History WesternAnimation / SherlockGnomes

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Among the pictures of the missing gnomes that the tv broadcasts, there's a gnomic version of Elton John (who took part in the production), wearing pink and with starred glasses.

* Manchild: Moriarty, in spades.

** When calling out for Gnomeo, Watson reluctantly calls out "wherefore art thou, Gnomeo."[[note]][[CriticalResearchFailure Though "wherefore" actually means "why", not "where".]][[/note]]

** Duringv their final fight, Moriarty says that he and Sherlock [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke "are not different"]], then sings [[Theatre/MissSaigon "you are the sun and I am the moon"]].

* PassThePopcorn: Three squirrels watch attently as Juliet and Sherlock (still disguised as a squirrel) are running from the hound. The one chewing nervously a nut brings to mind someone eating compulsively popcorn (or peanuts, etc) while watching the climax of a terror film.

* ImYourWorstNightmare: The gargoyles intrudces himself as this to Gnomeo and Watson.

** The gargoyle chasing Gnomeo and Watson yells [[WesternAnimation/Moana "You're never gonna away on those stubby little legs!"]]

* AspectRatio: Changed from 1.78:1 to 2.35:1 in this movie, being the [[WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter fifth]] [[WesternAnimation/IceAge4ContinentalDrift computer-animated sequel]] [[WesternAnimation/PlanesFireAndRescue to do]] [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3 so]].

!!This film contains examples of:

* AngstWhatAngst: InUniverse and PlayedForDrama. [[spoiler: Watson is supposedly killed]], and Juliet berates Sherlock for seemingly not caring. Truthfully, he is just as shocked and upset as she is, though he's trying to focus on his mission rather than his grief.

* AppropriatedTitle: Despite being a sequel to ''Gnomeo & Juliet'', the film is solely called ''WesternAnimation/SherlockGnomes''.

-->'''Goon 1''': Oh, no.\\
'''Goon 2''': I know, we didn't get to do our big finale. ''[one of the two other goons slaps him]'' What?

*** [[MissingTrailerScene In the film's teaser trailer]], Sherlock accidentally knocks over one of the small red gnomes, causing his hat to break like Benny's in the first film.[[note]]Though Benny's has been somehow fixed in this movie.[[/note]]

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Watson appears to pull one, but it's revealed that he doesn't plan to harm the gnomes, only to show Sherlock that he deserves more credit than he gets.]]
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: Both Moriarty and Watson.]]

* IronicEcho: During their first big fight, Juliet tells Gnomeo "The garden can't wait! You can!". Later, she gets angry at Sherlock for not showing more concern over what has happened to Watson and Sherlock replies "The case cannot wait. You can."

** In the climax, [[spoiler: Moriarty and Sherlock fall over the waterfall.]]

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: In the [[TheNineties 90's]], garden gnomes actually tended to vanish sometimes (In France for instance, they were stolen by The Garden Gnome Liberation Front.)

-->'''Sherlock:''' ''(shaking his rear back and forth)'' Do you see what I'm doing? See, do you see?
-->'''Juliet:''' Yes. [[DoubleMeaning You're acting like a rear-end.]]

** Moriarty says he was 'deaded', that someone is 'misrebable'... ''Radio/TheGoonShow'', anyone?

->''"I hate you, Sherlock Gnomes."''

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Despite prominent roles in the first film, Tybalt[[note]][[JustifiedTrope Though his survival shown in the first film's DancePartyEnding may not be entirely canon]][[/note]], Featherstone and the ceramic girl that became Benny's love interest are not seen or mentioned here.
