Synopsis:

Written and Directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) during his time at Japans largest animation studio, TMS. Before he went on to create Totoro and Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki captured a whole generation of childrens imaginations with his retelling of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries using a loveable cast of canines. For the first time ever in the UK, all 26 episodes of the cult toon classic are collected into one deluxe box set. Sherlock Hound, released as either Famous Detective Holmes or Detective Holmes in Japan, is an anime based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes series where all the characters are depicted as anthropomorphic animals, the majority dogs, though Holmes is a fox and his enemy Professor Moriarty is a wolf. The show featured regular appearances of Jules Verne-steampunk style technology, adding a 19th-century science-fiction atmosphere to the series. The DVD is available in English model and not in Japanese Model.

SHERLOCK HOUND is a delightful and lighthearted take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories that feature dogs taking the place of the human roles. Directed by some of Japan's greatest talents, such as Hayao Miyazaki (PRINCESS MONONOKE), SHERLOCK HOUND is an entertaining series that is sure to captivate children of all ages.
