Summary: Utterly Charming, delightfully whimsical!!!!
Review: The Gnome Mobile is an utterly charming motion picture that is an absolute MUST for disney collecters. Like Darby O Gill- Robert Stevenson directed this for Disney as well. Remember this is 20 or thirty years before computer and compositing effects - the special effects in this movie are seamless. The movie is bright and colorfull enhanced with the Mary poppins children Karen Dotrice and Mathew Garber. It has been locked away for far too long. Aquaint your children with this delightful piece of whimsey, it has a spirit of joy and innocence that is lacking in most modern day disney films, and for that reason alone worthy of being in your collection....Truly deserving of five stars..

When it comes to tales on the wee folk Disney is often remembered for Darby O Gill, but this film is equally adorable.

Summary: a Disney childhood favourite
Review: THE GNOME MOBILE reunites Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber in their third and final Disney film pairing. Walter Brennan impresses in two roles with fine support from Tom Lowell and Sean McClory.

Elizabeth and Rodney (Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber) are spending the summer with their tycoon grandfather D.J. Mulrooney (Walter Brennan). Stopping off in the Redwood Forest for a picnic, Elizabeth meets Jasper (Tom Lowell) and Knobbie (Brennan once more), who claim to be the last surviving gnomes.

Promising to help them find more of their own kid, D.J. and the children bundle up Knobbie and Jasper, their destination the Virgin Forest many miles away. A stop at a motel blows their cover and the gnomes are abducted by freak show owner Horatio Quaxton (Sean McClory). The plot thickens when D.J. is thrown into a madhouse!

The story quickly rushes to it's eventful conclusion with Jasper finding the girl-gnome of his dreams (Cami Sebring).

Too bad the movie's in full-screen but never mind. Alas the Disney people are doing this with more and more frequency in their back-catalogue titles.

An entertaining tale with the MARY POPPINS kids! Based on the book by Upton Sinclair. With Ed Wynn, Maudie Prickett, Norman Grabowski, Ellen Corby, Susan Flannery and Richard Deacon.

Summary: Where is the widescreen format?
Review: The Gnome-moble is an excellent movie and a childhood favorite.
I would love to purchase this and many other Disney titles....
but they are not widescreen. Why are they not releasing these
titles the way they deserve to be shown?
Until the release of the widescreen versions, I will avoid those
pan-and-scan Disney titles.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Disney fantasy
Review: This is a good fantasy from Disney. It is a movie the entire family will enjoy. Walter Brennen plays two roles. A wealthy grand father and the head of the Gnome clan. It features your standard Disney slap stick. The kids will enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My faviorte childhood movie
Review: This is my faviorte Disney movie from my childhood. My sister and I used to love this movie so much as kids and I still do! It's the story of a grandfather who takes his grandchildren on an adventure where they meet a grandfather gnome and his grandson. The older gnome wants to find his grandson a gnome bride, so they ride along in the gnome mobile until they find the female gnomes in the woods. This movie is so cute and fun. I would recomend it to anyone who is a child at heart!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Best Ever
Review: This is one of Disney's best movies ever. Unfortunately Disney had decided to take it off the market leaving the many young children without the knowlegde of the little people in this fantasy film. Great story line.... Great cast..... I am glad I am one of the fortunate ones that own this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic disney movie
Review: This movie is a classic. I grew up watching this film with my brother and consider it one of my favorites. you should really check it out even if you aren't a kid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a great film!
Review: walter Brennan is charming in this tale as the old man who sees and befriends the Gnomes, and ends up stealing them. In the process he gets locke dup., because people think he is insane, as he cleaverly escapes. Also Richard Deacon is very funny and charming in it as well, as one of the guys trying to steal the little people. There's a neat chase scene, and a wonderful rooantic scene with the male and female gnomes dancing in the end, with beautiful fairylike costumes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Silly but Fun
Review: 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.
