Tear Jerker / The World of David the Gnome

• The episode "Little Houses for Little People" has a scene where David treats a doe whose leg was broken; she broke it when she fell on sharp rock and a shard of it embedded inside the wound. The poor doe cries in agony and David also has a pained expression when he removes the shard.
• In the episode "Young Dr. Gnome" hunter shoots a tiny fawn, who is later found by David and Swift in a very bad shape. It's mother is clearly distressed of the situation and she even tears up when David says he has to operate.
• "Friends In Trouble" has countless birds are held in cages in the bird shop and all of them have been captured from the wild. One parrot even cries for help when David shows up.
• The series finale episode, "The mountains of beyond". It quite was for Spanish kids what Optimus Prime's death in The Transformers: The Movie was for US children;
  • All of the forest animals coming to say goodbye to David and Lisa as they prepare to leave.
  • David and Lisa's death scene, as well as the fact that unlike David, Lisa is very clearly not ready, outright suggesting at one point that she and David follow the example of that gnome couple in the Baltics who lived to be 550 and try for longer. David shoots down the idea and she acquiesces, never trying again.
  • David and Lisa saying Sliztweitz one last time to the audience, as spirits, Swift didn't imagine them...
  • In the original Spanish version when David and Lisa die, the background music that plays is a slow piano version of Soy un gnomo that eventually fades away. It is like the theme died with them as well.
