Gnomes.....they are a funny little beast. Little creatures you put in your garden for some god knows what reason. They can be damn creepy with their eyes....and their beards.... ad this is what our lead character Chloe feels on meeting the titular characters of the latest animation to come out of Netflix and is brought to us by Director Peter Lepeniotis, the man who directed The Nut Job.
Gnome Alone follows young teenager Chloe (Voiced by Becky G - 2017's Power Rangers) who, after moving into a new town and a new home, is dragged into a mystic battle of Garden Gnomes and very hungry inter-dimensional creatures called Troggs who are drawn to Chloe's house after she unwittingly releases them. Chloe must retrieve the key to closing the gap between the two worlds by joining forces with a team of Gnomes and her next door neighbour Liam (Voiced by Drake and Josh actor Josh Peck) before the world is destroyed.

With an okay voice cast and animation Gnome Alone is a film the whole family can enjoy. The Gnomes save the film throughout with some laugh out loud moments and a spot on story for their characters, but what lets the film down the the character of Chloe. She is very irritating, which is indeed her character trait as she tries to navigate a new school and make friends with the shallow popular girls, but her character as a whole is off putting. As a viewer you route more for Liam, the shy geeky boy who is just trying to be Chloe's friend. You can see how nice the lad is when she makes friends with the gnomes more or less straight away, becoming a warrior along side them as they fight off the Troggs.
Gnome Alone is a watchable little film. It is no where near a brilliant film however on saying that this is a film made and will be very much enjoyed by a younger audience. The run time could have been cut down by ten or fifteen minutes in the middle as the film does suffer from the dreaded mid story slump but as Netflix animation goes I can see more films being released along side this and Next Gen (check it out a great animation) and I can't wait to see what is next.
This a a nice little family watch which is worth a try.
