The Gnome-Mobile Reviews
Silly but Fun
While DJ Mulrooney is picnicking in the woods with his grandchildren, his granddaughter discovers a couple of gnomes living there, who think they are the only gnomes left in the world. JC agrees to help them find other gnomes and all kinds of complications ensue, including stolen gnomes, a stay in and escape from an insane asylum, car chases and a race to catch a "greased" gnome.
The Gnome-Mobile is a typical Disney Film from the `60's - silly but lots of fun to watch. Walter Brennan is great as both DJ and one of the gnomes, while Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber (listed in the credits as the kids from Mary Poppins) are okay as his grandchildren. It's fun spotting the character actors who seem to appear in just about every comedy made in the 60's including Richard Deacon, Frank Cady, Ellen Corby and Charles Lane. Ed Wynn appears all to briefly as a gnome.
The Gnome-Mobile is a good, fun family film.
Oh, disheartening Disney, are you listening???
I'm shopping for potential birthday gifts for my son. I've noticed that inept restoration of movies by Disney seems to be the most popular battle cry in most reviews. I did not purchase this dvd version from amazon (Though I really would like to),on the specific advice given in previous reviews. We are so lucky to live in a generation that is able to share our childhood movie memories with our own children. It's too bad that the "powers that be" at Disney clearly have no knowledge of that genre or children. Now is the time for Disney to bring back the past with some respect so that Disney can once again be respected.
