Small Soldiers (Music from the Motion Picture) and (Original Motion Picture Score) are the soundtrack and score to the 1998 film Small Soldiers directed by Joe Dante. The soundtrack is mostly hard rock songs re-recorded or remixed to feature hip-hop stars, combined with an original orchestral score by Jerry Goldsmith.
Songs heard in the film but not on the soundtrack
The soundtrack album was released on July 7, 1998 by DreamWorks SKG Records; with the exception of the final track, the album is a combination of hip-hop/rap, modern rock, classic metal and alternative grunge. The soundtrack was not much of a success, only entering the Billboard 200 at number 103.
The film's score was composed and conducted by frequent Joe Dante collaborator Jerry Goldsmith. The soundtrack album was first released in 1998 through Varèse Sarabande with nine tracks of score at a running time just over thirty-one minutes. In 2018, Varèse released a limited "deluxe" edition of the soundtrack containing the entire score, as well as alternates and additional music.[1][2]
