The World of David the Gnome, originally titled David, el Gnomo (also
known as David, the Gnome), is a Spanish animated television series
based on the children's book The Secret Book of Gnomes, by the Dutch
author Wil Huygen and illustrator Rien Poortvliet. The series was
originally created in Spain by BRB Internacional (who were also
responsible for the Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds franchise and
other cartoons such as Bobobobs and Around the World with Willy Fog)
and Televisión Española, and retains a sense of the lush
illustrations of the original books. Twenty-six episodes were
produced. There was also a spin-off series entitled Wisdom of the
Gnomes.The English language dub The World of David the Gnome was
produced by Canadian studio CINAR, in association with Miramax Films.
Christopher Plummer narrated, with the voice of David the Gnome being
provided by Tom Bosley. David the Gnome aired weekdays on
Nickelodeon's fledgling Nick Junior block from 1988 to 1995.The series
presents the gnomes as a kind species, of 15 centimetres (6 inches) of
height, and between 250 and 300 grams (8 and 10 ounces) of weight
depending on gnome body mass. According to their habitat, different
types of gnomes are distinguished: the ones of the forest, the ones of
the garden, the ones of the farm, the ones of the house, the ones of
the dunes, those of Siberia, and nomadic "gypsy" gnomes (commonly
looked down upon by other gnomes). A gnome's lifespan is usually 400
years, though there is one example of a couple in the Balkans living
550 years.
