Ocula is an animatronic toy, and one of the tritagonists of Small Soldiers.

Small Soldiers (film)

Ocula is the shy, scouting, one-eyed styled Gorgonite. It can only speak in whistles unlike the others, and does not seem averse to put her only eye in jeopardy. We first see it in the film where the Gorgonites were hiding in a garbage bin trying to escape the Commando Elite .

In the Small Soldiers toy line (that was made by Hasbro which came with the buzzsaw tank and the burger king toy) are the only Ocula toys out there. Archer used Ocula as a sort of ride in the big battle against the Commando Elite before he shot his arrow. As Troglokhan hops onto a Commando vehicle, you can see Ocula scurrying around in the background, chasing the Commandos. We think of that as humorous to find the very complete, positive, precise, ultimate, definite, true, brief, exact, most not-very popular Gorgonite, chasing around the Commando Elite, such as Link Static.

Video Games

In Small Soldiers (PS1), Ocula is incorrectly stated to be female, as well as being able to shoot a laser from its eye. They are also able to be summoned by Archer in the 2-player mode of "Creepy Caverns" level.

In Small Soldiers: Squad Commander, Ocula can shoot slime balls from its eye, as well as throw objects.

Trivia

  • Ocula was originally named "Eyeball Head" during production.[3]
  • Ocula is Kirsten Dunst's (Christy Fimple) favourite Gorgonite.[3]
  • One early design for Ocula had green skin, fins, and webbing on its legs, suggesting it was once an aquatic creature. This early depiction can be seen among Irwin's boardroom meeting cut-outs at the start of the film.
  • Concept art also shows that at one point he was going to be far more humanoid, with two arms, two legs, clawed hands and feet, a long ponytail, and wearing spiked armour.[1]
