Summary: My kids love it!
Review: Folk's sometimes you just have to leave your past in the past. Seems this is a new version of the dessert kid, revived for the current generation. That's right the movie was made for our kids, it's ok to let your childhood rest peacefully. Look I'm personally still upset that Duke's no longer head hancho at GI Joe. With that said lets just give the new kid a chance.

I've got three preschoolers and one in big K, all four of them really like this movie. It has a decent story and nice, well written music and songs. I could see this becoming yet one more cartoon I'm forced to watch regularly. My kids love it and that's who it's made for so I'm giving it five stars (even though I want to put my boot in the cat's furry little butt, every time she opens her mouth).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sweet and Adorable
Review: Frankly there is a lot of garbage out there that is marketed to our kids, and this video while not perfect is, in my opinion, a much better option than a great number of the shows and cartoons out there.

The themes of caring, sharing, working together and accepting diversity are terrific. My three year old daughter is enamored with all things SCC. My six year old boy, also enjoys the music, and identifies with the character "Huck". I just wish there were more non-violent options for little boys.

I will agree with other reviewers that find the cat annoying. I think the writers were going for a "Morris the Cat" type of attitude, but just ended up with a cat that is plain rude-- and is not likeable on any level.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just the way I remembered!
Review: Growing up, I was a Strawberry Shortcake fanatic. I was heartbroken when I tape I had broke. But then I found out that there were adventures on DVD! Meet Strawberry Shortcake introduces you to all of the characters. And it's a great show to teach children morals. For instance, Meet Strawberry Shortcake tackles the concepts of friendship, sharing, and anti-prejudices. Custard, Strawberry's cat, is all about her own species. She eventually learns that others not like her are not that bad. Great, Great, GREAT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Slightly Modernized Version
Review: I got to curl up with my five-year-old daughter last night and watch this DVD with her, something she has been begging me to do since I brought it home for her the other day. I myself was never a big fan of the original, but my daughters both love all things sticky-sweet! And this filled the bill.

Strawberry Shortcake has never been strong on story line, and apparently never will be judging by this new version. It's basically a silly story about two sisters, (one a baby!) who live in a world completely devoid of adults. They decide to celebrate Apple Dumpling's birthday, (this being the baby sister) and set off to journey around their strange child-world looking for things they will need- cake, cookies, juice, ect. And surprise- they make many new friends along the way!

The things I like- the annimation is lovely and colorful, the interaction between Strawberry Shortcake and her baby sister is great- every mother's unrealized dream for their sibling children. (Too bad they don't have one to appreciate it!)

The things I don't like- her horrible cat, Custard. Her puppy can't talk, and you'll quickly wish this rude cat couldn't, either. And of course, a little story line improvement wouldn't hurt!

Still, I have to give it four stars because Strawberry Shortcake never claims to be more than it is, which is the purest form of entertainment for little girls. Nothing more, nothing less! My daughter was completely captivated, giggling and glowing through the entire program- which was at least her fifth or sixth viewing. She especially loves Pupcake, the little blue puppy that is always getting into trouble. I smiled a lot too, but mostly at my ridiculously happy daughter!

Summary: A Disgrace
Review: I think I should say first that a bold warning label should be on each of these new videos: "CONTAINS POINTLESS PLOTS ALONG WITH WHINING AND SARCASTIC CHARACTERS THAT TEACH UNPLEASANT HABITS TO YOUNG CHILDREN."
These pointless plots contain contradictory statements such as "better wait 'til after lunch" when a cookie was requested even though they just emerged from a "cookie factory" (having eaten the whole time they were there), as well as encouraging children to eat chocolate when they are upset, and excusing rude and sarcastic comments with "Oh, she has a good heart". This is not even the HALF of it!! I NEED MORE ROOM!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DO NOT buy this junk
Review: I totally agree with the last reviewer. The dolls and the videos are nothing but garbage. They are a disgrace and an embarressment to the dolls and cartoons of the 80's. Whoever came up with the new straberry shortcake garbage should be ashamed of themselves. Whoever brought back the care bears thoug- did it right. They didnt try changing ANYTHING. The stuffed animals look exactly how l remember them. Its such a shame how they disgraced the fond memories I have of the classic Strawberry Shortcake. RIP Strawberry!

Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST...
Review: I was a huge fan of strawberry shortcake when I was a little girl and when I found out that she was coming back out I was just so excited. I bought the DVD for my god-daughter and she loves it. She knows all strawberry shortcakes friends and just adores her little sister apple dumplin and the cutest thing is that the DVD actually smells like strawberries. This was the best gift I have gotten her in a long time and I just love watching it with her and singing along to all the cute songs. I recommend this to any strawberry shortcake fan out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love it !!
Review: My 6-year-old, like many these days, has a fine collection of videos. Some of these we can watch and enjoy together. Not so with "Strawberry Shortcake," but that's not a problem. Fact is, this introduction to Strawberry, little sister Apple Dumpling, friends Ginger Snap, Angel Cake, etc., and her pets Pupcake and Custard, is as sweet as the characters' names suggests, and everything is aimed at the level of the pre-gradeschool set. It shows these characters working together and solving problems even when they occasionally disagree. It also has a bouncy musical track and a music video after the end titles.

OK, so the animation is the cheapo kind that the aficianado will carp about. OK, so the plot is silly and the characters one-dimensional. It reaches its audience nicely, tells a positive story, and, frankly, creates a desire for tied-in merchandise. What else is new? My daughter loves it and yours probably will too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun introduction to Strawberry Shortcake.......
Review: My daughter just started taking an interest in Strawberry Shortcake after we purchased a SSC book for her. We gave her this DVD for her 3rd birthday and she has watched it countless times since!

This adorable DVD introduces Strawberry Shortcake and her friends to new SSC fans. Pupcake, Custard, Ginger Snap, Angel Cake, Orange Blossom and Huckleberry Pie are introduced in this story as Strawberry goes on a hunt for treats for her sister Apple Dumpling's bday. She meets Ginger, Angel, Orange and Huckleberry along the way.

My daughter and her big brother enjoy watching this DVD with its colorful and bright visuals, bouncy songs, cheerful characters (excepting Custard, that is) and themes of friendship and helping one another. As a parent, I give it two thumbs up!! The only complaint I may have would be the portrayal of Custard as a grumpy, whiny little cat but at least by the end she learns to appreciate differences in others. And why does Custard talk but Pupcake doesn't? Anyway, my kids love the show so - my curiosity aside - in the end this is all that really matters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABOSLUTLEY THE BEST
Review: My daughter loves this movie. It is so cute, we have had it for about a week now and I have seen it about 15-20 times. MUST HAVE.
