Many years ago (well, probably around 1997-2000), when I was just a little Shaz, dwelling in the merry land of England, I saw part of a really weird cartoon. I'm not sure if it was a film or just an episode of something; for whatever reason, I only saw a few minutes, but it was so bizarre (even by 90s cartoon standards) that I remember it.
There was some sort of ratlike creature in a very frilly dress, she seemed to be a queen or something. Then a young human girl got put into a pit, which happened to contain a dead gnome. The gnome was pretty large in comparison to the girl and had a white beard. I remember her going "*gasp* a dead gnome!" and kneeling down next to him.
I have tried searching online for this a few times, but have never got far with it. I'm starting to think I made it up! Which would be a shame, as it seems like the kind of odd/dark cartoon I'd probably quite enjoy watching now.
Anyone any idea what it might be?
