Sherlock Gnomes doesn't quite have the originality and spark to make it a pop-culture phenomenon. Yet it's still an enjoyable family adventure with a solid message
Sherlock Gnomes comes closest to contemporary big-studio animation that it starts to feel lacking; as with most other things wrong with the Gnomes cycle, kids probably won't mind the repetition--because they've probably forgotten "Gnomeo & Juliet", too
not as annoying as it looks, but hardly a stirring or imaginative entertainment, Sherlock Gnomes has a comfortable home right in the middle of the road
animation that's fantastically detailed and tangible, [Gnomes] look marvelous, but as characters they're on the flat, dull side. Little ones may be charmed, but "Sherlock Gnomes" is benign yet witless, with almost no zip or panache or excitement
