Product Description
The latest serving of VeggieTales‘ offbeat life lessons teaches (but never preaches) the value of friendship and of being considerate of others. The main feature stars Larry the Cucumber as Sheerluck Holmes and his sidekick Bob the Tomato as Watson; together they are London’s crack crime-solving team. But Sheerluck starts to take credit for all the duo’s achievements, leaving Watson to stew in his own juices (and trust us, we’ve worked with cucumbers like that; it’s no fun to be left out). When Watson sulks off, Sheerlock faces just what a pickle things can be without teamwork, thus emphasizing the Golden Rule: “Treat others as you want to be treated.” Bonus features include a tale based on Don Quixote, with delicious surreal dreamscapes and a rich flamenco score. One of the disc’s many highlights is the Silly Song with Larry, “The Gated Community,” whose intricate harmonies and peppily clueless lyrical delivery are worthy of Gilbert & Sullivan (Filbert & Sullivan?). There’s a great behind-the-scenes feature with the creators talking about how long they had wanted to bring this story to the screen; lots of kid-friendly games and sing-alongs; and even a yummy “Bean Dip of LaMancha” recipe that kids demonstrate how to make. The verdict on the entire disc? Delish. –A.T. Hurley
