Strawberry Shortcake – Berry Friends Forever Kid’s DVD

Strawberry Shortcake - Berry Friends Forever Kid's DVD When my daughter was a little girl, she used to watch Strawberry Shortcake on TV all of the time. Matter of fact, she was totally in-love with Strawberry Shortcake and had her bedroom decorated with Strawberry Shortcake linens and home decor things. Now that she is a mother to a beautiful almost 4 year old daughter, she has passed on her love for all things “Strawberry Shortcake” to her.

This brand new kid’s DVD was just released for purchase on March 5th, 2013 and it’s nice to see Strawberry Shortcake back in action again!

Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever:

Life in Berry Bitty City is always better when Strawberry and her friends try their berry best! Princess Berrykin decides to bring back an old tradition, and Blueberry spends so much time worrying about manners that she forgets what’s really important. When a Good Citizens Club is formed, Plum learns that fitting in with others is fine, as long as she follows her heart. Lemon and Raspberry work together to clean up a playground, and soon see the berrytastic value of teamwork. Strawberry helps out the Postmaster Bee, who shows her the value of honest effort. It’s friendship and helping hands to the rescue in these sweet, fun-filled adventures!

Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever DVD Special Features

* “Never Say Never” Music Video
* Printable Coloring Pages
* Total Run Time: 96 minutes

Our Thoughts:  We sat down last weekend to watch the DVD with our almost 4 year old grand daughter and our 27 year old daughter. Since this was a “movie date” with the two of them, we popped some popcorn, made some homemade ice cream and enjoyed our family time together.

One of the things we have always loved about Strawberry Shortcake is how she always values her friends and the friendships that they share. As women (girls) we all know how important our friends are to us! In addition, teamwork, sharing, caring and supporting one another is always inter-twined in the Strawberry Shortcake story lines.

Princess Gia absolutely loved this new DVD…from start to finish! Matter of fact, since receiving the DVD she has been watching it over and over again! Seriously, this is her new FAVORITE program to watch! The story lines, graphics/animations, sound, etc. are all perfect on this DVD. As a grandparent, I love watching the DVD along with her because she loves to sing, dance, clap and laugh…right along with all of the Strawberry Shortcake characters. Too much fun!

We give this new kid’s DVD a 10 stars out of 10 stars! Our DVD also came with a free code to get a very cool Strawberry Shortcake photo app for free and she has been having a lot of fun with that too! Yay! A big 2-thumbs up on this one!
