The Manhattan Mercury A5 Tuesday, November 11, 1980 GBS lets gnomes roam tonight TolQVision log By JERRY BUCK Moore's attention, and Zander was treats birds," Zander said. "It's just a AP Television Writer LOS ANGELES-This story is about woodland gnomes, which you shouldn't confuse with dune gnomes, or garden, farm, house or Siberian gnomes. And never, never, should you confuse a gnome with a troll. Trolls are much bigger and have nasty dispositions, while gnomes are peace-loving. What we're talking about are those outrageous small folk first brought to light in the international best-seller, Gnomes, by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet.

Now the Gnomes spring to life under the direction of animator Jack Zander. CBS broadcasts the hour-long special tonight. Tom Moore, president of Tomorrow Entertainment, purchased the television rights to the book. "CBS didn't want the run-of-the-' mill limited animation that is the mark of so many specials," said Zander. "So they put a lot of extra money into it to make it the best picture they could." Zander had never before directed or produced an animated feature Film.

At the end of World War II, instead of returning to the animation shops of Hollywood, he set up his own in New York. He became known for Tony the Tiger, the Jolly Green Giant and Mr. Clean. He was the man who brought animation to the television commercial. Those commercials attracted signed to bring Gnomes to life.

"We had a lot of stops and starts in the beginning," said Zander. "CBS was very frightened because I had no track record. They asked me if I could work with Chuck Jones. I said I could, but it was my picture. "Then, early in the picture, Chuck bowed out, but the fact that Chuck was available was reassuring to CBS." Jones is the creator of Bugs Bunny and produced some of the Dr.

Seuss specials for CBS. "It took a year of drawing to animate the special, once we got going," Zander said. "Sometimes CBS would come to us with 'constructive That always stopped us dead in our tracks." One of the first things that had to be worked out was a story. "The book treats gnomes the way Audubon tiff THE A Paramount Picture 1125 MORO A Paramount Picture WEST LOOP CENTER 1711713 big reference volume. It was our job to come up with an acceptable story that would have some weight and conflict." The story they devised centers on one woodland gnome family and the impending marriage of their eldest son.

He's now 101 years old, finally old enough to marry. Those nasty trolls interfere, but it all works out in the end. "All those conferences with CBS had some value," Zander said. "They insisted that the gnomes remain absolutely harmless. They couldn't have any weapons.

We asked how they were to fight, and the CBS people said that was up to us to figure out.
