Small Soldiers - Making Of

“Size doesn’t matter.”

This is nostalgic

Now, in an idea I had for a 2020s reboot (this new film being titled Small Soldiers: War and Pieces), we actually get to learn a bit more about the background of each faction in this war of action figures:

The Commando Elite: These small soldiers originated from a popular animated show on the Toon Time TV network (Toon Time being a parody of Cartoon Network). This show stars the Commando Elite as they protect the world from the evil Silver Eye (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), the leader of the terrorist group VIPER (VIPER is a parody of COBRA from the G.I. Joe franchise, while the Silver Eye herself is a parody of Ernst Blofeld from the 007 movies). In the show, the Silver Eye is known for creating monstrous creatures in her laboratory. We do actually see an episode of the show at the beginning of the movie when Gil Mars, Irwin Wayfair, and Larry Benson see it in the boardroom.

Gorgonites: These plastic peace-lovers came from a series of best-selling videogames called 'Legends of Archer'. These games play like a T for Teen version of God of War, and, as the title implies, these games star everybody's favorite catlike alien Archer (voiced by Keanu Reeves) defending Gorgon from multiple intergalactic threats, whilst also attempting to uncover the secrets of the mythical Gorgongian Giants, godlike beings said to be the progenitors of the modern Gorgonite. I even gave Archer a wife named Bladera(voiced by Elizabeth Olsen). We also actually see someone play testing a Legends of Archer game during the same business meeting.

Now, given that the Silver Eye frequently makes monsters, and that the Gorgonites don't know what humans are, this, of course, leads to the promised toy war. But the Commandos don't get very far in their goal of total Gorgonite extinction before Alan (Finn Wolfhard) chucks them into a garbage crusher using a hockey stick, and Christy (Millie Bobby Brown) starts up the machine, crushing the Commandos, both figuratively and literally(along with the 200+ Gwendy and James dolls the Commandos had conscripted).

Small Soldiers, 1998's Mighty Joe Young and Star Wars The Phantom Menace and Lake Placid and Deep Blue Sea and The Iron Giant are my favorite movies

Who was missing is Telly Savalas

I love this film. I wish they would release life sized replicas and an uncut version of the movie before they made it into a kids film.

Why isn't there an interview for phil hartman everyone else had one

Christina ricci who would have thought

I love when movie industrys try something different, when I was a kid I loved this movie

I still really want a Commando Elite spin-off with the toys going to war!

I wish we could stop depending so much on cgi these days. Practical effects just hold up much longer.
