History The original design of Strawberry Shortcake and her cat Custard was done in 1977 by Muriel Fahrion during her time as a greeting card illustrator at American Greetings Juvenile amp Humorous card department After the idea was presented to Bernie Loomis of General Mills and became a licensing entity Fahrion designed a subsequent thirty two characters for Those Characters From Cleveland American Greetings toy amp licensing design division Cindy Moyer Patton and Janet Jones designed the other later characters of the classic Strawberry Shortcake line Lyn Edwards was the editor of the line and along with brainstorm group developed the personality profiles and the story line and philosophy The first doll was a rag doll directed by Muriel Fahrion and created by Susan Trentel Fahrion s sister The Strawberry Shortcake line of characters each had their own fruity or dessert themed name with clothing to match and they each had a dessert or fruit named pet Like the Strawberry Shortcake doll all the other characters dolls had hair scented to match their dessert theme The characters lived and played in a magical world known as Strawberryland During the 1980s Strawberry Shortcake became a huge fad for children throughout the United States At the time there were many related products such as sticker albums clothes a video game by Parker Bros entitled Strawberry Shortcake Musical Match Ups for the Atari 2600 and numerous other products Several TV specials were made featuring the characters one each year between 1980 and 1985 when the fad had waned Kenner produced no new dolls or toys thereafter In 1991 THQ tried reviving the franchise by producing an updated line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls Strawberry and five of her classic friends each got a makeover with new clothes hair and eyes However the line enjoyed at best a modest success lasting just the one year In 2002 the franchise was revived again this time with a revamped look by a different designer Many strong licensing deals were made A television series with new DVD and VHS and in certain markets particularly in Asia Video CD releases was made with soundtracks for the episodes being put out on CDs at certain intervals DiC Entertainment was granted rights in producing the TV series who sub licensed the production of videos DVDs and Video CDs of the series to 20th Century Fox Home Videos who subsequently licenses the production of the video outside the US to various other licensees Bandai along with KellyToy was granted the rights to manufacturing the dolls and

produced In 2006 Playmates Toys picked up the rights to make Strawberry Shortcake figures The line is named A World Of Friends The doll Frosty Puff was new to this line but although a good deal of shuffling and re distribution was made concerning the pets of the re launched characters very few of the new dolls were actually merchandised with pets A full length feature film Strawberry Shortcake The Sweet Dreams Movie premiered in 2006 and released to videos in February 2007 The Playmates line was received with mixed reactions see Criticisms section below from the series fans However overall reaction towards Playmates line was negative As a result Playmates Toys lost the rights to Hasbro who will be putting out new toys beginning fall 2009 after American Greetings reboots the franchise again 1980s Friends Main article List of 1980s Strawberry Shortcake characters There is a bit of wiggle room in a few cases between the introduction of a character and their release as a toy For

year The same is true of Strawberry Shortcake s nemesis The Peculiar Purple Pie Man Plum Puddin also debuted in 1980 but would not get a doll until 1984 by which time the character had switched genders and was now a girl Moreover with the exception of Apple Dumplin Apricot and The Purple Pie Man none of the other characters would come packaged with pets nor indeed would most of them even be known to HAVE pets until the 1982 releases when all the earlier released characters were re issued with their animal friends A couple of the characters weren t produced as dolls at all namely T N

Main article List of Strawberry Shortcake video games The first Strawberry Shortcake videogame was produced in 1983 It was designed for children and thus the software was kept as simple as possible with very simple graphics and sounds the abilities of the Atari 2600 console were very limited No further games based upon the franchise were produced until 20 years later in 2003 with Strawberry Shortcake Amazing Cookie Party for the PC Since then games have been published for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance Sony Playstation 2 PCs and Apple Macintoshes and even a standalone game console based on Konami s Dance Dance Revolution franchise Criticisms Please help improve this article by adding reliable references Unsourced material may be challenged and removed March 2008 General inconsistencies A criticism from long time fans is the inconsistency and retconning of characters pets scents etc that exists between the vintage franchise from the 1980s and the current franchise Some examples are Character names Raspberry Tart s name was changed to Raspberry Torte Almond Tea s name was changed to Tea Blossom Banana Twirl and Lime Chiffon have been replaced by new rather different characters Banana Candy and Lime Light respectively Pets Pupcake now belongs to Strawberry instead of Huck who now has Shoofly Frog Angel Cake no longer has Souffle skunk but instead a lamb named Vanilla Icing Lemon Meringue s pet frog Frappe is replaced by Sourball the skunk possibly explained by the switching of Souffle skunk to Vanilla Icing for Angel Cake and switching of Pupcake to Shoofly Frog for Huck Apple Dumplin s turtle Teatime is replaced by Apple Ducklin Rhubarb Raspberry s pet changed from a monkey to a raccoon This might be explained by the existence of Banana Bongo Tangerina Torta s monkey although Banana Bongo himself was originally introduced as the leader of a monkey band on Seaberry Beach during the story introducing Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight Relationships Previously unmentioned sibling pairs keep popping up such as Strawberry Shortcake and Apple Dumplin and The Purple Pie Man and Sour Grapes There is also some confusion about the relationship between Crepes Suzette and the younger recently introduced Cherry Cuddler Both have cherry scents and early promotional materials indicated that they are sisters However the box for the Playmates doll set indicates they are merely friends Playmates acquisition of the licenses In 2006 Bandai lost the rights of the franchise to Playmates Upon acquiring the license Playmates started making changes to the directions of the franchise Availability Fans have noticed that since Playmates acquisition of license to the franchise merchandise has become scarce especially in regions outside North America Scents Playmates introduction of the 2006 toy line is very loose with the linked scents that have been traditional in this franchise Examples include cherry used for Crepes Suzette and Grape used for Tea Blossom Fillies Ponies In early 2007 Playmates introduced three new ponies but these are different from the previous Strawberryland Fillies The ponies belong to Strawberry Shortcake Angel Cake and Crepes Suzette and are aligned with the Berries to Blossoms doll line The Honey Pie Pony and Milkshake names are not used and neither pony looks like the fillies previously linked to Strawberry and Angel The new ponies are not given names of their own The TV show and the movie As the 2000 series is a complete reboot and redesign of the Strawberry Shortcake universe it invites criticisms from those old enough to remember the original 1980s annual specials regarding various aspects of the new series On the other hand its slice of life format also brought in a new set of fans many of them fans of other slice of life educational programming who were driven to the series having been attracted by the new format of the show Some people were disappointed with the absence of The Purple Pie Man in the TV series However others applauded the removal of villains from the series and were disappointed with the reintroduction of the Pie Man in the Sweet Dreams Movie preferring that the series be kept in its current format an educational slice of life program similar to Arthur or Caillou Two camps clearly exist on this issue There are fans adults and children alike that love the inclusion of antagonists such as Purple Pie Man Sour Grapes and Licorice Whip These fans would like these to continue and to see more of them in movies books and toys However there are others who feel that the inclusion or re inclusion of villains in the show takes away from the primary focus on Strawberry and her friends as well as eroding the educational content
