Gnomeo & Juliet

[katikat]

I won't lie, I bought Gnomeo & Juliet on DVD for one reason only: James McAvoy! He voiced Gnomeo and it was so incredibly cute! And I just love reading about the movie, about what a success it was and how it surprised everybody, this tiny movie, considered B-rated at best, that cost only $35 mil. to make and earned almost $200 mil. worldwide! Lovely!

The funniest parts were Shroom - I really want a Shroom of my own, it was such a lovable bit! - and Nanette. Gosh, Nanette was hilarious, I just loved her. Also, Ashley Jensen who voiced her was then later on with James McAvoy in Arthur Christmas!

But there was also a moment where I had literally tears in my eyes - when Featherstone was telling Gnomeo and Juliet about how he lost the love of his life because their humans split. That was so incredibly sad and it came totally out of left field ;_;

And the geekiest moment! Sir Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy having a scene together as Shakespeare and Gnomeo respectively. Both Charleses in one scene together! I almost clapped my hands with delight :)
