I couldnt believe it when this dvd came out!! I was a 1980's Strawberry Shortcake fan when I was a kid. I bought the dvd for me, really to reminisce but to my surprise, as the animation is obviously dated, my 2 year old daughter loves it!! It is just cute, very basic but I think little girls will enjoy it. My daughter isnt one to sit through a show longer than 30 mins (if im lucky!!) but she will watch this from beginning to end!!

I loved the 80's Strawberry Shortcake. I love their costumes so much more than the ones today, and I think Russi Taylor IS Strawberry Shortcake! What a cute voice.
When my daughter was born, I collected many vintage dolls and toys for her from that Kenner collection of the 80's (including dolls from Brazil; my favorite being Little Coffee) and she strongly prefers the vintage stuff to the new stuff. Her number one favorite is Plum Puddin' (as a girl). The new stuff is okay, but like My Little Pony, its very different in its modern incarnation. The original cartoons had two adversaries; the Peculair Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak and Sour Grapes. The new stuff didn't feature these fabulous villians at first, but added them later in a sort of role reversal with Sour Grapes being timid and softer and PPPM being hard and evil. I still like the old versions of them better.

Personally, we are waiting for the Berrykins episode and the House Warming episodes of the the 80's series to be released on DVD. I wish they'd just package them as one collection. At any rate, I had a bad bootleg copy on VHS tape and it was so poor, some of it was just "snow" on the screen. I'm so glad they finally are putting these out. If you love SSC or have a young child, these episodes are worth adding to the collection. In the end, they're all about being good and helping others.

I've been a Strawberry Shortcake fan for the longest! I will definitely keep the tradition going...hope more vintage things become available in the future!

The is the real authentic original Strawberry Shortcake (SS) cartoon that was made in the 1980's. The Strawberry Shortcake 2000 year cartoons where she is wearing a straw hat and jeans is a joke...they should not even be allowed to call it Strawberry Shortcake- what an insult. It is a whole nother cartoon and characters it should be called something else and not associtated with such a classic as the true 80's Strawberry Shortcake classic cartoon. Growing up on SS I am thrilled the real deal on finally on dvd for the new generation to enjoy and appriciate. I hate those fake foney SS re-make new adventure millinium garbage. Buy the classic ones! All you 80's babies and Parnets of 80's babies know what I'm talking about.

These movies are GREAT!!! As a young girl I watched these same movies as tv specials, and then later on vhs. These stories are sweet, wholesome, and timeless. I am thrilled that now I can share these same movies with my little ones.

I grew up with the original Strawberry Shortcake. When she became popular again I was excited that my daughter would be able to grow up with her also. How disappointed I was that the new cartoons are nothing like the original ones. Imagine my delight when I saw the originals are now being brought to DVD. Now my daughter and I can enjoy them together!

I have been waiting for this to come to dvd for so long now. They been putting alot of the 80's on dvd ( rainbow brite, he-man, TNMNT, Care Bears) Finally Strawberry Shortcake. I really hope the continue with the rest of them entitled Pets on Parade, Strawberry Meets the Berrykins ( my favorite), Housewarming Surprise, Baby without a name thens theres a few of Baby Strawberry. But on this particular dvd you get World of Strawberry & Big apple city which a great Start. If they continue looks for those titles.
Have a BERRY happy day and turn that frown upside down..

My sister and I watched this as kids...we had an old tape of it that we've watched a million times. When I found this, I just had to get it (and call my sister to let her know...she freaked out, too). Maybe it isn't the cartoon like today...but it's still great. This was the original Strawberry Shortcake! :)

This is the perfect DVD for any little girl! (or big girl that grew up on these DVD's!) They just don't make cartoons like they used to!

My two year old daughter loves this DVD! We also have the recent movie on DVD that is all computer graphics and she doesn't watch that one. In the original cartoon the characters are drawn old school and I love it! The songs are sweet and catchy. The voice of the old man sun is perfect too. My daughter was deeply concerned for the 'berry folk' when a watering can was jinxed but after several viewings she looked forward to anticipating the event. Now she imitates the little dance and song of The Peculiar Purple Pie-Man of Porcupine Peak!
