 The Gnome Mobile June 13, 2004

A wonderful story starring the same Children who appeared in Disney's Mary Popins film. The Gnome Mobile song in a delight as is the action chase sequences. My favorite scene comes near the end where the teen gnome bachelor is made up like a grease pig and all the availible maidens try to catch him. The one he falls for reminds me of Anntte Fouchello (mis-spelling of name) but don't think it was her. As the kids grandpa was responsible for many gnomes to disappear and now he try to help a pair of male gnomes for more of their kind.
 Disney is disapointing June 4, 2004

I will pass on this one and all the other Disney DVDs until they do it right, not until I get the full aspect ratios of their films on WIDESCREEN will I purchase any.
Another disappointment May 21, 2004

Of all the movies of my childhood, there are few that I remember with such fondness as "The Gnome-Mobile". I recall my Uncle picking me up, sitting between 2 of my cousins in the theater munching on Milk-Duds. It was a wonderful day, and the film was absolutely magical.
I was SO excited to see that it came out on DVD - I wanted to share it with my own children. But then I looked at the specs, saw the aspect ratio and realized that it was yet another crappy Disney pan-and-scan hack job. The question I pose is this - at what point are the people at Disney going to have the RESPECT for their treasured films to release them in their entirety? Please don't support this horrible, thoughtless effort on their part.
Where is the widescreen format? May 21, 2004

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.
Michael Eisner must go May 9, 2004

Here we go again: another great Disney classic that deserves special edition/Vault classic designation released in a terrible fullscreen hackjob presentation by a company run by corporate bean counters who care nothing about preserving the artistic integrity of their films. "The Gnome Mobile" is an incredibly entertaining film with two first-rate performances by the legendary Walter Brennan and excellent special effects (for the mid-'60's). But it's all for naught with this shabby presentation. I've already been ripped-off by the awful pan-and-scan copy of "Follow Me, Boys" I bought against my better judgment. Never again. I'm boycotting all Disney DVD's not presented in widescreen, no matter how much I love the film. I encourage everyone else to do so also.Please, Michael Eisner. You've ruined the greatest entertainment company in history. Your theme parks are going bust, your live-action films (excluding the "Freaky Friday" remake and "Pirates of the Caribbean") are awful and just about every post-Katzenburg animated film has been an absolute bust. And now you've lost Pixar, the only cash cow Disney had left. To paraphrase Robin Williams, soon you'll only have a theme park and Kermit the Frog. And if you keep up with the cut-rate DVD's you're now mass-producing, soon your video department will go bust as well. Heck, even Roy Disney hates your guts. So, how about it, Mike? Please resign. Until then, no widescreen, no dice. BOYCOTT!
