Shakespeares timeless love story gets an animated makeover courtesy of director Kelly Asbury.
Heres Daves Blu-ray review…
In the 16th century, Shakespeare apparently sat down and wrote one of his many plays.
Anyway, enough of my lesson on Shakespeare.
Thank, God, is all I can say.
Ill just say, one family lives at 2B.
Of course, its not the families that were interested in.
Its the gnomes, the Blues of Montague and the Reds of Capulet.

Before all this, though, we have to set the scene.
With neither house getting along, theres a sense of competitiveness between them, embodied in the lawnmower race.
Gnomeo does something that no gnome has done before, entering the red garden by stealth.
(Jason Statham and Ashley Jensen are perfect.)
(Talking of Pixar, there are a few scenes and characters that will make you thinkToy Story.)
Every actor takes their role seriously, whilst clearly having fun with the part.
It may be a childrens film but that doesnt mean that the values are any less.
This is one of them.
Its constantly bright, clear, and crisp, with the Blu-ray often topping 35Mbps.
The characters are cute, child-friendly and colourful.
Impressive visuals are accompanied by an equally impressive DTS-HD soundtrack that helps bring the film to life.
The Fawn Of Darknessis presented in high definition and lasts for ninety seconds.
As with the Frog Talk section, theres very little to this piece.
Its really just a promotional trailer for the film.
The extras are a bit light on the ground, which is a shame.
Film:
