Banana Twirl seems to me like an expy of Lime Chiffon in terms of personality; not that it's bad, but....hmm...
3:46 It really took them six whole specials to finally shake off the 1970s and get that distinct 1980s flavor down pat? Golly. The times almost passed 'em by. Huh.
"But pizza with chocolate frosting?! Bleh!" Yep. Dessert pizzas were more or less unheard of at this point.

haha it makes me lauff when people complain about the new shows. The shows have to keep up with the times. It doesnt matter what you grew up with. The show would die out if they didnt up date her every now and then because kids would stop watching. you have to think about it that way. the old one is still here she just updated...
that episode is BERRY sweet! BTW, I was wondering why Mint Tulip and Angel Cake wern't seen in this. This show should've had them along with Mint Berrykin and maybe a berrykin known as Cupcake Berrykin.
I love Russi Taylor as strawberry shortcake! She has the sweetest voice ever. It's interesting that she does have that little voice when talking normally. I wish that there were more voices more like hers nowdays.
now strawberry shortcake dolls have long hair, short skirts and glitter. i have one and a blow-kiss doll... i remember watching this on youtube a long time ago.. good memories!
Man I've tried to find this movie on VHS or DVD for YEARS. I love the little musical interlude with " When I Grow Up." Can't find that song anywhere either.
omg this has always been my fave episode. I remember I had it recorded on vhs and would watch it every night before I went to sleep and several times during the day.
OMG!!! Ever since I found out about youtube I've looked for this video! I remember this episode from my childhood. I had it on video and I could wait to grow up and get my "long hair" too. Im so excited!!!
Thank you very much for posting this episode. I have been searching for it for more tha 2 years and the only way how to watch it was to buy old VHS tape on Amazon. This absolutely brought me back to my childhood. Thanks again!
lol, good point! omg, i havent seen this in 14 years at least, i was 6 at the time and i STILL REMEMBER IT!!! the minute i saw hergrow long hair it started an obsession with long hair. now i have 28 inch extensions.... thank you, strawberry. and i love the berry princess and those cute berrykins! peach ones the cutest :) THANKS FOR UPLOADING!!!! you brought back a special part of my childhood. they just don't make cartoons this good anymore. The new ones are lame comparably.
This is my favorite episode of the 80's cartoon. Thanks for posting it and all the Strawberry Shortcake episodes. I wish there were more than six of these. They are so good!
This episode brings back lots of memories. When I was a little kid they only had a few episodes from the different series available at the video rental store. A few rainbow brite, strawberry shortcake, lady lovely locks, and the care bears. They don't make them like they use to.
Oh man, this movie has scarred my poor father for life. I used to watch this oodles of times when I was about 4 and he has her little dance sequence ingraved into his brain, and after these 19 years or so, whenever I mention Stawberry Shortcake, he does the little dance!
lol. I know, through out the years, I still go back to watch Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite, every now and then. My parents shudder the moment they hear "Strawberry Shortcake", but it was because of "Baby Without A Name". My dad claims he still knows all the words to "We're Going Camping". Then again, I probably still do, too, lol.
Gah ... how can you say that? This episode was so ... generic, familiar, unimpressive. What about the first episode? It's classic - a bit alien, strange, mysterious, pristine. Can you really say the same about this episode?
I agree, but I was probably 8 when this came out, and I had watched all the other eps. from the very beginning. My favorite was the one where Strawberry gets the never-ending watering can for her birthday. That and the Big Apple City ep. are my two favorites.
My friend's big sister had all the dolls, but I wasn't allowed to play with them =(
I loved all the 80s cartoons even though I was born in the late 80s, and I still do, they're so much better than the manufactured crap that the kids have to watch today.
I was born in the late 80s, too, and I still love those cartoons far more than anything they have now. My Little Pony, Care Bears, Lady Lovely Locks...lol
You know, I just realized that the voice actress for Strawberry Shortcake is the same person who did Webby in Ducktales. :b
Wow, I SO remember renting this at the video store! Love the I Wanna Look Like Who I Wanna Be When I grow Up song. I've been looking for this song FOREVER! This brings back SOOOOO many memories. Thanks SOOOOOO much for posting.
I used to LOVE that song so much as a kid, but it's not as exciting now. Still, it was a big influence at the time. I had short hair like Strawberry's but was obsessed with having long hair, especially after seeing all the girls with it at the end.
I had forgotten that Plum Pudding became a girl at some point in the 80's. And I didn't remember Banana Twirl either. I think I was outgrowing it all when this show released. Thank you for posting it!!
AHHH. I can't believe I finally found this. I've been searching for a copy of Meet the Berrykins on VHS and no store or website seemed to have it. But, who would've thought YouTube would have it.
Wow I haven't see this in ages! lol Nice to see them as they should be, I can't stand the new look they gave them. Heaven forbid little girls be seen in dresses and tights, the jeans don't really let you know who they are.
This was my favorite video. I love that all the characters were in different dresses and weren't wearing big hats. Made me sad that they left out the international kids and Angel Cake. The daydream sequence is totally classic eighties!
IHoly cow I remember this episode!
