Since its release in 2011, Gnomeo & Juliet has become a post-postmodern classic. This 3D computer-animated fantasy romantic comedy directed by Kelly Asbury and written by a team of ten writers, features an overwhelming mashup of Romeo & Juliet, Elton John songs, and pop culture references. However, the film’s refreshing take on essential elements - the initial meeting, the balcony scene, the wedding scene - creates a Shakespeare appetizer for young viewers and almost makes up for its desperate hodgepodge.
