GNOMEO AND JULIET

Gnomeo and Juliet is an animation film based on the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

The film is a comedy very similar with the original book.

It starts with a narrator in a theatre who is saying that this story has been telling so many times. The characters instead of humans are garden gnomes in two different gardens. The gnomes for one garden are confronting with the gnomes for the other garden. It is curious that the landlord and the landlady are confronting too.

The story of the film and the one in the play is almost equal; the character's name, the important scenes or the confrontings . It is important to take into account that the film is for children, so it has a lot of comedy scenes and the confrontations are gentler. 

As happens in the play, Gnomeo challenges Teobaldo with a race, at the end of the race Teobaldo died. Gnomeo is challenging again and at this time is Gnomeo who seems diying, but he is lost. Everybody believes that he is dead so the Gnomeo's family make a plan to invade the enemy garden. In the middle of the battle, Gnomeo appears to rescue Juliet. Almost at the end, it seems that the two lovers are dead, but after a few second of suspense, they are alive. Here there is the big difference with the play. Finally, the two families resolve their problems and Gnomeo and Juliet are happily togheter.

This scene is when Gnomeo gets lost. He is in a big park with a statue of William Shakespeare. If you know the real play it is funny to listen because Gnomeo tells his story and Shakespeare associates it with his play. This scene is great because children can know about the real author.
