A Gnome Named Gnorm

About This Movie

A Gnome Named Gnorm, directed by Stan Winston, has this quirky charm that blends adventure with comedy in a way that feels fresh for the early '90s. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that's part of its charm, I think. The story - a young cop, played by this earnest actor, teaming up with a gnome who’s more than just a cute sidekick - is really distinctive. The practical effects, which are a hallmark of Winston’s work, give Gnorm a tangible presence that CGI just doesn't capture. The themes of friendship and trust shine through, despite the bizarre premise. It’s not your usual family fare, and that odd mixture gives the film a unique tone, making it a curious piece to revisit.
