Trivia:
The movie is meant to take place in fictional Winslow Corners, Ohio, and the producers made an effort to represent Northeastern Ohio accurately: Alan rides his bike past a newsstand selling The Plain Dealer, a Cleveland-centered newspaper. Later he leaves his phone number on the Globotech voice mail system and gives the Akron area code of 330. The Heartland delivery truck appears to have 90s-style Ohio license plates and is a reference to the state generally, "Ohio: The Heart of it All!"

Goofs:
Continuity: In the scene where Archer is looking at the other Gorgonites on his box, Troglacon is shown after the Gorgonites rebuilt him when he should be shown normal as Erwin designed him.

Small Soldiers is good old fashioned, Tongue-in-cheek fun.
Regular movie watchers will see many of their favorite characters, all caricatured here together as either a Commando-Elite or a Gorgonite warrior.
The names of the characters, particularly the Commando-Elite, are extremely good, and worthy of an award of their own.
Although some of the animation is a little wooden, that just seemed to add to the whole flavour of the film.
As long as you don't have any pre-conceptions about this film, and ignore the hype, you are in for some highly entertaining fun. After all, who can watch a room full of bikini-clad barbie-dolls-with-attitude, "playing with their owner for a change", without breaking into a grin...
