Javad-tk This is an enjoyable movie which has a good storytelling and entertaining structure. Especially, this is good for children. If you watch this seriously, may be you don't like it. Yes, there is no horror, no mystery, no thriller, but the plot is very straightforward and engaging. Although the genre is fantasy, the characters are believable. Also, the acts are good. The direction and the camera are employed to storytelling not for panache or something. Grandstanding is really one of the somber problems of modern movies. Altogether, this is a worth watching movie. Take it easy and enjoy.My score:7.6 out of 10

MARIO GAUCI A good many of Walt Disney Productions' live-action movies would regularly turn up on Italian TV as I grew up, including this one – which I missed. That said, while it's well enough liked by authoritative sources such as the late Leslie Halliwell and Leonard Maltin, the film is only average in my view; maybe I'd have enjoyed it more had I caught it during my childhood.The plot (from an Upton Sinclair book) is simply too juvenile for one to be engrossed in it – with perhaps the corniest element of all being the belated introduction of romance among the gnomes. Even so, it's all reasonably pleasant and colorful – though the special effects haven't worn the passage of time all that well.Veteran character actor Walter Brennan appears in a dual role – a lumber tycoon (who ends up in a lunatic asylum when he sets detectives on the trail of missing gnomes) and one of the latter, an elderly curmudgeon; Ed Wynn is the head of another of the species' communities; Sean McClory, then, is the villainous owner of a freak-show (who kidnaps a couple of the little people for his act).In the long run, Disney fared much better with this particular kind of whimsy in DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE (1959) – which, incidentally had the same director…and it's doubly disappointing given that Stevenson, Wynn, the two child actors (Matthew Garber and Karen Dotrice) and the songwriters (the title tune by the Sherman brothers ain't no classic) had all previously worked on MARY POPPINS (1964)!

jiminasabadu I saw it years ago, before BETA system was erased from the earth, and I still sing the songs from time to time. It is like a weird cross between Mary Poppins, Herbie and fragile rock. It was really amusing and as I said, with some catchy songs. Maybe the special effects are a little bit old-fashioned, but I am sure it is now as charming as it was then. I remember, maybe, the good being too god and the bad guys being too bad but, after all, it's supposed to be for kids!It's also one of those real image movies from Disney, a little bit forgotten, I don't know why. When home video was striking the world, many titles as this one were released, and now with the DVD explosion, some interesting movies, just like this one, seems to be passed by. I think this is much better than "lizzie McGuire" and all that "princess Disney" stuff and things like that. At least, a movie like "the gnome-Mobile", does say something, not just "hey! be cool and buy clothes" when you read between the lines. Jimina Sabadú

urthmothr We are both Walter Brennan fans and fantasy lovers. We remember this fondly from years ago...how we would like to own it! We thought it was Disney because it involved two Disney child actors (from Mary Poppins). Does anyone know whether it has ever been released to video?
