WoW Moviewatch: Wish Upon a Gnome 2: The Purple Pixel Plan

The Purple Pixel Plan?

Step 1: Find Guild

Step 2: ???

Step 3: EPIX!

Fablesim's Wish upon a Gnome 2 is the second episode of Wish Upon a Gnome, the first was originally released back in August 2008. This second episode comes in two parts (thanks to YouTube's restrictions) and is overall a decent yarn to watch during a short break. After all, who doesn't want to see a gnome traveling around Azeroth, meet his rather man-ish mother, and then face off against The Ashbringer.

The animation is good enough, and I think the voice acting is on par with what we expect with most WoW movies. My primary criticism of the machinima revolves around the rather disconnected feel of the plot however. There is certainly an overall story that Fablesim is going for, but all the one-liner jokes that string it together don't necessary let the story flow as it could. It tries to be Family Guy, but it's not. However that said, there's still some pretty good parts; I especially liked the rock band lead by the lock.

Part 1 is given in the above video, for part two head over to Fablesim's YouTube page.
