Gnome Alone is a 2018 [[AllCGICartoon CG animated]] film by Creator/{{Cinesite}} that centers around a centuries-old war between Gnomes, who protect the earth and "Troggs" whom would consume everything they can.

When high school student Chloe discovers that her new home’s garden gnomes are sentient and their mission, she must decide between the pursuit of a desired high school life or taking up the fight against the Troggs.

This film [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant has nothing to do with]] '' Film/HomeAlone''.
