will really appeal to children while annoying the heck out of parents: the Mickey Mornin' Toaster. It prints the unforgettable image of Mickey Mouse on the toast and it plays the Mickey Mouse Club March when the toast pops up. This toaster would make a great gift - that way you get to see it in action without having to live with it!
Disney and VillaWare also have many other themed appliances, including a smoothie maker and a toasted sandwich maker, but the level of detail in the Cinderella Waffle Iron is unparalleled. The round Belgian waffle iron prints the image of Cinderella and Prince Charming driving away in a carriage on one side of the waffle! What little girl wouldn't want to wake up to a little bit of "happily ever after" with her breakfast?
