II.- The Fairies They are mythical beings from folklore and romances, usually described as tiny humans with wings and magical powers. Fairy godmothers are protective beings, like guardian angels. This movement is inspired by the film where a mechanical being has artificial intelligence, being capable of achieving a great emotional sense, comparing this phenomenon to the magic that fairies are capable of offering to humans, illusion.
III.- The GnomesThey are tiny beings, measuring between 10 and 50 cm. There may be others that are a little larger, but perhaps they live in more wooded or unknown areas. They are attributed magical powers, this is because they are not tied to the rational way of understanding the world like human beings, they preserve traditions of millions of years and their objective is spiritual ascent.
