This is quite an interesting idea, toys that can play back, or rather go completely wrong, not be stopped and create chaos, from director Joe Dante (Gremlins). Basically Irwin Wayfair (Scary Movie 2's David Cross) and Larry Benson (Cherry Falls' Jay Mohr) pitch ideas to Hartland/Globotech boss Gil Mars (Denis Leary), and he creates the toys that can play with kids and run forever. These are The Commando Elite and The Gorgonites (the Small Soldiers) with the slogan "Everything else is just a toy". Unfortunately these toys break out and create a war, and only Alan Abernathy (Gregory Smith) and his love interest Christy Fimple (Kirsten Dunst), with the help of The Gorgonites, lead by Archer (Frank Langella), can stop the really mean Commando Elite, lead by Chip Hazzard (Tommy Lee Jones). Also starring Ann Magnuson as Irene Abernathy, The Simpsons' Phil Hartman as Phil Fimple, Ernest Borgnine as Kip Killagin, Jim Brown as Butch Meathook, Bruce Dern as Link Static, George Kennedy as Brick Bazooka, Clint Walker as Nick Nitro, This Is Spinal Tap's: Christopher Guest as Slamfist and Scratch-It, Michael McKean as Insaniac and Freakenstein and Harry Shearer as Punch-It, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Christina Ricci as Gwendy doll, and Scary Movie's Cheri Oteri as Globotech Telephone Operator. Worth watching!
