Following the release of Big Idea’s VeggieTales: Sheerluck Homes and the Golden Ruler DVD, the film has received positive feedback from numerous critics.
Based on Proverbs 17:17, Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler helps kids discover a valuable lesson in friendship through the story of Larry the Cucumber, as detective dynamo Sheerluck Holmes, and Bob the Tomato, as his venerable sidekick. Together their superlative powers of observation and forensic fortitude can solve any crime. But because Sheerluck takes all the credit for the pair’s sleuthing savvy, the missing Golden Ruler – the most valuable and prized treasure in all of Buckingham Palace – may never be recovered. The story challenges Sheerluck to remember the all-important golden rule in time to rescue the ruler and save his friendship.
Here are some reviews on the film:
