Movie synopsis

A toy company believes it is onto something when it employs the latest government military technology in a series of action figures, enabling them to talk. They underestimate the power of the special micro chips they've employed, however, as the two opposing sides of the toy line start thinking for themselves and engaging in real combat. The Commando Elite (belligerent war toys) vow to wipe out the Gorgonites (kindhearted misfit fantasy creature figures) in a suburban neighborhood. A young boy, with the help of the kind Gorgonites, must protect his home and family from the Commandos. Listen for the voices of Spinal Tap (Mike McKean, Chris Guest, and Harry Shearer) as Gorgonite Voices as well as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Christina Ricci (as the voices of evil, mutated Barbie dolls).

"...Striking effects..."
Sight and Sound - Jonathan Romney (10/01/1998)

"...First-rate special effects..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (07/31/1998)

"...The voice talent here is extraordinary....The figures themselves are impressive accomplishments..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (07/10/1998)

"...SMALL SOLDIERS does boast quite a bit of ingenuity and humor. The animation is excellent, as is the figure design, and the voice cast alone is worth the price of admission..."
Box Office - Christine James (09/01/1998)

"...The special effects, a mix of computer animation, animatronics, and live action, are an advanced version of what Dante achieved on 1984's GREMLINS..."
Premiere - Christine Spines (07/01/1998)

"...GREMLINS director Joe Dante achieves a great balance between playfulness and maliciousness here..."
Total Film - Phil Hoad (05/01/2000)

Small Soldiers

Created: 26/07/10
Small Soldiers is a great movie, my son (11) loves it and I really enjoyed it too. It has great animation and fun performances by Jay Mohr and David Cross.The voice talents in this film are also quite good, with plenty of big names to go around including Tommy Lee Jones, Frank Langella, Ernest Borgnine, Jim Brown, Bruce Dern, George Kennedy, Clint Walker, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Christina Ricci. I think any fan of 80's Gremlin type comedy would enjoy this movie.

The movie.

Created: 01/08/10
This was one of my best best best childhood movie I ever watched. I grew up watching this movie mostly every weekend. I really admire army procedures and their gears. Maybe that's why I love so much this movie that now I probably will join the army. But Not sure about it. Any ways, this is a great family movie to watch with mom and dad and all of your brothers and sisters. Probably teh sisters will start hating soldier toys because in this movie the commandos elite team will transform Barbie dolls into Frankenstein. Over all, excellent movie!!!

awesome dvd

Created: 07/08/08
I searched for this dvd for a long time so when I saw it on Ebay I had to buy it. When I first saw this movie years ago, I really liked the animation style of the soldiers and other toy characters. The plot was a nice twist too since everyone usally assumes the soldiers are the 'good guys' so it was a real twist on the norm. I think alot of the younger kids will like it.

Small Soldiers....Great action movie for ENTIRE family!

Created: 19/03/09
This is a great movie for the entire family! It is not boring for the adults, and it has just the right level of action/adventure for the little ones! It is the perfect DVD to put into my 8 year old son's Easter basket! I watched it alone late one night and immediately wanted to buy a copy for my son! I cannot believe I'm just now seeing it for the first time, it was made in 1998!
There's NO profanity or anything of that nature! Grab yourself a copy!
