VeggieTales
Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler
Big Idea

Sheerluck Holmes was good, but it pales in comparison to Lord of the Beans. They really set the bar high with that one and I think it’s going to be hard to reach that mark every time. This particular DVD failed to captivate our test audience (kids are a wonderful asset) and the story didn’t flow that well. We miss the days when the Veggies held to more Biblical lessons. It’s not that friendship isn’t an important topic, but it’s certainly not Esther or Josh and the Big Wall.

Synopsis

Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler features Larry the Cucumber as detective dynamo Sheerluck Holmes and Bob the Tomato as his venerable sidekick Dr. Watson. Together their superlative powers of observation and forensic fortitude can solve any crime. But because Sheerluck takes all the credit for the pair’s sluthing savvy, the missing Golden Ruler – the most valuable and prized treasure in all of Buckingham Palace – may never be recovered. Will Sheerluck remember the all-important golden rule in time to rescue the ruler and save his friendship? Sherluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler helps kids discover a valuable lesson in friendship based on Proverbs 17:17.

Veggie Tales: Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler will be released March 11th in Christian Book Stores and general market stores after the 14th. The Veggie characters will also be taking their show on the road this spring. For dates and locations check http://www.bigidea.com/events.
