You could be forgiven for having forgotten about the 2011 animated movie Gnomeo & Juliet, but the makers will be hoping audiences are happy to re-enter that world next March. However, rather than taking its inspiration from Shakespeare, this one is going a lttle Arthur Conan Doyle with Sherlock Gnomes.
They’ve even drafted in Johnny Depp to voice the title character.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The beloved garden gnomes from GNOMEO AND JULIET are back for a whole new adventure in London. When Gnomeo and Juliet first arrive in the city with their friends and family, their biggest concern is getting their new garden ready for spring. However, they soon discover that someone is kidnapping garden gnomes all over London. When Gnomeo and Juliet return home to find that everyone in their garden is missing – there’s only one gnome to call…SHERLOCK GNOMES. The famous detective and sworn protector of London’s garden gnomes arrives with his sidekick Watson to investigate the case. The mystery will lead our gnomes on a rollicking adventure where they will meet all new ornaments and explore an undiscovered side of the city. This action-packed sequel features the voices of returning cast, James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Stephen Merchant and Ozzy Osbourne, plus Johnny Depp as Sherlock Gnomes, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Watson and Mary J. Blige as Irene.’
The film will be in cinemas next Spring. Take a look at the cinema below.
