Wisdom of the Gnomes (which means "The Call of the Gnomes" in Spanish) is a fun animated TV show. It was made by Spanish companies BRB Internacional and Televisión Española. This series is all about the adventures of gnomes!
It's actually a spin-off from another popular show called The World of David the Gnome. Both shows are based on the amazing books about gnomes written by Wil Huygen.
There were also other adventures with the gnomes after this series. These included movies and TV specials like The Great Adventure of the Gnomes (1995), The Gnomes in the Snow (1999), and The Fantastic Adventures of the Gnomes (2000).
Meet Klaus the Gnome Judge
In Wisdom of the Gnomes, the main character is a wise gnome named Klaus. He is a special judge, sometimes called "wise man Klaus." His job is to travel around and help solve problems.
Klaus doesn't travel alone! He has a helpful assistant named Danny. They fly together on a friendly swan named Henry. Their mission is to settle arguments and disagreements between different animals. They always try to find peaceful and fair solutions.
Just like in The World of David the Gnome, you'll also see some tricky trolls in this series. These trolls often cause trouble for the gnomes and animals. Even David, the gnome from the first series, makes a special appearance in one episode!
