After seeing it on opening weekend a few weeks back, the first thing that popped into my mind was how well a translation of Army Men would fit for a quick turn around on product. Then again, they may have not had the option as I notice Hasbro is producing the game and more than likely the toys in what could have been a combined deal. Great Movie.
