Last week we received another fantastic DVD to review. I made the mistake of telling the kids that we were going to be watching Gnome and Juliet soon and showing the kids the trailer long before we actually received the DVD in the mail. Caden laughed through the whole trailer, and spent the following week waiting for the postie every morning only to be disappointed that no DVD was in the mail.
It was like Christmas when is finally arrived. He put it on straight away and sat down with Mahli to be captivated for the whole thing.
This DVD came at a great time seeing as all three kids and myself did nothing much but watch movies last week due to all of have being sick. Gnomeo and Juliet certainly got a workout.
Now we all know the story of Gnomeo... sorry Romeo and Juliet. Well now it is being re-told yet again but with a twist.
Two gardens, both alike in dignity, set the scene for this epic adventure starring two of history’s most treasured lovers...well, sort of. Shakespeare’s legendary tale returns like you’ve never seen it before in a heart-warming story about love, hate and garden gnomes. Gnomeo & Juliet will captivate young and old alike with state of the art animation, hilarious dialogue and a sensational soundtrack.
They aren't joking when they say it has a hilarious dialogue and a sensational soundtrack. It really is a crack up and Elton John certainly knows how to create an awesome movie soundtrack.

ReplyDeleteThats easy Tiny Dancer all the way gives me that special feeling that i could justlisten to it over and over (within reason of course)
ReplyDeleteI love all the Elton John music on the soundtrack of that old movie - Friends made in around 1970 -especially the song Friends:
ReplyDeleteI hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly
I loved the baz lurman version. I took my (then) little cousin to see it. She'd never heard of the story before and balled. Will never forget that. lol.
