I loved watching Kid films and TV shows. And I loved watching Gnome Alone ever since I saw it. It had great characters, great music and songs, great locations and an amazing storyline. And I thought what better way to honor Gnome Alone than to write a sequel to it. Here are some notes on the story:
In Gnome Alone, Chloe said that Liam isn't her boyfriend. If Liam isn't her boyfriend, then who IS? That's when I created Nick. I modeled him off of SuperErikaStar's Marco picture.
I modeled some of the other TenderVille Kids off of different characters from different films and TV shows. Here are the models I based the characters off of:
For Felicity, I used the model of June Bailey from Paramount's Wonder Park.
For Dereck, I used the model of Liam from Nickelodeon's Rusty Rivets.
For Stacy and Melvin, I used the model of Coraline Jones from the film version of Neil Gaiman's Coraline and the model of Norman Babcock from Laika's ParaNorman.
For Spike, I used the model of Connan Stevens from GoAnimate's Laser Tag.
And for Trevor Tendercat, I used the model of Munkustrap from my favorite musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats.
When I started thinking about the storyline for Gnome Alone 2, I had multiple ideas in my mind.
One of the ideas was of a musical adventure. In one of the scenes from Gnome Alone, I saw Liam play the piano before Chloe goes past him. That made me think: Liam's good at playing the piano! Maybe he had something to do with music in his past.
That idea lead me to another idea! What if Liam was in a band?
Another idea was that maybe Chloe can sing! After all, American singer Becky G did voice Chloe in Gnome Alone.
Anyways, if Vanguard plans on doing a Gnome Alone sequel for real, I'll be looking forward to it.
Here's the cast list for my Gnome Alone sequel:
Zac Efron as Nick
Becky G as Chloe
Josh Peck as Liam
Brianna Denski as Felicity
Samuel Faraci as Dereck
Fred Tatasciore as Spike
Dakota Fanning as Stacy
Kodi Smit-McPhee as Melvin
JP Karliak as Trevor Tendercat
Can't decide the rest!
Here's a list of the songs I used in the story:
Why Should I Worry from Oliver and Company - A Billy Joel classic, written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight
Clean up the house from Bear in the Big Blue House - Composed and written by Peter Lurye
The TenderVille Kids - A song I wrote, based on the Caillou theme song.
Our House - A song from Gnome Alone, Written by Leland Cox, Matias Mora, and Mia Minichiello
Your Heart will lead you home from The Tigger Movie - A Kenny Loggins classic, written by Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman & Kenny Loggins
Breaking Free from High School Musical - written by Jamie Houston
It's Not If You Win or Lose from Kidsongs
This story is based on the characters from Vanguard's film "Gnome Alone".
Gnome Alone is based on an original idea by Kyle Newman and Micah Herman.
If you're reading this, Vangaurd, I hope you like it! But if you have a different idea for a Gnome Alone sequel, I wish you good luck on it.
