Detective duo Sheerluck Holmes and Dr. Watson must answer the call whenever the Golden Ruler, a valued treasure, is stolen from Buckingham Palace, although Sheerluck has trouble learning that he is part of time due to his inflated ego, making Watson feel unneeded. Also, in a bonus story, the tale of Don Quixote is retold in comedic fashion against the backdrop of a failing restaurant.

This is one of my favorite and most memorable episodes of VeggieTales that I recall from my childhood. It gets points for being based upon a property I love (the Sherlock Holmes adventures), but the story and humor all blend pretty well as we get some nice character development from Sheerluck, although it does come off as absurd to me based off the source material. The real gem for me, though, is the Don Quixote prelude story. The humor in it is astonishingly well done, especially the bits with Mr. Lunt, he really gets his time to shine. All in all a solid outing for the VeggieTales crew and one that I have always remembered -- and probably always will.

Content Concerns: Do I really need this on a VeggieTales review? Unless smoking bubbles out of pipe is worrisome, look no further.

Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler

VeggieTales matchup with the great Sherlock (Sheerluck) Holmes and Dr. Watson in sharing a great lesson on friendship. Sheerluck takes all the credit for the solved crimes in the past without mentioning his counterpart, Dr. Watson. Watson gets tired of being treated so ungratefully and must teach the great detective a valuable lesson. Highly recommend.

The Asparagus of LaMancha

Don Quixote must face discouragement as his restaurant, LaMancha, begins to lose business to the up-and-coming, Food Factory. His friend gives him much needed encouragement and doesn't give up on him, in spite of losing his livelihood. Another great lesson on encouragement and friendship. Highly recommend.
