Parents need to know
Families can talk about the idea of making music out of anything around you -- a great activity for the next rainy day. Have you ever felt frustrated learning new skills, like Peppermint Fizz? How did you feel when you succeeded? Do you think you would have been as proud if the skills had come to you more easily?
Message
Social Behavior:
Positive showcase of supportive friendships -- even the one trick played was done with the intention of helping, not hurting, the victim.
Consumerism:
Although not a commercial, the movie acts to support branding efforts for Strawberry Shortcake merchandise (which includes a new Princess line). Packaging includes an "Activity Book" that includes four pages of games and seven pages of advertisements.

Is it any good?
However, even with the updated surroundings and situation, Strawberry Shortcake remains at heart a generous, kind role model who tries to encourage her friends and make the best of bad situations. Pervasive imagery of ponies, butterflies, kittens, and puppies -- not to mention adorable Strawberry Shortcake and her friends -- will lend appeal for little girls aged 3-6, but the thin plot and lack of strong boy characters prevent it from speaking to a wider audience.
