[i]The Heartland Toy Company is acquired (and renamed Heartland Playsystems) by the multinational conglomerate GloboTech Industries, a division of Gannett Company which is expanding from manufacturing high-quality military hardware. GloboTech CEO, Gil Mars, pays a visit to Heartland to meet with Larry Benson and Irwin Wayfair concerning their newest projects, which involve the creation of intelligent, interactive toys. Irwin introduces the Gorgonites, creatures built for educational purposes, but Gil is more interested in Larry's Commando Elite, a group of soldiers. After Gil watches an advert for the Commando Elite, he tasks Irwin and Larry to develop actual live-action toys capable of 'playing back'. Although originally not interested in the Gorgonites, he allows them to be incorporated into the line of toys as the Commando Elite's enemies. Gil also orders drastic shortcuts in the production time, which eliminates testing periods for product safety. That night, Larry searches through GloboTech's hardware online database and decides to use an intelligent AI munitions integrated circuit to power the toys, the X-1000, which are put on production. Unfortunately, as it later turns out, these chips tend to enhance their basic programming, making them capable of evolving but also prone to over-dedication in their basic pursuits.[/i]
[b]Gorgonites
Archer, voiced by Frank Langella, is the wise and brave leader of the Gorgonites. As his name suggests, Archer is armed with a crossbow attached to his left arm.
Ocula, voiced by the uncredited Jim Cummings, a shy one-eyed creature. It can only speak in whistles unlike the others, and does not seem averse to put its only eye in jeopardy.
Punch-It and Scratch-It, voiced by Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest, are constant friends. Punch-It resembles a humanoid Brontotherium, while Scratch-It looks like an orange legless creature who resembles a frog and walks on her hands. She sits on Punch-It when traveling and is the only female Gorgonite.
Insaniac, a hyperactive purple creature who constantly makes jokes and puns. He spins about and speaks very quickly. His weapon is a Flail.
Slamfist, voiced by Christopher Guest, a kyphosis, is Archer's best sibling. His left hand is replaced by large boulder-like fist. He is intellectually slow, but his fist is a powerful and useful weapon.
Freakenstein, voiced by Michael McKean. Originally known as Troglokhan, Freakenstein is a Frankenstein's monster-like creature. The Gorgonites' navigator, he was disassembled by the Commandos when they wreaked havoc in the toy store and rebuilt by the Gorgonites with a radio as part of the body.
Commando Elite
Chip Hazard, voiced by Tommy Lee Jones, is the leader of the Commando Elite and the main antagonist.
Link Static, voiced by Bruce Dern, is the communication expert.
Brick Bazooka, voiced by George Kennedy, is the artillery expert.
Kip Killigan, voiced by Ernest Borgnine, is the cigar-chomping covert operation expert.
Butch Meathook, voiced by Jim Brown, is the heavyset sniper.
Nick Nitro, voiced by Clint Walker, is the demolition expert.[/b]

I had a dream once that was quite similar to the movie but involved alien robots that were half the height of the commando elite and they looked like this ([url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/gamervision_production/1244644809tB23R261Eq.jpg[/url])
and bugs that were the same size and both had fully functioning weapons.
Also the bugs look like this ([url]http://www.vfs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/star1.gif[/url])
I remember playing this really awesome video game about this when I was about 6.

I plowed through levels like they were virgins.
I used to watch this movie like everyday when I was a kid. The game was great too.
I always like a movie starring General Quaritch.

Shit, now that I think about it, there were actually two games based on Small Soldiers. One was a PS1 game where you run around as Archer and the other was a strategy type game where you lead Gorgonites or Commandos through levels filled with traps and the other faction. I was thinking of the strategy one, didn't play the PS1 version a lot.
This was my first encounter with the helicopter+Flight of the Valkyries fad.
