Director: Joe Dante Cast: David Cross, Jay Mohr, Denis Leary, Kirsten Dunst, Kevin Dunn, Phil Hartman, Ernest Borgnine, Tommy Lee Jones, George Kennedy, Dick Miller, Alexandra Wilson, Gregory Smith, Jacob Smith, Ann Magnuson, Jonathan Bouck
This partially animated film is filled with great special effects. The focus is on a set of children's toy soldiers that battle the Gorgonites, a collection of toy aliens. While this sounds like a cute children's movie, the violence could be too much for little ones.
