Along the way, they learn the lesson from the story: if you have a problem, talk about it. He decided he wants the theater, and Strawberry and her friends have to find a way to thwart him - and of course they do. They reopen a local theater to do so, and the evil Pie Man (one of my favorite characters, especially with his twisty mustache!) appears. In the second part, Strawberry and friends head back to Strawberryland and want to make their own movie. Strawberry Shortcake to the rescue! The moral to the story is that everyone is special and can be a star, and of course Limelight's movie is soon a smashing success. Limelight is not happy because she doesn't feel like she's successful. Limelight is a movie star, but the life they are expecting to see isn't exactly there. In the first part, Strawberry Shortcake heads off to Berrywood with her friends to go visit a friend - appropriately named Limelight. In Berrywood Here We Come, there are two parts to the movie, which makes it great to either watch the whole thing or just part one or part two if we're short on time. The first time we popped one in, they sat still and silent throughout - even Mister Man loved them, although he later told me that they weren't quite as cool as Legos. The wee ones have added these movies to their collection of acceptable movie viewing, and they are thrilled. As always these movies aren't just cute and sweet, they have a moral to them that helps teach a life lesson that I'm working on reinforcing at home. There are quite a few movies that have been created for Strawberry Shortcake over the years, and two more have just been released: Berrywood Here We Come and The Glimmerberry Ball Movie. Their makeover has given them a far more sophisticated (and, granted, modern) look, but their relatively innocent exploits continue. Granted, the characters no longer look quite the same as they once did. The fad of Strawberry Shortcake faded as I grew older, but it has been revived in the past several years. I think I had almost all the dolls and their accessories, including Strawberry's house (which was a strawberry, as was the trolley). They were so sweet and fun - and the little personalities that they created to fit their names were hilarious. I loved the dolls, and the song is now going through my head just thinking about them. I still remember the trip to the White Plains Mall to buy the $7 toy. In fact, the first thing I ever saved my money for (from my palty allowance!) was the butterfly that Orange Blossom rode, Flitter-Bit (not to be confused with her small pet Marmalade). I remember Strawberry Shortcake from when I was a child. I received no compensation, and all opinions expressed are my own. In the interest of full disclosure, I received a copy of Strawberry Shortcake's "Berrywood Here We Come" and "The Glimmberberry Ball Movie" for review purposes.
