 The Moving Picture World 's Thomas Bedding provided the best recognition of the company . Bedding wrote , " The Gnome Company seem to be working on , what to our minds , is the most interesting phase of the Christmas sentiment . They are making fairy pictures for young people . We fully expect to see other makers follow suit , when they realize what the real Christmas sentiment is , namely one of lightness , brightness , joyousness . " Advertisements for the productions show the great desire of the company to produce the three films in the December 1910 season , but interest in the Christmas and New Year 's productions would have waned by mid @-@ January 1911 with the productions still not released . Ultimately , the Gnome Motion Picture Company represents an early attempt to cater film productions to children and during the Christmas season .
