This article's plot summary may be. Please by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( December 2018) In, Miss.
Montague (blue) and Mr. Capulet (red) ( and ) are two elderly neighbors who despise each other.
When they leave their respective gardens, their and other lawn ornaments come alive. The Montague garden is filled with blue-hat gnomes led by Lady Bluebury , and the Capulet garden has red-hat gnomes led by Lord Redbrick.
Like their human gardeners, the gnomes also despise each other. The gnomes hold a back alley lawnmower race.
Lady Bluebury's son Gnomeo races against his rival, Tybalt , in which Tybalt destroys Gnomeo's lawn mower. That night, Gnomeo and his best friend Benny infiltrate the red garden in black disguise in order to take revenge on Tybalt by spraying his mower with paint. Benny sprays the reds' well and accidentally triggers a security light. During the escape Gnomeo ends up in a nearby garden where he bumps into a disguised Juliet , the daughter of Lord Redbrick. Juliet is attempting to retrieve a unique Cupid's Arrow, and the two romantically fight over it. They each discover the other's color before fleeing the garden. When they both go back to their own gardens, Juliet tells her frog-sprinkler friend Nanette about her newfound love.
Nanette states that the relationship is romantically tragic but agrees to keep it a secret after Gnomeo and Juliet agree to continue with it. Gnomeo and Juliet have secret meetings in the nearby garden, where they meet a pink named Featherstone who encourages their love. Lord Redbrick pairs Juliet with a Red Gnome named Paris , but Juliet isn't interested in him and distracts him with Nanette who has feelings for him. Lady Bluebury is distraught after the reds infiltrate the garden and destroy the plant nurtured by Gnomeo's late father. The blues want Gnomeo to take revenge on the reds, and when he is about to spray the prized tulips of the reds, Juliet sees him and he backs out of the attack. When he and Juliet meet up again, they argue until Featherstone stops them, telling them he lost his wife when the couple living in the house, where the garden is, broke up and left each other. Benny sees them and runs away into the alleyway, where Tybalt is waiting with his lawnmower, attempting to run Benny down and ends up chopping off his hat.
Gnomeo intervenes, and he and Tybalt fight on the red lawnmower until the lawnmower runs into the wall, causing Tybalt to shatter himself. The reds attempt to attack Gnomeo, thinking that Tybalt died because of him, and Gnomeo ends up on a road, with everyone believing he was run over by a truck.
Actually, the truck had teapots, and a blue teapot fell out. After hearing Juliet express her love for Gnomeo and attempt to walk out onto the roadway, Lord Redbrick has the other red gnomes glue Juliet's feet to her fountain because he does not want to lose her like he lost her mother. Gnomeo's friend, Shroom, finds out that Gnomeo is still alive as a blue teapot fell out of the truck, and a dog has carried him to a nearby park. He and Featherstone eventually reaches the park where Gnomeo climbs onto a statue of and tells him his story. Shakespeare tells Gnomeo that his story is very and that it is likely Gnomeo's will have a sad ending as well, the same ending as Romeo and Juliet, where the two lovers die. Benny gets onto Miss.
Montague's computer and attempts to order to a powerful Terrafirminator lawn mower, intending to get revenge on the reds. He gets the lawnmower and the Terrafirminator goes out of control, destroys most of the two gardens, and gets itself stuck while the gnomes wage a full-scale war. Gnomeo returns to Juliet with the help of Featherstone. However, when he arrives, the Terrafirminator frees itself, and is about to utterly destroy the tower. The Terrafirminator goes flying torward the tower. Gnomeo tries to un-glue Juliet, but is unable to, and two share a passionate kiss just as the lawnmower crashes into the fountain, self-destructing in the process.
Now finally realizing that the feud leads Gnomeo and Juliet to their demises, Lord Redbrick and Lady Bluebury eventually end the feud. Lord Redbrick accidentally steps on a switch, that pushes the rubble out of the way, and the gnomes find out that Gnomeo and Juliet are actually alive and emerge from the ruins as the two clans celebrate. Montague and Mr. Capulet come home to find their backyards a mess.
Shortly afterward, the red and blue gnomes create a new garden and come together to celebrate their newfound peace. Paris and Nanette are in love, Lord Redbrick and Lady Blueberry became best friends, Tybalt is revealed to still be alive having been glued back together, Featherstone is reunited with his wife after Benny finds and orders her online, and Gnomeo and Juliet are married on a purple lawnmower, which symbolizes the new union of both gnome clans.
