Sherlock Gnomes

Sherlock Gnomes continues the story of the garden ornaments Gnomeo and Juliet, who have moved to London with their families and friends and are preparing a new garden for spring. Their plans are disrupted when gnomes begin disappearing across the city, and the couple's own relatives vanish as well. Unable to solve the case alone, they turn to the celebrated detective Sherlock Gnomes, who takes up the investigation with his partner Watson.

The film is a British and American animated adventure directed by John Stevenson, whose only previous feature was Kung Fu Panda. Ben Zazove wrote the screenplay, and Elton John and David Furnish are among the producers. Johnny Depp voices Sherlock Gnomes, with Emily Blunt as Juliet, James McAvoy as Gnomeo, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Watson, Mary J. Blige as Irene and Stephen Merchant as Paris, among 21 credited cast members.

Released in March 2018, the film runs 86 minutes and mixes comedy, mystery and family adventure. It was made for about 59 million US dollars and took roughly 90 million worldwide, a modest return against its cost. On IMDb it holds 5.3 out of 10 from around 16,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.7 out of 10 from about 787 votes. A critics' rating of 4.5 out of 10 from 65 reviews places it below both audience scores.
