"Upon its release in 1998, Small Soldiers was described as Gremlins meets GI Joe, an apt description considering that it was directed by Joe Dante."
"The movie wasn't a box office success, but it has earned a cult following over the years and it features an incredible amount of practical effects."
"The film's plot is about a shipment of action figures embedded with military-grade computer chips, and how they cause chaos in a small town."
"The twist here is that the 'good guy' action figures--gung-ho toys that are a pastiche of GI Joe--cause chaos and destruction in their efforts to eliminate their rivals, the pacifistic Gorgonites."
