When it comes to ’90s movies starring talking toys, most millennials who grew up during that era would probably think of Toy Story first. And while that’s totally understandable, Toy Story wasn’t the only memorable movie that brought toys to life. Remember Small Soldiers? The 1998 film from Paramount hasn’t had anywhere close to the lasting impact as Toy Story, but it was a fun movie in its own right. If you have nostalgia for Small Soldiers, you’ll be happy to hear that it’s getting a 4K Blu-ray edition with a steelbook case on July 22. Small Soldiers Limited Edition Steelbook includes 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray discs as well as a voucher to claim the digital version.
At the time of writing, preorders are sold out at Walmart, but we’d recommend checking the site again, as it could be restocked at any moment. Meanwhile, Amazon has yet to open preorders, but a listing is live on the site, and you should be available to order a copy soon.
Small Soldiers Limited Edition Steelbook on 4K Blu-ray
$25 | Releases July 22
For the cover, you’re getting a classic showdown stare between the action figures of the Gorgonite Archer and the Commando Elite commander Chip Hazard. The interior of the case features silhouettes of the characters and the GloboTech X1000 microprocessors that turned these toys into sentient beings.
The bonus materials haven’t been revealed for this 4K edition, but if it inherits the ones from the previous standard Blu-ray release, you can expect a DVD-era documentary on the making of Small Soldiers, a blooper reel, and a trailer. The 4K release also includes a standard Blu-ray disc, and it’s possible that’s where you’ll find the bonus features.
The 4K remaster will be displayed in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which is very close to the original 2.39:1 ratio from the 1998 release. On the audio side, Small Soldiers supports DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.
In case you aren’t able to secure the 4K edition or want to watch the movie before July, you can pick up the regular Blu-ray edition of Small Soldiers from Amazon, as it’s on sale for $10.53 (was $14).
