Not bad, but too generic and combining some smart moments with silly ones. It seems a mashup of several better animated films, such as Ratatouille, Toy Story, Antz, Kiki's Delivery Service, Klaus... While the baker Theo is a nice character (although not innovative), elfkin Helvi is a little annoying.

Too generic, but not bad
Are They Gnomes? Or Elves?
While this could've benefitted from a little less fart humour, and from removing the musical numbers, it was pretty good for what it is.
The film was fairly cute and fun, and I think young kids would probably enjoy it, even if it might be a bit frivolous.
I will say, I don't think there's a huge amount for the parents to enjoy here, but then again, that's not what they're going for!
Very good
A nice children's animation movie. Worthy of the Disney genre. Good to extol the virtues of human nature against wrong-doing. I enjoyed it. Nice for children to watch. I recommend it.
