Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Blossom Festival is a 2007 American animated compilation film. It was released on May 1, 2007 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, although it was given an early release by Kidtoon Films on March 13 in select cinemas. Every copy of the DVD comes with a Berry Blossom Festival Crown, as seen in the film.[2]
Synopsis
Like with the other DVDs of Strawberry Shortcake, Berry Blossom Festival uses a "Compilation" format where Strawberry recalls the featured episodes in her "Remembering Book". The episodes featured on this DVD are "Mind Your Manners" and "Queen For a Day".
Mind Your Manners
Raspberry Torte doesn't care about manners at all, so her friends do what they can to show her that manners matter.
Queen for a Day
The Purple Pie Man fakes the answers in a quiz that pits Sour Grapes against Strawberry for the award of Berry Blossom Queen.
Release
Berry Blossom Festival was released as part of Kidtoon Films' monthly program, during weekend matinees in select venues. The feature was only shown digitally, and not printed on traditional 35mm stock; had no major press reviews during its stay in theaters; and was designated as a direct-to-DVD feature in the first place. Hence, as with all of Kidtoon's past films, it is not considered a legitimate theatrical release, according to animation expert Jerry Beck on his Cartoon Research site.[3]
