Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)
The greatest love story you have never gnome.
A version of Shakespeare's play, set in the world of warring indoor and outdoor gnomes. Garden gnomes Gnomeo and Juliet have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?
In Gnomeo & Juliet, consciousness is carried by toys and objects — a plane of “garden gnome world”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, love, tradition, family.
