The literary Gnome franchise is in full swing: 2011's Gnomeo & Juliet now finds itself a sequel in Sherlock Gnomes, with an all-star cast to boot.

An exclusive clip sees Paris (Stephen Merchant) staging a production of the Princess and the Frog, starring Benny (Matt Lucas) and Nanette (Ashley Jensen), with Reggie the gargoyle (Dexter Fletcher) keen to watch the action unfold.

Lord Redbrick is on hand to make sure Paris keeps on track, while Gnomeo (James McAvoy) himself is seen sneaking behind, hoping not to get caught.

The plot sees Sherlock Gnomes (Johnny Depp) and Gnome Watson (Chiwetel Ejiofor) team up with Gnomeo and Juliet (Emily Blunt) to solve the case and find their missing friends and family.

The cast also includes the likes of Mary J. Blige, Maggie Smith, Julie Walters, Richard Wilson, and Ozzy Osbourne.

Sherlock Gnomes hits UK cinemas 11 May.
