David
The Gnome

The World of David the Gnome, originally titled David el Gnomo, is a Spanish animated television series based on the children's books The Gnomes and The Secret Book of Gnomes, by the Dutch author Wil Huygen and illustrator Rien Poortvliet.

The series presents the gnomes as a kind species, of 15 centimeters of height, and between 250 and 300 grams of weight depending on gnome body mass.

A gnome's lifespan is exactly 400 years. However, there are a few cases of gnomes living past 400 years. One example is a couple in the Balkans living 550 years.

They live in pairs in comfortable caves or holes under trees, in the company of a pair of mice.

Their diet is vegetarian. They are helped by the animals of the forest when traveling long distances or when they need to arrive quickly at a specific location.

Gnomes work in various ways to repair the damage inevitably caused by humans. They also have the power of telepathy and mind control.

Their main enemies are the trolls, malevolent and clumsy creatures who always make trouble for the other inhabitants of the forest, as well as gnome poachers.

Actually, this series contains researched information about nature, and provides a look at a simpler life most children don't get to see very often.

If you're a little fed up with 7 year olds carrying cell phones and ipods, get them to watch this.
