In this highly anticipated DVD, VeggieTales®: Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry’s Big River Rescue, Bob and Larry star as the adventuresome duo in a creative veggie take on the great American classics of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Introducing the brand-new silly song, “The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo”, and a boatload of family-friendly bonus features, the new DVD arrives at Canadian Christian retailers on July 12th.

Written by VeggieTales co-creator and natural born storyteller Phil Vischer, this heartwarming story takes Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry on an unforgettable journey where they discover an important lesson in helping others inspired by James 4:17. “Sometimes not helping someone can be just as bad as actually hurting them,” says Vischer.
