Memorable, crazy movie

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

There are a lot of things i used to watch as a kid that just haven't stood the test of time .Thankfully, Gnomes isn't one of them .The story ,while basic , has a nice,warm,easy going vibe to it and the characters are likable , whether they be evil trolls and kind gnomes.The character designs and backgrounds are incredibly detailed and add realism to the story book trappings.What i liked in particular were the little bits where the story would take a break to show these beautifully painted pictures of the gnomes getting on with their day to day lives accompanied by narration explaining what the got up to .Gnomes is a great cartoon thats easy on the eye and is as gently entertaining as it always was.

In the government state TV monopoly, this easily outclassed most Christmas reruns and became a classic for a whole generation, much like Ivanhoe did just a couple of years later."Bränn, bränn" "Mamma, jag har mejat ner en hel tomtearmé"And also the amazing slow walk of the trolls over the Bridge. Actually, I think LOTR had the same problem (just walk to the side to avoid the freaking flood, damn it)... but here it is much worse. Also, the trolls seemed pretty helpless against the superior intelligence of the gnomes, but that is perhaps not a worry with a children TV thing. Anyway, it is great fun and now my daughter is enjoying it as well :-)

This is a beautifully animated film that I haven't seen for over 15 years as my little brother taped over it! I remember it was very funny and colourful, some of it was quite psychedelic and hazily dreamlike. There was a 70s style soundtrack that made me cringe a bit- even back then- but secretly I loved the songs! I remember a Siberian gnome who came to attend the wedding (...and it's a fa-la-la-la sing-a- long wedding day...) who was very funny, got drunk a lot and fell about. The disgusting enemies, the trolls, were brilliant characters- hated everything, even each other- and I remember one troll looking into her cracked up mirror, tying her hair back with a worm and saying in a haggish voice, "just beautifying myself". Loved it- want it- where can I get it!? If anyone has a copy for sale or knows of where I can get it please let me know, Thankyou.

Brilliant comedy for most ages an extremely funny little film about Gnomes facing an invasion of Trolls when they are preparing a wedding. I have only experienced it with Swedish soundtrack, but it really fun...
