Synopsis by Heather M. Fierst
When Laura Carrot and Junior Asparagus misunderstand a neighbor, a story that he is a robot starts circulating throughout Bumblyburg. The Rumor Weed feeds on the gossip and spreads its menacing intentions all over town. Supercucumber Larry-Boy is called in to get to the root of the problem. This video teaches children about the negative effects of gossip with clever Batmanish humor and positive "veggie" role models. The horrible Rumor Weed even turns into a beautiful flowering plant when it changes its evil ways. The computer animation and super-hero humor appeal to ages four to eight.
