YMMV / Gnomeo & Juliet

• Crosses the Line Twice: Buying a super-powered lawnmower and using it against your enemies to avenge your friend's death? Morally questionable. Losing control of it so it goes on a murderous rampage? Bloody hilarious.
• Fan-Preferred Cut Content: A mild one, but some people prefer the original ending scene, which shows both the blue gnomes and the red gnomes living in harmony in a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue rather than doing the stereotypical Dance Party Ending of most animated films.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In the Latin Spanish dub, Juliet's name is altered to Julieta. In 2017, Juliet's Latin Spanish voice actress, Hiromi Hayakawa, passed away due to childbirth complications, which the baby did not survive either. The baby's name? Julieta.
• Heartwarming Moments
  • Gnomeo and Juliet's love for each other serves as the movie's main plot. And unlike the source material, they actually live to see it bring their families together.
  • When it becomes apparent than he can't free Juliet from the glue holding her to the castle, with the Terrafirminator about to demolish it, Gnomeo would rather die with her than leave her side.
  • The epilogue, including Benny ordering a new flamingo for Featherstone (and she turns out to be Featherstone's lost love!), Gnomeo and Juliet's wedding, and the fish joining in.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: With James McAvoy as Gnomeo talking to Patrick Stewart as a Shakespeare statue, you basically have the young Professor X seeking advice from his older self - a whole three years before that actually happened. For an added bonus, Stewart's character is rooted to his pedestal, meaning he can't walk.
• Ho Yay: Tybalt and Fawn have their moments.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • It could've been worse for Benny if Tybalt chopped off his head.
  • Though ceramic models shattering is not a typically violent or grisly sight, the film makes it seem incredibly unnerving when shown from the perspectives of the Gnomes themselves. Tybalt's death and Gnomeo's own Disney Death are surprisingly effective and chilling, even when not shown onscreen.
  • The Terrafirminator can be this for some, especially once it goes out of control.
• Older Than They Think: The film is often known for being the only G-rated film from Touchstone Pictures, which was otherwise supposed to be Disney’s Darker and Edgier label, but the film You Again received a U/G rating in most countries while the US release got a PG with negotiations, and the initial 1998 US release of Kiki's Delivery Service was through Touchstone despite being a G-rated family film.
• One-Scene Wonder: Gnomeo's conversation with the statue of Shakespeare played by Sir Patrick Stewart no less.
• Signature Scene: Featherstone’s Backstory set to “Love Built a Garden.” or Gnomeo and Juliet's first meeting set to "Hello Hello".
• So Okay, It's Average: Honestly, it's an innocent children's movie, but it's not exactly a remarkable one.
• Tear Jerker: Here.
