Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City

If you ever watched Tom and Jerry or the roadrunner and the Wiley Coyote you can see there's a lot of classic cartoon antics and over expressions that are just pure cartoon! Unlike the duo dynamic of many old cartoons, this features a group of friends and even the villains can become friends. It's super upbeat without toxic positivity. My favorite change in this rendition of strawberry shortcake is the pets they take a more starring role and are cuter than ever. I love the overdramatic bold loud storytelling. A really solid short form cartoon for children. Kind of wish they might have a longer episode and go into deeper lore about berry works and the her lucky spoon.

Firstly, instead of cartoons like Popeye, which inspire kids to eat spinach, here's a cartoon which overwhelms kids with sugary characters. Names. Puns and literally everything.

Secondly, plot is pretty dumb even for little kids. I have no idea why would anyone want to watch this, except for the protagonist which is a fun and sweet character.

Why is this show even on air? There's no audience for which this show is apt, no age group would feel enticed by this show and even if they would, this would still be a show about desserts with brainless plot even for a kids' show. Although, one more thing that it's got going for it is that the runtime is less, so at least that's good.

I've been watching this series because Strawberry Shortcake was something I was into when I was younger, and it's definitely something I would've enjoyed if it had been around back then.

Where the show shines is in its cast of main characters, its humor, and in the unique and important lessons it teaches, which usually manage to be a bit outside the scope of what you'd expect to see. For a kid's show, I think it's impressive when its resolutions are ones that I tend not to see coming.

With that said, the show flounders just a bit when it comes to worldbuilding -- which may seem petty when I'm talking about a kids' property like this. The main, recurring cast of characters are all distinct, funny, and likable, but the big-city and background characters all feel just a bit too ordinary. Supposedly, this all takes place in a world where everyone is themed after a type of desert or something, but you wouldn't glean that just by looking at the background characters. It's usually only their names that fit the theming, which makes the names feel out of place.

It might not be something a lot of kids would take issue with, and that's all fine and good. I just think that a little more effort could be put into the worldbuilding and character design, is all. But other than that, the show's pretty great.

Got nostalgic and looked up the show but bruh this ain't it bring back the one from the mid 2000's lmao.

I don't like it because it's changing all characters all of there quality and you guys didn't even try to add detail and you change the color of there skin,hair, and way they act also you turned grape in to a boy I feel it's ruin a lot of people's way of seeing it I just don't like the new it's not even keeping the 3d and the blueberry is way different from his kind heart I miss the strawberry short cake from the oldest to not the newest.example Matilda they change it. So you can keep your show and all but I will not be watching any of your episodes soon or ever I'm mad about this cause!!!!!!!
