Gurin the gnome loves to play tricks on others. In spite of several warnings he just can't help himself, and one morning he wakes up with a foxtail as punishment. Rumors of his fabulous tail soon reach the capital, and the widow Stengelføhn-Glad tries to hire private detective Solan Gundersen to find Gurin. She wants to be the envy of her upper-class friends by owning the luxurious foxtail. But Solan and his sidekick Ludvig doesn't want to see Gurin come to harm. And after refusing the assignment they set out to find the gnome before the widow does.

User Reviews

Okay

"Solan, Ludvig og Gurin med reverompa" is the most expensive Norwegian movie ever made, and is Norway`s first attempt on creating a real cartoon-movie to rival Disney. The movie is in many ways the sequel to "Flåklypa Grand Prix" because it has got many of the same characters, but this movie is nowhere near as good as that old classic. This movie has got many nice, some impressive and some rather poor drawings, the story is sometimes weak and the characters could speak with a louder voice for the audience to hear what is being said. This is a pretty good movie so go down to your library and borrow it there for free, or borrow it from a friend, or buy it(cheaply). 7/10
