Trivia:
The piranha fish next to Alan's computer is a reference to Piranha (1978), also directed by Joe Dante. moreGoofs:
Crew or equipment visible: When Christy Fimple and Alan are in his father's toy store after the Commandos destroyed it you can see a crew member's in the reflection of one the display cases. moreQuotes:
Ralph, Clean Room Technician: The chips are a little sensitive to EMP.Irwin Wayfair: EMP?
Ralph, Clean Room Technician: Electomagnetic Pulse. As in the kind generated by the detonation of a nuclear device? I doubt that the toy industry has become quite that competitive.

BAD NEWS - Typical Hollywood family in that the film features stupid parents, annoying teens who are too worldly for their age and think they get no respect from their parents. Also, there are the usual anti-military messages and anti- Republican cheap shots. The story has The Commandos (military, which means bad guys, of course) against the Gorgonites (peaceful, different-looking creatures.)
GOOD NEWS - A very clever animated-live action computer animated film (at least for 1998) in which the toys come to life and look real. Once the action starts, it's a very interesting story with fun special-effects, some good, funny dialog and some neat references to past films. Sometimes it's tough to catch them all.
