In other news, VeggieTales: Sheerluck Homes and the Golden Ruler, an “edge-of-you-seat” mystery that teaches the importance of friendship, will hit stores everywhere on DVD and VHS March 11 and 14, 2006 in Christian and general market stores respectively.

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.

Special bonus features include Behind the Scenes, Progression Reel, Audio Commentary, Trivia, Sing Along, Bean Dip of LaMancha Veggie Recipe, Family Activity, Sheerluck & the Super Sleuth mini-feature, How to Draw Sheerluck Holmes & Poncho, Easter Eggs, LarryBoy, Gideon and Live Show trailers.
