Gnomeo and Benny avenge this by graffiting the red garden well, and Tybalt gets revenge by vandalizing the Blue wisteria and breaking Benny's hat.

* GirlInTheTower: At first [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]], as Lord Redbrick wants Juliet to stay, for her safety, at the top of her tower, as she cannot get into anyway (it's a miniature version, being a lawn ornament. But Juliet run away every time she can. Near the end anyway, it's played straight as Lord Redbrick, traumatized by the fact that [[spoiler: Tybalt just been broken]] and [[InternalReveal the reveal]] that Juliet has fallen in love with a Blue gnome, make the goons glue her feet on the tower's pedestal. Thus the equivalent of locking her in. [[spoiler: It's nearly fatal to Juliet when the Terrafirminator is thrown at her, and Gnomeo vainly tries to free her.]]

* {{Malaproper}}: Lord Redbrick uses 'incinerating' in the place of 'insinuating' and then mistakes 'illiterate' for 'illegitimate.'

* AbusiveParents: Lord Redbrick starts as an [[MyBelovedSmother irritating overprotective father]] to this when Juliet's romance with a Blue - and the son of Lady Bluebury, his archenemy - is revealed and he has the Red Goons gluing Juliet's feet on her pedestal, [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou insisting that ''she'' forced him to do this.]] Subverted when the Terrafirminator marches to Juliet's pedestal and he realizes she's going to die because of his selfishness; fortunately, Gnomeo rescues her in the nick of time and Lord Redbrick no longer makes any objections.

''Gnomeo & Juliet'' takes [[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet the most famous love story of all time]], places it in the back yards of neighboring English households and scores the whole thing to classic hits by Music/EltonJohn. Elton and his husband David Furnish executive produced the film through their company Rocket Pictures, proving that he should stick to what he's good at; namely writing musical masterpieces rather than setting movies to them. In development at Disney for at least a decade, the animation was later farmed out to Starz Animation and ultimately released under the Creator/TouchstonePictures banner in 2011, on Valentine's Day weekend.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Everyone but Tybalt]]. Also, [[spoiler:[[UnexplainedRecovery Tybalt]].]]

* HeldGaze: A very very obvious one when Gnomeo and Juliet first encounter each other after they put grab hold of the flower. It causes them to look into each other's eyes and they hold each other's gazes for a ''looong'' moment.

* {{Malaproper}}: Lord Redbrick uses 'incinerating' in the place of 'insinuating' and then mistake 'illiterate' for 'illegitimate.'

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: In ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', a lot of characters die. In this comedic adaptation [[RecycledInSpace with lawn ornaments]], nobody dies - not even Tybalt, who gets reassembled for the DancePartyEnding! This is even Lampshaded during Gnomeo's conversation with a bronze Shakespeare statue, where he calls the original a "horrible ending." The Shakespear statue thinks it's great (if still tragic), and even expects it of the gnomes.

* LargeHam: Creator/PatrickStewart is having so much fun as Shakespeare's statue. May very well be SelfDeprecation given his theatre background.
