| The Gnome-Mobile : 2 of 5 | |

 I added this cute little Disney film to my Netflix queue soon after watching Darby O'Gill and the Little People, since I was so impressed with the effects. Unfortunately, The Gnome-Mobile only includes a fraction of those effects - most of the time there are only two gnomes on-screen, unlike the amazing scenes in Darby O'Gill. It's still a fun movie, though - just nothing spectacular in any way. Walter Brennan does an amazing job in a dual role as both the millionaire grandfather and the old gnome, Knobby - his voice and mannerisms are so different that it's tough to tell it's the same person! The film also features the Mary Poppins kids (and they are even billed that way in the credits), and it's nice to see them a little older (the girl seems much more refined and the boy seems a little more awkward). After the kids break their grandpa out of the nut house, the big final number involves the sexy girl gnomes chasing around Knobby's son to be their husband. The whole thing is a little goofy and goes on a little long, but at least there are some more fun old-school effects to enjoy. I guess I was just expecting more, but I still enjoyed the movie!
