DVD Reviews of The Strawberry Shortcake Movie: Sky's the Limit
DVD Review: Not nearly as good as the older DVD's!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to start off by saying my kids and I did not make it all the way through this movie. That alone is a huge sign because all three of my kids (even my four year old son)love Strawberry Shortcake. I grew up playing with the original version way back in the day and my oldest daughter started out with what was to be the first version of the new Strawberry. We all loved these movies and the toys as well.
The movies were very sweet and upbeat with very likable characters for the most part. Then not too long after they changed strawberry and "updated" her again. I must say it annoyed me a tad that they felt the need to change the characters looks because I actually liked the fact that they actually looked like kids. The newer version was a tad bit older looking, maybe tween looking you could say. However thankfully the voices and the storylines for the most part remained the same. Still lots of catchy sweet songs and all our favorite characters with some new ones thrown in. All three of my kids easily adapted to the new Strawberry and loved them both.
So today with much anticipation we began to watch this movie. It was very clear from the beginning that this was not going to be what we were used to. I kept an open mind and kept watching. Sadly it just kept going downhill. The first really strange thing were the little berry creatures. They really made no sense and were sort of creepy I think. Then we noticed Custard the cat wasn't talking which I didn't mind because I find that character beyond annoying. My kids noticed this right off the bat though and didn't like this change. Then it was obvious that Strawberry and all her friends not only looked different, they sounded different as well.
Gone are all of the girls' distinct personalities and quirks. Now the girls just sort of look and sound like teenage versions of their former selves...well except they left their personalities behind. They all just sort of have what I would call whiny mall rat type voices, very generic.
The storyline was confusing to me at best. I guess I was just so thrown off by all the differences that I wasn't paying enough attention maybe? One thing I can tell you is that as far as we made it through the movie there weren't any songs but I have read on here that there are actually a few which I would like to hear but I would imagine they aren't great.
I guess I think they should have just left Strawberry and her friends alone. I'm not exactly sure the demographic they are looking for now but it's an older one for sure. The thing is I really don't see older girls getting into this and it's too boring for most young girls. I don't mind Strawberry's new look really because it is cute. However like I said before it was a breath of fresh air when the first new Strawberry came out to have a little girl character looking sweet and normal in a shirt and jeans. I don't see why they have to always sort of give everything the bratz doll treatment. Yes the new version is cute but I just don't know why all the little girls characters have to always be so glammed up?
I would give this zero stars if I could. I don't think it says much for this character when they retool it three times in just a few years. I feel like they are taking a great character and running it into the ground. If you are already a fan then rent this one and give it a shot but don't go in expecting much and keep hold of your older Strawberry DVD's.
