Now he's all of maybe 6 inches tall but already kicking butt and taking names -- when he's not busy being adorable.
We've also not another classic rock hit as the trailer's soundtrack -- Sweet's "Fox on the Run," from 1974. The first movie's trailer featured Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling," also from 1974, which helped propel the movie's classic hits soundtrack to the top of the Billboard album chart.
