Disney has removed Touchstone Pictures animated film ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’ from Disney+ in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada.
The removal came as a bit of a surprise since Disney+ does not announce which titles will be leaving every month.
No reason was provided for the removal but it’s likely due to Entertainment One having distribution rights internationally. It would appear the licensing agreement has ended between Entertainment One and Disney. It’s unknown if the movie will return.
The movie remains available on Disney+ in the United States.
In Stratford-Upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, Miss Capulet and Mr. Montague feud over whose garden is the better. Garden gnomes that decorate each neighbor’s flower beds continue the rivalry when the humans aren’t looking, and gnomes from the Red Gardens don’t get along with those of the Blue Gardens. Then Gnomeo (James McAvoy), a Blue, and Juliet (Emily Blunt), a Red, fall in love, leaving many obstacles to overcome.
The film also stars the voices of Michael Caine, Jason Statham, Maggie Smith, Ashley Jensen, Stephen Merchant, Matt Lucas, Jim Cummings, Julie Walters, Richard Wilson, Patrick Stewart, and Ozzy Osbourne.
