...and back in 1967, when you watched a movie, you watched it at your local walk-in theatre or drive-in, and wouldn't be able to see it again until it would be broadcast years later on TV (if it ever was!); so you had nothing but your memories of it, once its theatrical run was over. Except for a few select films that got the rare "re-release" in theatres, that was it! Now, of course, we all take it for granted that newly released feature films will be available for purchase and home viewing within months or even weeks after they're in the theatres. But as a nine-year old boy, having my own personal copy of a beloved film like The Gnome-Mobile was something I could only dream of. So, I'm happy to say I now own a digital copy in HD, and along with many other old favorites in my collection, it can be a nice trip down memory lane whenever the urge strikes. Now that's what I call progress! And while The Gnome-Mobile is clearly a product of its time, and in a few spots possibly would be at odds with our current PC standards, it is nevertheless a good-natured child-friendly adventure that I'll bet will resonate with the kids of today, be they nine, or ninety-nine!
