Editorial Reviews

Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: . It’s time to celebrate the first frost in Berryland. As the girls prepare for the festivities, they secretly share gifts. Viewers see how fun it can be to give gifts to others and how important it is to give people gifts that they appreciate, not gifts the giver appreciates. during their preparations for the ball, viewers learn about seasons and the importance of working together. Some viewers might not appreciate the excessive sweetness of the characters, but others will embrace the examples of kindness and sharing, even if it’s not very realistic. Child Juror Comments: I liked this movie because it’s a fun movie to watch, and I also like Strawberry Shortcake. I think the pictures were really good because Strawberry Shortcake and her friends look different than other ones. The music had some catchy tunes. The characters treated each other really nicely like when a friend had a problem, the other friend helped them. One time Raspberry wanted to make a really good glimmerberry thing, and she made a design that was on the cover of the book. Everyone else did the same thing, and she thought that everyone was copying. Strawberry showed how it was on the cover of the book, and said maybe they all saw it, but didn’t notice. My favorite part was when they helped the chipmunks by throwing them a hibernation party. The chipmunks were really cute when they were asleep. Ages 5-8.

Product Description

Celebrate winter with Strawberry Shortcake and friends at the Glimmerberry Ball. It’s a delightful, fun-filled time as the girls exchange presents, solve a hollow tree mystery, and set out to carve the most beautiful Glimmerberry lantern ever. Just like Strawberry says, "The whole community will come together and work together and help each other--friends helping friends--during the long months of winter. That’s the real meaning behind it!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet stories, September 2, 2010

This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake: The Glimmerberry Ball Movie (DVD)

There are three stories that flow together all surrounding the upcoming First Frost, and ending with the Glimmerberry Ball. I had to give it five stars because my four year old loved it, and I loved that it doesn't have anything offensive in it. No one is rude or calls each other names. There are no references to pop culture. Everyone is supportive of one another, and it's just a sweet simple movie for young girls to enjoy. And the best part, no bad guys!

3.0 out of 5 stars Daughters love it, I can't get over the new look..., October 19, 2010

This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake: The Glimmerberry Ball Movie (DVD)

Typing on behalf of my 2 and 5 year old daughters, they would say...we love this movie! We love anything Strawberry Shortcake.

But since I"m the one typing, I will say, the movie itself is fine, but I HATE the new strawberry shortcake. Hate the new look, hate the new toys, hate the new voice, hate the new movies. I think I made my point. Why do they always have to change a good thing? There was NOTHING wrong with the old strawberry shortcake, why did they change her, make her super itty bitty, give her a less friendly voice, and go back to making Custard the cat not talk? We always love a talking pink cat.

On a positive note...Angel Cake is gone...I remember as a child, she was my FAVORITE I loved her hair, clothes, smell, just thought she was really neat...but in the previous SS cake movies she was, as my 5 yr old describes her, bossy and whiney..which always made me angry they did that to her. In the new SScake series, they have eliminated the character and seem to have used Lemon to fill her spot. No more Huck or Purple Pieman, or Sour Grapes, which kinda made us sad. There is no true trouble maker in Berry Bitty City anymore which may be seen as a plus for the new ones and better for viewing by younger children.

Anyway, if your kids love SS, they will love this movie, and prob the new doll they sell to go with it.


UPDATE: I have to edit my review...after watching the new shows on the new kids channel..The Hub; I have to admit, that the new Strawberry Shortcake is growing on me, though it did take awhile. Actually, my daughter is starting to lose interest in her, funny how that works!

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor title for the movie, November 29, 2010

My granddaughters, 2yrs. & 4 yrs., did not like this dvd as much as others. They love Strawberry Shortcake but kept waiting for the Glimmerberry Ball to begin. It was in the very last few minutes of the movie and only lasted for seconds. Because of the title, they expected to see a ball with girls in pretty dresses dancing around. It just seemed like a poor title for the movie.
