What happens

The Gnomes' Great Adventure (La gran aventura de los gnomos) is a Spanish animated film. It was produced by BRB Internacional by re-editing together four episodes of its television series The World of David the Gnome. The film follows the life and adventures of the gnomes as they struggle to outwit enemy trolls. Two English-language dubs of the film exist, one produced by Miramax in 1987 with the original series' English dub cast and a few celebrity voices, and another produced in 1995 in the United Kingdom. Harvey Weinstein is credited as the director of the first English dub, first released in 1988. Despite the film's obscurity, some well known actors contributed to it, including Tom Bosley, Christopher Plummer, Bob Elliott, Ray Goulding, and Frank Gorshin. The British English soundtrack to the film was rerecorded in 1995 by the London-based company Village Productions, Ltd. with an entirely different voice cast. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
