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!

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!

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.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter got this movie as a present and we have watched it about 20 times in the last week. I was skeptical about the new look of the characters at first but, I actually prefer watching the new characters now. My 4 year old son will even sit and watch it with us once in a while. Needless to say, my daughter absolutely LOVES this movie and I am hunting for more DVD's of the new Strawberry Shortcake to add a little variety since we have just about memorized these 3 episodes.

My almost three year old loves this movie ... and so do the three other little girls in our playgroup aged 2, 3, and 4. A big hit in our house and one that gets played over (and over) again.

My girls and I saw this in the Theater and they fell in love with it. Can't wait to give it to them for Christmas.

My granddaughters, ages 7 and 4 now, have enjoyed watching this movie now for about year or better. It has a cute story line and educates kid on how to help each other, and everyone have a part, as well as understanding others feelings. A good product!

I loved Strawberry growing up and my daughters love her now. This movie is exactly as expected and true to Strawberry form: no violence, no conflict and no worries. My kids watch it over and over and over ...

my daughter likes this strawberry shortcake, not the strawberry shortcake I used to watch when I was little. But its ok, I like this one better too. We have all the strawberry shortcake movies like this one, they need to make more!!

I purchased this DVD for my beautiful niece who currently wants to 'be' Strawberry Shortcake. She loved the video, and was a hit for her 4th birthday.
