If you loved Small Soldiers, try Gremlins 2: The New Batch
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Joe Dante, and they both carry the playful, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Small Soldiers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

New York City skyscrapers, a rainy night, elevator music. A high-tech office park hums, Gizmo is back, chaos erupts. Joe Dante amplifies the mayhem.
