Line #14 Trivia/SherlockGnomes


1	* {{Blooper}}: Moriarty is seen without his hat for a few seconds before telling Sherlock he is a pie about town, when he is supposed to not have his hat in the next scene. According to character designer and animator Gary Dunn, this was apparently due to an error in the rendering process which switched the model of Moriarty with his hat to the hatless one.
2	* ChannelHop: Due to the division being quietly retired, Touchstone Pictures didn't produce the film, nor did [[Creator/{{Disney}} Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]] distribute; it was distributed by [[Creator/{{Paramount}} Paramount Pictures]] and produced by [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]] instead. While animation was still active in Canada, Starz Animation (then Arc Productions, now Jam Filled Toronto) didn't helm the project; Mikros Image, located in Montreal, Quebec, took its role.
3	* DawnOfAnEra: First time MGM produced a mainstream animated film since ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'', which was released a decade earlier.
4	* DuellingMovies: Rivals with Creator/ColumbiaPictures' ''Film/HolmesAndWatson'', starring Creator/WillFerrell and Creator/JohnCReilly, which also features Sherlock Holmes. Both movies were critically panned, though Sherlock Gnomes is at least a little better than Holmes and Watson.
5	* FakeBrit: American Johnny Depp as titular British detective Sherlock Gnomes, while an actual list of British voice actors are in this movie.
6	* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: In Japan, ''WesternAnimation/GnomeoAndJuliet'' was never released. Despite this, Sherlock Gnomes was released DirectToVideo in Japan, leading the appearance of the characters from Gnomeo and Juliet to be the first time they showed up in Japan. What’s even more confusing is that the reference to the former movie in the opening scene was kept in the Japanese dub despite the film in question not being dubbed.
7	* MissingTrailerScene: Several, including a Sherlock pun and, mercifully, a fart joke involving Mankini.
8	* NotScreenedForCritics: Website/RottenTomatoes didn't register a score until the day of its release. It went about as well as you'd expect, landing a measly 27% on the Tomatometer.
9	* PermanentPlaceholder: Jamie Demetriou was originally the scratch voice for Moriarty, but did such a great job that he actually got the role.
10	* ReferencedBy: ''Film/JohnMulaneyAndTheSackLunchBunch'' mentions the movie by name twice.
11	* SequelGap: Released 7 years after ''Gnomeo & Juliet'', a notably long gap for what is intended to be an ImmediateSequel.
12	* TypeCasting: Johnny Depp's portrayal of Sherlock Gnomes is not entirely out of place in his usual array of [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric yet brilliant individuals]].
13	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
14	** Watson was originally going to be voiced by Tim Curry, but he dropped out of the project due to health issues.
15	** Moriarty was supposed to be a mascot for Little Boy Blue Ice Cream, but the studio rejected the design.
16	** Reggie and Ronnie originally started out as one gargoyle named Grimesby who didn’t speak, then eventually, they became two female gargoyles who did speak before becoming male. [[EarlyDraftTieIn For some reason, the novelization refers to Ronnie as female several times.]]
17	** According to Andy Riley, who wrote the story of the film, there was supposed to be a mid-credits scene where [[spoiler: Moriarty washes up at a seaside resort and is put into a humiliating position at an amusement arcade or a golf course.]]
18	* WordOfGod: According to Gary Dunn, the Head of Story came up with the fact that the Moriarty’s Pies goobarb pies consist of a mixture of both gooseberries and rhubarb.
