The World of David the Gnome - Episode 25 - The Gift (Restored)

David goes to see an old friend of his, a human doctor named Walter. David wants to give Walter a pocketwatch that has been in the gnome family for generations. David tells Walter a story about the time he let a human boy enter the world of the gnomes. The boy's name was Wimpy and David used magic to shrink him and his dog down to gnome size. David took Wimpy around the forest and let him meet his fox friend, Nimble. Nimble and his wife had just had cubs, and Wimpy named one cub Swift. Later Wimpy went to David and Lisa's house for dinner, and the boy was fascinated by the pocketwatch. We find out that Wimpy grew up to be Walter. David's son Harold did not want the watch, but told David to give it to the best doctor he knew. Walter had always wanted the watch and thought it was a heartfelt gift.

I can see how this episode builds into the final episode: David is giving away possessions before he and Lisa pass away

43 years old now with two kids. Severe disc issues. Used to watch this when I was 10 with my 4 year old sister on Nick Jr. Has the best theme song ever. Makes me cry everytime now. Enjoy life while you can

[@MrOrthopedia]

I'm 40 years old, and I still love this cartoon series.

[@badoocee1967]

​@@MrOrthopedia God Bless you in keeping that inner child in remembrance.

[@MrOrthopedia]

@@badoocee1967 Ditto.

[@badoocee1967]

@@MrOrthopedia Thank you kindly. 🕶🤙🏽

[@adammoore9651]

Also 43 and hadn't seen this in many, many years. I knew every word to the theme song the first time it played. Funny how things like this stick with you. I really enjoyed seeing this again.

[@JewishKeto]

What an incredible gift… I’m sure David told Walter his visits were going to be coming to an end.

[@llarmstrong783]

Because of what happens in the next episode?

[@JewishKeto]

@@llarmstrong783 pretty much

[@NOLASea]

I always loved how David broke the fourth wall to include the viewer in his world

[@heavenlyprecog23]

Every time I hear the background music I get soooo emotional 🥹🥹🥹 #empath

[@skeetman22]

What is interesting about your memory is you can completely forget about something like this episode from this show. I probably haven’t seen since I was probably 5. Then after seeing the first few minutes instantly remember intimate details from it.

[@georgenambo2685]

I loved this cartoon as a child, this is especially my fav episode..So beautiful😢, I didnt get it then, but I get it now..., its meaning, thank u Nickelodeon👍👌

[@echad6259]

Same

[@Stephaniewashere]

37 and grew up watching these reruns and loving when it came on TV. The early 90s couldn't have been more magical for me.

[@jessicaknowlton7809]

I recognize David's voice when watching Happy Days which starred Tom Bosley.

[@jimmyharmon2519]

The opening song, and I'm 7 years old again!😌

[@SexyLilSeaOtter]

Who knew the Weinstein bros were the executive producers of David the gnome? Learn something new every day.

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Swift was cute as a cub.

[@dreamguardian8320]

Agreed.

[@falcon3268]

It would've been awesome if David brought swift with him to see Walter as those two would've had a great reunion

[@takigan]

10:02 David: "You made it Wimpy! You believed! You can open your eyes now." Wimpy: "Whoooa :O *looks around*....I don't believe it!" Umm, so which is it? Did he believe or didn't he?

[@yumikumi2]

I thought foxes only live 25-30 years, how old is Swift? 60? Must be gnome magic going on here.

[@sexydudeuk2172]

Oh no according to Wikipedia he's only a year old

[@elizabethrios7759]

Preciousness of something like that being appreciated is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!

[@Geegen41]

that was so sad made me cry

[@LordShadrach]

Nimble was Swift's father! ^_^

[@ihopcsx]

Thank you very much for these

[@TiffanyBedford]

David reminds me so much of Dr. Weil! ❤

[@elizabethrios7759]

Who is this doc Yall r talking about??????

[@elizabethrios7759]

Wild rose tea!!!!!! 🌹 possibly the secret to longevity??????🤔🥰

[@suecurtis8313]

I love David the Gnome sue curtis!

[@Mumblezzz.x]

It's sad how in the next episode david and lisa die😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

[@cryospiral]

Am I the only one to recognize Wimpy's grown man voice is Papa beaver?

[@WindowshadeCure]

cryospiral Not only that, but it's also the same voice as Roobear's father in Adventures of the Little Koala, and young Wimpy has the same voice as Roobear himself (and Lisa has the voice of Roobear's mom, all 3 shows were made by the same people and shared lots of voices)

[@zarachastellaris9016]

Who?

[@MrOrthopedia]

@@WindowshadeCure BRB and Cinar worked on David The Gnome and Meet The Koalas was presented by Viacom. I dont know about Papa Beaver's Storybook.

[@HarryPotter87]

He was also Mr. Haney in "Arthur"

[@HellhammerSS]

Tune in next week and watch David die kids!

[@zarachastellaris9016]

I actually own a copy of the book mentioned in the opening credits

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

I definitely want to get my hands on a copy some time.

nice cartoon

[@nightloaf4983]

I've done this to myself 😒

[@foggyqubti6288]

Oops bob and harvey weinstein!!!!!

[@kenanderson2002]

Wait.. Harvey Weinstein?!?! Whaaaaaa?!?!?!

[@kitakeet7]

Weinsteins produced my childhood fav?😐

[@samanthaginsberg6330]

Only thing i didn't like that i just noticed... is harvey weinstein and his brother (i assume) in the opening credits. Ew ew lol.

[@FirstnameLastname-gy2ci]

Lot of filler material here

[@cameronpoe9331]

Made my the Weinsteins, disgusting

[@JARedwolf100]

So Swift is around 60+ years old? Wow, quite the lifespan that fox has! Lol! But for the sake of it, we can just assume David has him under an enchantment. :P

[@edshep2openminds736]

that makes since swift was a cub 60 years past I don't think a fox can live for 60 + years he had to be under enchanted

[@cryospiral]

ed shep 2 maybe the currents Swift is Swift the Third

[@lorrainetarango4201]

You have to watch all of them ..you'll figure out swift fathers name..the story of the gnomes is better than all these killings

[@eleanorhogan8643]

I think that you are right.

[@Lin-hj4fh]

im so glad i grew up with this cartoon. 😌im showing it to my kids now and suprisingly they really like it.

[@Grayald]

2022. David the Gnomes dangerous ties to white supremacy.

[@MsSammiRoss]

this show is so much fun and educational

[@chuckchizzle]

....And that was the last time we saw the Doc.

[@edshep2openminds736]

it's a suprise to find full episode's of my favourite shows I used to watch when I was growing up

[@ShaySwarthy]

One of my favorite cartoons as a kid!

[@ashleyworden1887]
