When Emily and I were little girls, cute, adorable little pig-tailed cousins growing up in Ohio, we loved Strawberry Shortcake. I had several Strawberry Shortcake dolls and I am pretty sure my mom still has my Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag somewhere in her attic. And when I was three and Emily was not quite two, our moms had out pictures taken in Strawberry Shortcake outfits:
All together, now: “Awww…”. I know, the cuteness is hard to stand, isn’t it?
ANYWAYS, when Strawberry Shortcake started to make a comeback, Emily and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to turn our daughters into little mini-me’s. Em is already well on her way with this, as at four, Kate really loves Strawberry Shortcake. I’m just getting started with Sophie but trust me I will have her worshipping at the shrine of SS in no time. So, Emily and I were pleased to be asked to review the new Strawberry Shortcake DVD, Strawberry Shortcake: Happily Ever After.
In this DVD, Strawberry and her friends remake the fairy tales Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel using the charming Strawberry Shortcake characters, lots of music, and bright, colorful animation. Sophie especially loved the songs. She’s only two but this DVD really held her attention because there was so much to look at! Each story also has a great lesson to teach, about friendship, and about being true to yourself. The first story, Sleeping Beauty, was my favorite, because it was about feeling left out and good communication in friendships, something I had a hard time with as a kid.

I was a big fan as a little girl and now I have my own little girl to share Strawberry Shortcake with!

I loved Strawberry Shortcake as a kid, and hopefully my daughter will too. At my moms house she gets to play with my old Strawberry Shortcake doll who if you squezze her tummy she blows strawberry kisses and yes you can still smell the strawberries. I was looking at the doll and found a copyright of 1982 on her. I thought it was so funny.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I am the strawberry shortcake fan! My mom still has one of the dolls, in a ziploc bag, and sometimes when I go home I take it out. It’s the smell of my childhood!

I can proudly say that it is a tie between Mommy and little daughter in our house. I have all of my dolls from the 80’s and I get them out on occassion so that we can play with them together. They are starting to get a bit fragile at around 25 years old. Does that make them antiques? I feel old.

Ok first of all? That photo is all sorts of adorable.
Both my daughters (ages 3 and 6) are actually big Strawberry Shortcake fans. This would be a great DVD for them to watch when we drive to Florida next month. WOOT!

My daughter is just getting into Strawberry Shortcake. She’s always asking to watch it on tv. It’s not on very often here. We need a movie!
February 11th, 2009 at 1:39 am
I love Strawberry Shortcake. I’ve taught my daughter to love her as well. We love the cartoons as well as the books and toys. Can’t wait to see the new movie.

My sister is a SS fan-I bit the leg off of one of her small, plastic SS when I was small and she was devastated! It would be a gift for her and her girls!
February 11th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I have two girls and they are both big fans. They both have shirts too. I should get their picture taken in them. Yours was definitely cute!
February 12th, 2009 at 3:16 am
My sister is actually he SS fan. She has always loved her since she was little and still has her original dolls.
February 12th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
I would have to say that I am the biggest Strawberry Shortcake fan! My daughter is two, and is still learning about SS, but I know she will be a big fan as she gets older:-) I am trying to help her with a SS backpack and a cute SS teeshirt!
February 12th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
I can still sing the song and now my daughter loves Strawberry Shortcake. I even saved my SS lunchbox and she uses it. Thank you!

Awww! My daughter is too young for Strawberry Shortcake, but I can still remember the smell of my Strawberry Shortcake necklace I had over twenty-something years ago.
