Despite these flaws, it remains a commercially successful entry in the animated genre, grossing approximately $10.8 million at the box office.

At its core, Gnome Alone (2017) is a story about Chloe, a teenager who frequently moves due to her mother's job. This constant relocation creates a deep-seated desire for social acceptance, leading Chloe to prioritize the "cool crowd" over her own instincts.
