There's a mystery afoot and the whole family is invited!/ It was inevitable that after the success of their first foray into the garden, the decorative lawn gnomes from "Gnomeo and Juliet" would get themselves in a whole new adventure, so when the entire family is uprooted from their suburban home and transported into the heart of London, it is up to our heroes to solve a mystery but they may need some help from none other than the world's greatest detective in the animated family feature "Sherlock Gnomes" available now Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.
This charmingly arresting animated spectacular features one of the largest star-studded casts ever assembled including Emily Blunt and James McAvoy returning to voice the romantic leads, and when Juliet and Gnomeo are nominated by their family to take over the responsibility of caring for their new front lawn in London, Juliet dives deep into the responsibility. Gnomeo would like nothing more than to romance his sweetheart and ventures out to find Juliet the perfect flower, but gets himself into trouble instead! Leave it to Juliet to save the day!
Upon their return to the garden, the pair discovers that their family has entirely disappeared, and this is not the first set of decorative lawn ornaments that have gone missing in the neighborhood.
