Quotes

Narrator: Look around you. There are many things to see, that some would say could never be. These things I know. It's true and I will tell you so. They are there to see, if you believe. Trolls and wizards and fairy kings, birds that talk and fish that sing. And if your heart is true, then you will find them, too. In every wish and dream and happy home, you will find a kingdom of the Gnomes.

User Reviews

Interesting to say the least...

It's funny. I am not sure if this show is still on in reruns now, but my kids used to watch Nick Jr all the time when they were little and this show was on then. It's cute little kid fare. It would keep them entertained while I did house chores. Funny thing is, it was created in another country (Anime or French animation) and translated and dubbed. As such, there are many vocal, but not verbal, expressions of emotions. One time when the kids were watching it and I was cleaning, I had to keep checking in on them, because without the visual, it almost sounds like a porno film.
