I create this thread to talk about Strawberry Shortcake episodes and DVD releases.
First I'd like to recite which SSC episodes I've already seen, with dates, mostly for myself, though this way maybe I also remind you of some berry kind moments.
06.21.: Let's Dance
06.25.: Berry Big Journeys
06.26.: Growing up Dreams
07.02.: Big Country Fun
07.03.: Berry Brick Road
07.09.: Happily Ever After
07.10.: Berrywood, Here We Come!
07.13.: Meet Strawberry Shortcake
So I finally watched my DVD, "Meet Strawberry Shortcake", I'll talk about it later. I saw all the other episodes on TV. Anyway, I've found out that the TV channel doesn't broadcast the episodes in order of releases. Moreover, the DVD releases are also mixed up a little here. (For example, "Spring for Strawberry Shortcake" is labeled as the 3rd DVD in Hungary, while according to Wikipedia, it's really the 2nd DVD release.) Anyway, all the episodes are released here (even "Berry Brick Road), however "The Sweet Dreams Movie" is not released in Hungary, or at least I couldn't find anything about it.
About the DVD, I'm a bit of dissatisfied by its quality. It contains the episode in 3 languages: Hungarian, Czech, English. Though the menus are only available in Hungarian and Czech, not in English. There are no subtitles. The menu screen shows both the Hungarian and the Czech SSC logo in the right and left corners of the screen - they didn't bother to create different splash screens for the two languages. When I select "Play", a short commercial is shown that tells me to buy the other SSC DVDs from the publisher, and then the show starts. The only problem that the commercial is pretty loud, while the movie itself is pretty quiet, even related to the menu. Right, just turn up the volume, but when the menu returns, or you start the episode again (so the loud commercial is shown again), you'll get a shock of the sound. The Extras menu contains descriptions of some characters. These descriptions are quite poor and they even have some grammatical errors. After all the movie's quality is acceptable, and that is the point.
As I expected, "Meet Strawberry Shortcake" was more childish than I got used to, and so I think I prefer the season 4 episodes. Though I still liked the first episode after all, I didn't get disappointed, it was just like I expected it to be. And I'm curious about all the other episodes as well.
And I am sad - curious why? I've found out that I've seen almost all the season 4 episodes. I've seen a bit of even the two remaining ones (I just missed the beginning of them). I expected the TV channel to restart the series from the very beginning when it gets to the end of it, but instead it will broadcast a different show in Strawberry's former timeframe. That means I'll be left without Strawberry Shortcake for a berry lot of time. And now I'm really regretting that I didn't buy more DVDs in the supermarket. Who knows when will I find discounted SSC DVDs again? So I'm quite sad because I miss Strawberry, I want to see more episodes! Can you tell me something to cheer me up?
