It spends a bit too much time working on the animation portion of the film instead of realizing that it has lots of flaws. The story of two gnomes tribes that hate each other's guts, red and blue. And as the title says it all, the story of Romeo and Juliet is basically the plot (but with few tweaks). We all know the story and heard it tons of times, so perhaps they thought that they didn't need to develop the story. Well, they're wrong. Instead of telling a story, we see lots of dancing and 3D show-offs and a lot of music. Despite the impeccable soundtrack by Elton John, we can't help but realize that nothing about this cliché is special. Gnomeo and Juliet has its flaws, but the story of Romeo and Juliet can be told in any shape or form and it would turn out great. With the gnomes version of Toy Story characters and smart writing added with Elton John's soundtrack, Gnomeo and Juliet is a kid version of Shakespeare's love tragedy.
