m (Mass update links)
Line 11:
* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: Not even an animal. A lawn ornament mushroom.
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Repeated several times.
* [[All-Star Cast]]: James McAvoy, [[Emily Blunt]], [[Jason Statham]], [[Patrick Stewart]], Maggie Smith, [[Michael Caine]], [[Hulk Hogan]], [[Dolly Parton]], [[Jim Cummings]], [[Ozzy Osbourne (Music)|Ozzy Osbourne]]...
* [[Awesomeness Is Volatile]]: The ad for the Terrafirminator claimed that looking at it would cause people's heads to explode.
* [[Brick Joke]]: "Told you so."
Line 31:
* [[Drool Hello]]
* {{spoiler|[[Everybody Lives]]}}: {{spoiler|While at first seems that Tybalt died, he appears glued back together in the ending.}}
* [[Fun Withwith Subtitles]]: The film takes a crack at martial arts movies.
* [[Feuding Families]]: The Reds and the Blues, obviously.
* [[Happy Ending]]
Line 43:
* [[Last Kiss]]: {{spoiler|[[Invoked]] when Gnomeo stays with Juliet on her pedestal, as it appears they're going to be killed by The Terrafirminator. Subverted however, as they turn out to be fine.}}
* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: Gnomeo gets one (with duct tape, garden stakes, mud, and a spray nozzle) before his first raid into the Red yard.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Notably [[Averted]], especially with a scene devoted to comparing the plot to the source material. {{spoiler|Even if Tybalt does [[Unexplained Recovery|get better]] later.}}
* [[Pair the Spares]]: Paris/Nanette. Hey, [[Extras|Darren Lamb and Maggie got together]].
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Benny's ridiculous daisy costume completely fools Tybalt's miniature minions when he hides out in an arrangement of daisies.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: There's a fair bit of innuendo and adult references made throughout the film.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: [[Ozzy Osbourne (Music)|Ozzy Osbourne]] as possibly the cutest little faun you'll ever see.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Played straight with the Red and Blue gnome clans.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** So many [[Shakespeare]] references everywhere it'd make your head spin. The feuding neighbor's houses are 2B and not 2B for starters... The movers are named Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. There is also a truck labeled [[The Tempest|Tempest]] Teapots and the "[[The Taming of the Shrew|Taming of the Glue]]" brand seen later in the movie. And that's just scraping the surface!
** Even to other works. [[Brokeback Mountain]], anyone?
** Also ''[[Lassie (TV series)|Lassie]]'' (is [[Timmy in Aa Well]] again?), and a mention for [[Little Richard]] in the same phrase, no less!
** Was that Alan Titchmarsh on Ms. Montague's screensaver?
** It may have been a fluke of the Russian translation, but one of Lady Bluebury's calls to arms seemed to have come from [[The Road Warrior|Lord Humungus]] himself!
** They even sneak in one to [[Bambi (Disney)|Bambi]]. "{{spoiler|Tybalt}} can't be with us anymore."
** One of the headlines says "[[As You Like It]]"
** Heck, [[William Shakespeare|The Bard]] himself appears! (or at least, his statue does) voiced by [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Patrick Stewart]]!
Line 62:
** When Juliet first tries to leave the garden "Out out!" then the dog's owner calls out "[[Macbeth|Damn Spot]]! Over here, boy!"
* [[Side Effects Include]]: The ad for the Terrafirminator ends with a list of side effects, including dry mouth, [[Hearing Voices|voices telling you to burn things]], tightened hamstrings, and persistent feelings of awesomeness. In rare instances some people may explode when viewing the Terrafirminator.
* [[Spared Byby the Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|Everyone but Tybalt}}. Also, {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery|Tybalt]].}}
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: {{spoiler|While the Terrafirminator is flying through the air at them (in slow motion), our main characters have a brief chat, at normal speed.}}
