Strawberry Shortcake (MWS Productions, Nelvana and more, 1980-1985)

She walked so He-Man, My Little Pony, the Transformers and more could run. Strawberry Shortcake, from the pens of Barbi Sargent and Muriel Fahrion for American Greetings, was picked up by Kenner and aimed to be a multimedia smash via televised specials to help promote the character's world and toys on secondary, independent TV channels. Through this six-year journey, surprising connections to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Ed McMahon and Frank Zappa all wind up caught in the precocious six-year old's garden. Artist Mary Bellamy joins us for a berry good time!
