“Beautiful for adults and children alike” – Look

Be introduced to a world you have never gnome before in Gnomeo & Juliet, a hilarious and heart-warming take on William Shakespeare’s classic love story. Featuring a voice cast that showcases the crème de la crème of British acting talent, led by James McAvoy (Atonement, Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe) and Emily Blunt (Gulliver’s Travels, The Devil Wears Prada) as the infamous star-crossed lovers; the hats are off when Gnomeo & Juliet is released on DVD, Blu-ray & DVD Combi and Blu-ray 3D on 6 June 2011 from Entertainment One.

Massive household names give voices to the supporting miniature monuments including Academy Award®-winner Michael Caine as Lord Redbrick (Inception; Alfie), Dame Maggie Smith as Lady Bluebury (Hook; Sister Act), Jason Statham as Tybalt (The Expendables, Transporter franchise), as well as Patrick Stewart (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Chicken Little), Julie Walters (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Mamma Mia!), Matt Lucas (Alice in Wonderland, Astro Boy), Stephen Merchant (Cemetry Junction, The Office), Ozzy Osbourne (Mega Mind, Iron Man) and Hulk Hogan (Little Hercules in 3D, Muppets from Space) to gnome but a few! Directed by Kelly Asbury (Shrek 2) and featuring classic and original songs from musical legend Elton John, Gnomeo & Juliet is the ultimate love story…with a very small difference.

Set in the gardens of fair Verona drive, we witness the blossoming romance of the pint sized lovers amidst a turf war between the Reds and the Blues. Between high-speed lawnmower chases and stealth missions, hearts (and hats) are broken, loyalties are tested and garden boundaries drawn, but can true gnomance conquer all? When your best friends are an over-excitable frog, a lovelorn flamingo, a loyal mushroom, a team of Bond-esque bunnies and a dopey fawn, there’s a shed load of fun and adventure around every plant pot!

A delightful tale of love, honour and strength amongst adversity Gnomeo & Juliet is a fun, feel good family film that must not be missed when released on DVD and Blu-ray this summer.
