Small Soldiers, a 1998 film directed by Joe Dante, is set to be re-released in a 4K Blu-ray Limited Edition Steelbook on July 22. Although it didn’t achieve the same legendary status as Toy Story, it gained a cult following for its unique plot and practical effects. The film depicts action figures with military-grade technology creating chaos in a small town. Preorders are already sold out at Walmart, but Amazon is expected to offer copies soon. A regular Blu-ray edition is available for those looking to watch it before the re-release.
"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 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."
