TRIVIA

  • You can see Pupcake sing “A Berry Happy Birthday” along with everyone else. Unless he’s lip-syncing - a certain possibility indeed - such shouldn’t be happening since the dog can’t speak a human language. edit »
  • In the first viewing of Apple Dumplin’s birthday cake, the apple is topped with icing. Come the next shot, the icing disappears and remains missing for the time’s remainder. edit »
  • Orange Blossom pours some purple-colored juice into a bowl for Pupcake, orange juice into cups for Strawberry Shortcake and Apple Dumplin’, and more purple juice into another bowl for Custard…all from the same pitcher. edit »
  • When introduced, Ginger Snap is loading up a wagon with pastries other than cookies. Whether she made them herself or received them from elsewhere, such doesn’t happen again until further notice. edit »
  • Seeing as how the artists’ drawing skills still have a long way to go, most characters’ pupils tend to blur off and on with their irises (except Honey Pie). Such continues for the next three episodes even for guest stars. On the other hand, Custard’s pupils are missing for the most part but are better established in the next episode. edit »
  • Following the episode's first three minutes, Strawberry Shortcake's mouth is moving after she's spoken her line. This mismatched recording error occurs a few more times as the episode progresses. edit »

  • Strawberry Shortcake: I don't think we're in Cakewalk anymore. edit »
  • Honey Pie: But this reminds me of the time I was in "Prance". And I was trotting; and then I was cantering; and before I knew it, I was galloping... (trails off)
    Custard: You just told us that story.
    Honey Pie: But did I tell you how everyone yelled "Hi-ho, Honey" when they saw me approaching? edit »
  • Honey Pie: Upper Hat Rack? One of my favorite places. Similar to Upper Coat Rack, but less touristy. edit »
  • Honey Pie: In fact, this reminds me of the time I was touring the fields of Scotberry and the king invited me to a game of polo... (time passes) And then there was the time that I opened for the Olympic jumpers... (more time passes) Once a sleigh of reindeer came through, and they asked directions too. edit »
  • Strawberry Shortcake: (pauses trip in maze) Wait a minute. Didn't we just come this way?
    Custard: I told you to take the low road. Hmph.
    (Later...)
    Strawberry Shortcake: This doesn't seem right either.
    Custard: I told you to take the high road.
    (Even later)
    Custard: Why didn't you take the middle road? edit »
  • Angel Cake: Custard, my friend, you bring a certain skill to this project that only a cat can.
    Strawberry Shortcake: See, Custard? Someone appreciates you.
    Custard: Probably just because of my tidy tongue. edit »
  • Strawberry Shortcake: (about Apple Dumplin') Isn't she berry cute?
    (Strawberry and Apple giggle)
    Custard: She'd be a lot cuter if she had whiskers and a tail. Hmph! edit »

NOTES

  • On DVD packaging and other merchandise, a different character model is used for Apple Dumplin'. Her outfit is slightly more detailed, but most notably, her hair is yellow rather than reddish-orange and she has a somewhat different hairstyle. Additionally, Strawberry is seen in merchandise in an outfit with small red, green, pink and white stripes, whereas on the program, her outfit contains only large red and white stripes. edit »
  • In this episode, Strawberry Shortcake states that she is throwing a party for Apple Dumplin's first birthday. Apple Dumplin' seems to be rather advanced for a girl of only one-year-old. While many her age would still be in a crib, Apple Dumplin' walks and talks on her own. She seems rather aware of the world around her, as well as much of what is said to her, can mimic the speech of others and speak many words and phrases on her own. edit »
  • This is a 45 minute episode. The broadcast version is edited to 22 minutes. edit »
  • Featured songs: "The Cookie Song", "Friendship Grows", "A Berry Happy Birthday", and "Strawberry Girl In A Strawberry World". edit »
  • The shot that pans across the singers' voices during the second line of "Berry Happy Birthday" was used in one of the earliest contemporary Strawberry Shortcake toy commercials. edit »
  • First appearances of Ginger Snap and Honey Pie, whereas the other seven characters have all been revamped. edit »
  • In this version, Huckleberry Pie is the first human friend to Strawberry Shortcake and Apple Dumplin' that Custard warmed up to. edit »
  • This first new episode in over twenty years is a reinterpretation of Strawberry Shortcake rather than a continuation of the old specials. It provides an introduction to Strawberry Land very much like "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" did back in 1980. edit »
  • In the original version of Strawberry Shortcake, Pupcake belongs to Huckleberry Pie and Apple Dumplin' lives with Raspberry Tart. edit »

ALLUSIONS

  • Strawberry Shortcake: "I don’t think we’re in Cakewalk anymore."
    A play on Dorothy Gail’s line “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore” from The Wizard Of Oz. edit »
