Does Anyone Remember 'The Wisdom Of The Gnomes'?


Does anyone remember a show similar to 'David The Gnome' called 'The Wisdom Of The Gnomes'? It was a show from 1987. I actually thought it was much better than 'David The Gnome' but I can't find the show mentioned on this website. I'm from Northern Ireland and it is still being shown on RTÉ in the mornings.

SUre!!

I do remember that show. I am from Spain... And here it was called "La llamada de los Gnomos" (Something like "THe Calling of the Gnomes").

It was about KLAUS, a Gnome who was a judge. He went around the world flying on a wild swan (I can't remember it's name).

He and his assistant (Something like "Oscar", I don't remember), who was drawing all the time, traveled around the world to help GNOMES from different countries solving their problems (with animals and Trolls).

I don't know why there is no reference to this series on IMDb.

By the way, the cartoons are Spanish (such as "Dogtanian", which was coproduced with Japan, I believe... Or like "Willy Fog Travels Around the Earth"). But the ORIGINAL Gnome Universe was created by Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen.
The drawings of Poortvliet are amazing! He is my favourite artist... Check out his books "Gnomes" and "Secrets Of The Gnomes".

The swan was called Henry. Also, his assistant was called Danny.

Yeah!! Those were their names... Thanks.

yeah but i can find much info on the programme on here or on google. i wish i could see it again as i miss it. i loved watching it as a child.

I've been searching for the end theme but I can't find it anywhere. I loved the end theme as a child and I would do anything to hear it again. Does anyone know where I can find it or does anyone have it? I will be ever so greatful if you can give it me. Thanks.

For now the opening theme is on this website http://www.soundamerica.com/sounds/themes/Cartoons/T-Z/.

The best webpage for Wisdom if the gnomes is one this website complete with an episode guide. http://67.102.60.185/show.php?show_id=3956.

SPOILER










Does anyone know exactly what happens to Klaus and Danny in the final episode. It just says that they leave.

reply

Hi! I just watched the final episode there last week (Friday 26th August). Klaus was thinking about his late wife Agnus, who was killed trying to protect the animals who lived in the forest. At the end of the episode, Danny and his wife told Klaus that they were expecting their first child. Also, Klaus told the viewers to still take care of the planet. Hope that helps!

clairehughes47,is there a way you can send me the end theme? I would do anything to get it. If you can I'll give you my e-mail address.

Thanks for the info. One question Do Klaus and Dany go on another journey?

reply

I don't have the theme tune and I've been trying for ages to get it as well. I'm glad I could help you with the final episode. They don't go on another adventure in the final episode, they just stay in the forest.

reply

Thanks anyway. So In my opionion "Wisdom of the gnomes" had a way better ending than "David the gnome" anyday of the week.

Does anyone remember the cartoon on nickeldeon that had a small unicorn with pink hair and a white body, and he would try to fight evil (for ex. a wizard)???

reply

Wisdom of the gnomes does have a section on this website now but the title is in Spanish. It's in the recomdations part of David the Gnome.

reply

It wasn't a Nick show, but that sounds a lot like Unico, which aired on Disney a lot back in the 80's-early 90's. The Unico movies are movies, not a series. I loved them!

reply

UNICO!!! I remember that!

It is on IMDB at this link under the name La llamada de los gnomos: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0476099/

If anyone can figure out how to add the name in English so that it comes up easily in searches, please do so.
