The Gnome-Mobile
Northern California's majestic Redwood Forest is the scene for a chance encounter between two young children (Matthew Garber, Karen Dotrice) and Jasper (Tom Lowell), a two-foot-high gnome. Jasper has been desperately searching for a suitable bride to please Knobby (Walter Brennan), his 900-year-old grandfather. Surprised and delighted with their find, the children agree to help Jasper with his predicament -- a problem that develops into a wild chase when an enterprising showman (Sean McClory) discovers the gnomes and quickly masterminds a kidnapping plot!

The Gnome-Mobile Reviews
Great for the entire family. This is a true classic movie, a favorite of generations.
My children loved it when they were small and my grandson enjoys watching it. I've loved this movie since I was a very little girl.
The children (Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber) are pretty good here. are also top-notch. and when Jasper sees Elizabeth (she had wandered into the woods a little) he decides to break one of the gnome rules and show himself to her. Once there, the three of them go for a car ride (in Grandfather's beautiful old Rolls Royce) deep into the forest for a picnic lunch. maybe not quite as good as they are in "Mary Poppins" but adorable and fun none-the-less.
especially a girl gnome who Jasper can marry. Made shortly after "Mary Poppins" was made, "The Gnome Mobile" stars "The Mary Poppins Kids" Jane and Michael Banks, who here are Elizabeth and Rodney. Walter Brennan plays the grandfather (he also plays Knobby the old gnome) and he is excellent. Elizabeth hurries and fetches Rodney and her grandfather, they meet Knobby, and the five of them then embark on a mission (in Grandfather's Rolls Royce, which Elizabeth now calls "The Gnome Mobile") to find other gnomes. But "The Gnome Mobile" is sort-of a hidden gem. It's a fun journey. could she help.
actors and actresses who have only small parts in the movie. Elizabeth and Rodney are British sister and brother who fly into San Francisco to visit their very wealthy American businessman grandfather. The ending, I will say, is a very happy one. There's only one song in the movie. gnomes. the blindness of greed, the innocence of children, the Irish, and.
The bit players. He (Jasper) has heard that other gnomes may be living in other far away forests. Living in that forest are two gnomes (little people): Jasper and his grandpa Knobby. and that is when the fun starts. The two gnomes are very worried that they may in fact be the last gnomes in existence. "The Gnome Mobile" is a fun light-hearted look at.
They encounter some trouble along the way, but it's not too too bad, and it does bring out some more fun. a good fun movie to watch for those who happen to find it. but it's a good one. And the special effects do a good job of making the gnomes look like they really are only a foot tall.
Was very nice to find this on Amazon. Very pleased with how easy and fast.
As usual Walter Brennan does a tremendous job. This is a good movie to instill forest conservation into young and old alike.
