I’ve never heard of Jessica Ditto or Lawn Gnomes from Outer Space, so it’s hard to tell if this is another film in the gnomexploitation genre or not. I couldn’t find any other details and the Gnome Acticing Guild (GAG) hasn’t been contacted for any talent as of yet. It’s disappointing when gnome roles go… Continue reading Wee came from outer space

I just love this wee little film and it’s even better that it features a garden gnome cameo. (No real gnomes were harmed in the making of this animation.)

I don’t look anything like Ewan McGregor, but I suppose he’ll do well as the male lead. Kate Winslet. Judi Dench. Music by Elton John. Finally Hollywood appears to have some taste.
