Memories of Strawberry Shortcake
Not long ago, the kids were watching a recent version of a Strawberry Shortcake cartoon. It reminded me of an episode we had on video when I was a kid. I must have watched it a hundred times because I still know the words to all of the songs. And for some reason thinking back on that cute little girl and all of her confectionery friends makes me happy. I did a search to find it, and found that it was called “Strawberry Shortcake’s Housewarming Surprise.”
It aired in 1983, and features Strawberry’s move to a new house and a run in with the Peculiar Purple Pie Man. I found the full version of it that someone transferred from a video tape she had. She also has other fun episodes on BitTheDustTape.com of things like Care Bears and The Getalong Gang. I just had to share this bit of my history with anyone else that might have fond memories of these “vintage” cartoons.
Estee LOVES Strawberry Shortcake. She goes by Strawberry Shortcake and refuses to comply unless calle SSC. We have a new ssc video and we watch it constantly. I was Strawberry Shortcake for halloween one year. I am glad that Estee loves it as I did. I had the Lemon Meringe doll that blew lemon kisses. I have looked on ebay foe the old dolls I know she would love them. Thanks for the link
I had a SSC doll that Heather gave me when I was little. I think she was Key Lime and she was scented. Every once in a while I will smell something that brings me right back to that doll.
I remember bying you that doll at the BX, and hoping against hope you would like it. My kids really love Tom & Jerry cartoons and I love to watch it with them, it’s fun to see them enjoying it like I used to. I wonder if I could find “Mon Chi Chi” on that one site, I will have to look. I used to love that cartoon. I’ll bet Haven would love it!
I loved SSC as a little girl, and I am tryign to steer Kezia in that direction. I was completely deprived as a child, my mom didn’t buy me a doll, so I stole my friends. I should feel guilty, but she smelled soooo gooood!!!!
I loved the Get Along Gang
