DisneyCember XII - 30. The Gnome Mobile (Censored)
4Never heard of this movie? Doug knows, and he's here to introduce you to all its strangeness. Let's take a look at The Gnome-Mobile.
The Gnome-Mobile is a 1967 American fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney Productions. Based on the 1936 book The Gnomobile by Upton Sinclair, it was one of the last films personally supervised by Walt Disney. Walter Brennan plays a dual role as D.J. Mulrooney, the kind-hearted lumber tycoon of Irish descent; and as the irascible 943-year-old gnome Knobby in the film, which has been described as "wavering between a comedy, a romance, a drama, and an environmental critique". The children, Elizabeth and Rodney, were played by Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, previously the Banks children in Mary Poppins (1964). Tom Lowell (who previously appeared in the 1965 Disney film That Darn Cat!), Richard Deacon, and Sean McClory round out the rest of the film's cast.
