Lord do I love practical effects. Look at the effort that goes into making these scenes.. Nothing but respect. This movie doesn't get the love it deserves
I would like to see a remake of the movie. But not polished and no better computer animations. No. Just keep the style and make it unique. I think kids nowadays would like it as well as I liked it in 1998. my 2 cents.
I'll tell you what they should do with this series, they should try to remake this series, and use this kind of animatronic technology and great interaction with the toy and the player that is like the toy actually had real intelligence instead of artificial intelligence (without the wires, of coarse), it can be made by hasbro, have all 6 of the Gorgonites and all 6 of the Commandos that is just like from the movie, and it can be made to celebrate the movie's 15th anniversary what do you think, would that be a good idea for a toyline?
Small Soldiers is my favorite childhood movie, I'm really glad you shared this clip! I KNEW it used small animatronics, and to me that's way more amazing than CGI

Loved this movie as a kid. Haven't watched it in a while but now I want to hunt it down on DVD and watch it again. I remember I had the toys that they sold to promote the movie. I would wait till my Mom went to bed, go out into the hall, set them all up as if they were fighting each other, and then the next day when she woke up and walked into the hallway they would scare the hell out of her. Ha Ha. Ahhhhh good times.

A few years ago when first I watched this movie on tv in my country, I was very impressed with the puppets which were so perfectly sculpted with characteristic looks and shapes by First Class Artists / Sculptors, and also their movements in the movie, they were so life-like. Thank You to all the people involved in coming up with this superb puppet movie. Hope to see more of this kind of First Class Movie.

My kids loved this movie when they were little and my younger ones now also love it!! Seeing how much fun they had making this film is so nice and wholesome I really wished movies were given the same treatment nowadays
This video. This video right here is just bloody incredible! It's just so brilliant. You guys are truly amazing. Practically right here is history in the making! I loved this film as a kid. Keep up the work guys!!
I am so impressed, I remembered this movies and watched it in Netflix again like a year ago, I keep wondering how they did the effects, the movie looks so good, it is ahead of its time. Why they stopped using practical effects? Now this days everything is so much cgi.
No wonder the effects still hold up today. I was convinced that the majority of the effects were created using some form of CGI for the longest time. Loved this film growing up. :) I even had a film-accurate size Chip Hazard.
This was film finished about half an hour ago in the UK. Like everyone else in the comments, this was a childhood film of mine and I do not know if it is the same in the US but over here it is on at least once a month on the TV. I always wondered how they made the characters move, it said in the credits it involved puppets of some kind but i was not expecting this. This looks amazing!
This type of animation looks much better than stop-motion. Stop-motion is good when it's done *perfectly*, and if done sloppily, looks very fake. (example of good stop motion would be Ray Harryhausen's work). Unfortunately it appears that stop motion would take much more time and isn't nearly as flexible as this method when it comes to animating practical effects/props.
You know what they could have done, a spin-off of the movie based on the conflict between the Gorgonites and the Commando Elite. My idea of the storyline (somewhat loosely based on the PS1 game) is this; _The World of Gorgon is a peaceful place of strange natural wonders, and great spiritual power, with the Gorgonites worshipping the Ancients. Of course, when faced with adversity, the Gorgonites will fight. Archer is a Gorgonite warrior recognized for his boundless bravery and noble leadership, and is named their Emissary by the Ancients._ _However, this peace is not to last. The human race from the planet Earth, driven by greed, sought to take over Gorgon as a colony and invaded. The Commando Elite, lead by Major Chip Hazard, is the cream of the crop within the humans' military forces, and they fight to destroy the Gorgonites. Now, Archer must gather his fellow Gorgonite warriors and fight back against the Commando Elite and reclaim their home from the human race, as the final battle between the two determined leaders draw closer. One thing, however, is certain about this war...THERE WILL BE NO MERCY._ How's this, you guys?
This is awesome. I bet its hard not to make noises like you do as a kid when punching, kicking, and flying when your puppeteering. :D Thanks for the upload I loved this movie as a kid.
This was probably a better fight between the two than they had in the movie! lol I know it was one sided for a reason, but Archer couldn't even get at least one good hit in!
Me niego a llamarlos efectos anticuados, es arte cinematográfico en estado puro, si no fueran perezosos y codiciosos, las compañías podrían haber hecho películas con aniamtronics con tiempo y dedicación y tendríamos clásicos modernos.
Please show this film again on RCTI INDONESIA. In collaboration with the RCTI INDONESIA contract, this film is really cool. Every episode is tense... Salute, the director is really cool. I love this film.
I love this scene archer fight chip in toy store in back room for cut scene tim shows up in back he hears gorgonite you are freak You will be pulverize he saw timmy and shoot the fore head
God I've been looking at prop owners and stuff a lot lately and I just keep thinking to myself why aren't movie props like this played with more or used for fan films. If I had personal access to something like Archer and chip I would definitely be doing something fun and faithful to the movie. I would also love to see the shells for every single body part of both of these figures 3D scanned and placed up online for people to access whether for free or for a small fee so that way maybe custom action figure creators can finally build life sized versions of these guys. I'm surprised after all these different companies out there like side show and whatnot that we haven't seen like a hundred or $200 replica prop of these guys floating about. I'm positive there's a market for screen accurate action figures of these guys!
I would like see a second part this movie on my chillhood seen this movie more or less 100 ever. My favourite toy is Comandante Chip Hazard 😁👍🏼Excuse me I'm learning English

Umm... no improved animations, no additional polish... just watch the original movie, then?
I'll tell you what they should do with this series,
they should try to remake this series, and use this kind of animatronic technology and great interaction with the toy and the player that is like the toy actually had real intelligence instead of artificial intelligence (without the wires, of coarse),
it can be made by hasbro, have all 6 of the Gorgonites and all 6 of the Commandos that is just like from the movie, and it can be made to celebrate the movie's 15th anniversary
what do you think, would that be a good idea for a toyline?
They should do a sequel!
If they did a sequel and no disrepecg to Phil Hartmann character but they'd probably have to kill him off cause he died in real life
TheSchwarzKater yup
Even with the puppeteers in the background their movements still looks so real.
Even with puppeteers in the back ground their move ments still looks so real .

IKR. That's exactly how toys-that-can-move like characters should be, & I wish such a thing would be done for today's movies too 😁
Me too they really got to do a sequel that way they can still continue with these traditions of doing CGI and puppeteering.

Stan:"getting as close as we can to the characters being alive" miss you man your company is in good hands your trained them well

Technology wise, this movie was ahead of its time. Not only the practical effects were great, but even the CGI looked really good.

I used to have Small Soldiers on VHS! IT was my favorite movie! Then a few days ago I found the box... and it was empty! :'( RIP
+[HSC]Battleboy43 Maybe Archer came and took it so there was no record of them ever being "alive".
Daniel Son ... ARCHER YOU F**K!
+[HSC]Battleboy43 aww that sucks.. :/ Still have mine, safe and sound thank christ.
***** Play it in 240p to get the VHS experience.
Poorly Made Cornbread gustavo que ganha os bonecos de presente pra ele
So cool to see the puppeteers practice the movements
My kids loved this movie when they were little and my younger ones now also love it!! Seeing how much fun they had making this film is so nice and wholesome I really wished movies were given the same treatment nowadays
"Open a can of whoop ass on you!" Haha 98' when WWF was fun to watch.
they are having way to much fun, i like it.

Combinations of many techniques, including CGI. Great puppets!

I gotta watch this movie again and relive this magic
That is great work. I love this movie it's one of my favourite childhood movies and of the 90s.
There are some "big persons" behind those small soldiers 😉
One of my favorite movies as a kid.
Oh my gosh, that was totally awesome.
0:30 OMG that little kick lmao

They really need to do a sequel otherwise I have to do this myself.
*Would CGI have the same 'look'?*
@@jsl151850b sure there will be cgi and puppeteering .
just watched the movie five min ago and then got hooked watching this
!!!!
Woah, this is some great behind the scenes action of one of my childhood fav films. Thanks for the upload!
thanks for sharing Stan Winston School
Always loved this movie
I remember these toys sold out like hot cakes I could never get one.
This movie was just too cool when I saw it. Make it a reality
I'm so happy this a thing

you guys have the most fun job ever.
Love this movie.
We need a sequel or prequel! Also where can we get these models created? They could make a fortune selling these figures.
I loved this movie.
Very nice
awesome, i never expected that method of controlling the limbs.
This type of animation looks much better than stop-motion. Stop-motion is good when it's done *perfectly*, and if done sloppily, looks very fake.

Unfortunately it appears that stop motion would take much more time and isn't nearly as flexible as this method when it comes to animating practical effects/props.
Please post more Small Soldiers videos. This is fantastic! :)
amazing yall! loved it! wish there was more of these small soldiers haha great movie
I can see how this career can be entertaining.
Thanks for sharing
Man, that's awesome! I always thought it looked to real to be all cgi in that movie.
those are so cool! I love Archer and Major Chip. HEY! Neca should make figures of em! they would look soooo accurate!!! :D
awesome vid!
There should be a part 2 . Where they find there home. To find it being under attack. This could go on many different directions.

The ultimate action figures!!! Really nice :)
If we can get action figure to move and run like this it would be groundbreaking and I think I have a way to do it
This was awesome!!
Wow this is amazing job 😁😁
This is awesome. I bet its hard not to make noises like you do as a kid when punching, kicking, and flying when your puppeteering. :D Thanks for the upload I loved this movie as a kid.
I have two of the commandos and I'm gonna get chip soon ^^
Cobblepot27, agreed! Getting paid to stage epic toy battles is an amazing job! -Maggie
This was probably a better fight between the two than they had in the movie! lol I know it was one sided for a reason, but Archer couldn't even get at least one good hit in!
I wish movies were still made like this. I hate the overuse of cgi
Awesome! Made my day!
See the director was having fun
Oh my God I love this movie
Movie used to scare the shit out of me but i'd always watch it, i'm even considering getting a commando elite tattoo nowadays
Daaaamn, and here I thought it was all CGI. :D
Superb Puppetry in the pre complex CGI days
Persnoody, PLENTY more on the way. Our goal is to share the entire SWS archive! -Matt

That's great. I always wonder how such movies were made, particularly Small Soldiers is my favorite. But did you animate the entire movie in this way?
