Many brought-to-life appliances "irl" and diverse worlds

Most of these characters are weapons and while they aren't very obviously sentient, they do possess some form of consciousness and a will of their own, so semi-sentient may be the best way to describe them.

Apologies if I'm missing some, but please let me know if you know more.

Franchise: Marvel (1939)*

*based on the first comic published

I believe many of these (if not all) appear in multiple comics and even multiple movies, so here's just them without specific titles, because I'm sure I could not make a complete list of all comic issues and movie titles.

Characters: Mjölnir, Stormbreaker, All-Black, Ebony Blade, Cloak of Levitation, Cosmic Cubes, Infinity Stones

There's also one universe that I'm aware of in the Spider-verse (comics), "Earth-53931", wherein reality is inhabited by sentient cars:

Characters: sentient cars

A(n orginally French) series about legendary football player that got turned into a football as a punishment for his big ego. And now he tries to teach a young boy named Daniel how to become better at the sport, while Daniel tries to teach him how to become less selfish.

Character: Erico Platana

TV series: Coach Me If You Can (French ver. 2019-, English ver. 2020-)

There's also one episode, "To Each His Own Daniel", wherein we see more people that got cursed and turned into objects:

Characters: Rashid Blutini, Marvin Douglas, Ambroisine Chenapier*

I wanted to add a picture of the key alone, but it seems he and HIS WIFE (apparently) are inseperable - and honestly? I like it... I like their vibe. They are a wholesomely deranged couple and I ship it. (Although... it's not really a ship anymore if it's canon, is it?)

Character: Paracelsus/Flament Nagel

Franchise: Guilty Gear (1998-)*

Does this count...? I'm counting it. Despite the "entity" in question not really being portrayed as a "character" (neither is it a literal object).

This movie is about a family moving into a house with a swimming pool, but the swimming pool is not what it seems. I honestly think it's a little bit underrated. From reading the reviews, some people seem to have not understood who the "monster" of this movie was, which is unfortunate.

Character: spring water

This may just be one of the best outer space movies in existence (in my opinion). Unique, unpredictable and thrilling. Go watch it if you haven't already and you like Sci-Fi's (and you're okay with older movies).

I don't want to say more, because I may have already spoiled too much. You should not expect the Event Horizon to be a very expressive character, though - but it is very much present. [SPOILER ALERT:] If I recall correctly, the spaceship got possessed by something evil.

Character: Event Horizon

Gameoverse is the second (and a brand-new) Glitch Production show of this list. Heroes of previously destroyed worlds must help the villains of other games so that those heroes cannot win their game which will otherwise lead to their world's destruction, too. The pilot just came out the other day and it's super promising already...!

One of the secondary antagonists is Fold, who is humanoid piece of paper that can fold into any kind of shape. Basically origami.

Character: Fold

Webseries: Gameoverse (2026-)

There's also a brief scene wherein we see one of the bosses whom Flappers had to fight against, which is some sort of lightbulb boss:

Welp, that was not a short break. Ahem... Anyways!

This is a short Italian film with motorbikes and a few other object characters. It's practically an isekai and the two main characters, Fofi and Dedo, must unite rivaling motorbikes to find their way back home.

Movie: The Animotosi in the Land of Nowhere (2005)

Hope all of you had a great New Year's Eve with TONS of fireworks 🎆 (if you like that, at least - I, for one, definitely do)! And even more importantly, I hope 2026 will be a MAGNIFICENT year for you! ✨

Best wishes from me. ✌️🌸

Edit (Dec 8): I finally got a new laptop. =D This edit will be the last thing I'll do on the Chromebook.

Edit (Dec 11): Hello, new laptop. :p

Edit (Jan 23): Dang, I got 6 more days before it's "months" again--

Edit (Jan 30): Y'all, I thought I could return during my "off-week", but it appears I don't have an "off-week" this time during my college's periods, cuz I got a deadline really soon. I apologize. It may take a bit longer before I return, but here's proof that I didn't actually disappear.

Edit (Mar 5): Still not disappeared off the Earth's surface - I was kinda busy lately, heh. I will try to return this or next week.

Edit (Mar 24): Damnit--

Phineas and Ferb is the kind of series to not have that many diehard fans (proportionally), but everybody loves it! Even though almost all episodes have a similar premise, they keep being enjoyable to watch!

Fun fact: The Phineas and Ferb series had actually ended in 2015, but then a whopping 10 years later, in 2025, the revival and fifth season of Phineas and Ferb premiered on Disney Channel (I literally just found out). This season is ongoing and a sixth season is confirmed.

Anyways, here are the only characters I know of that are eligible (but who knows - hopefully, there are more to come):

Characters: Balloony, Klimpaloon, Klimpaloon clones

TV series: Phineas and Ferb (2007-)

Additionally, there is Planty the Potted Plant, who, although factually inanimate, is treated as a character and there's Katt Karr from the eponymous program that aired on "Ferb TV", which is a clear nod to the Knight Rider franchise (even the AI car's name is a reference).

I got myself in a little bit of trouble, because previously, I had divided the horror movies into different catagories:

| Combined post #1 | Low-budget horror movies featuring sentient objects as killers. These were all refrigerator horror movies (since we're counting the amount sentient fridges).

| Combined post #2 | Low-budget horror movies featuring sentient objects as killers. This one continued that list regularly.

| Combined post #3 | More horror movies featuring sentient objects as killers. This was a list of such movies I'd give a try.

| Combined post #4 | Decent horror movies featuring sentient objects as killers. There were 4 movies I classified as such.

Then, Christine got a seperate post - being a favourite of mine.

And The Lift did, too - being my #1 favourite of these movies.

Here's my regret: I wish I hadn't made the third Combined Post, because as I watch them, I actually want to add all of those movies to the other Combined Posts or give them seperate posts. However, I can't do this, because that will mess up the entry counter and I am not willing to change those numbers from that post onwards.

So here's what I'll do: As I have said in | NLRP #26 | Watchlist updates, I really loved Event Horizon and also liked Oculus a lot, so:

Event Horizon deserves its own post. I will add it to the list soon.

Oculus will be added to the fourth Combined Post at number 3.

The other movies in the third Combined Post will stay there with the same text (unless they turn out to be exceptionally good).

| NLRP #26 | Watchlist updates will continue to be updated as I watch more of that post's movies.

Furthermore, another movie I found and watched, called Pulse, will be added to the fourth Combined Post at number 6.

So Bill Cipher and his friend, Kryptos, were added before in an Honourable Mentions post (since they are symbols, not objects), but then I realized that there was in fact an actual "thing" that came to life during Weirdmagaddon, which was the Gravity Falls water tower.

Character: Gravity Falls water tower

TV series: Gravity Falls (2012-2016)

The Shacktron, being a house mecha, looked pretty dope, but it can't be added, since it got controlled and wasn't sentient/robotic itself.

Mentioned it nevertheless, in case you want to see a house battling.

For anyone liking creepy, slightly disturbing animation movies, this Spanish movie is potentially a fun watch for you. It may look goofy, but deals with dark topics (for example, a big part of the movie is set in a mental asylum where patients undergo severe shock therapy).

Characters: Hugo, unnamed hand, Betsy Rocola, unnamed compass

This series is like Finley the Fire Engine: I don't list kids vehicle shows (yet), but this series also has different characters, as shown below.

Crazy fact: Most of this series is lost media. Out of 65 (known) episodes, only 8 have been retrieved (available on YouTube).

Oh and Axel is left out in the title despite being just an as important character as the other two...? Justice for the poor dump truck.

Characters: main characters (Scoop, Axel, Doozie), Spritz, Jacques, Long John

TV series: Scoop and Doozie (1999-2003)

These tools can get a job done... and will get the job undone (or worse) just as fast if you don't show them a little respect, so better give them the recognition they deserve before you'll regret it!

The Ghoul Tools are Beetlejuice's sentient (power) tools. The one in the image down below are those that had faces and voice lines, but there are more of them seen fixing or wrecking in other scenes.

Characters: Ghoul Tools [hacksaw, monkey wrench, jackhammer, drill]

Episode: A Dandy Handy Man (1991)
