11/4/11: Strawberry Shortcake Growing Up Dreams and Bright Lights Dreams DVDs

I grew up with Strawberry Shortcake.  I had a bunch of the toys and distinctly remember one Christmas that involved Blueberry Muffin.  My Mom always used to let me open one toy early and this particular year I remember sniffing all of the gifts to find Blueberry Muffin so I could open her!  Now I am thrilled that my little girl likes Strawberry Shortcake and the gang too and there are several movies about her that we were able to review.  One is "Strawberry Shortcake: Growing Up Dreams"

Here is a Summary of the movie:  Strawberry Shortcake™ and all of her friends take summer fun to new heights in the fabulous new adventure Strawberry Shortcake: Growing Up Dreams, arrived on DVD August 30 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and American Greetings Properties.

Strawberry Shortcake and her friends can’t wait to grow up, and they wonder what they’ll become some day. It’s all berry exciting as imaginations soar and Strawberry and her friends see what it’s like to be busy career girls! But when Peppermint Fizz becomes Mayor and gets berry, berry bossy, trouble strikes in Strawberryland. Growing Up Dreams is all about getting along, working together, and believing in your dreams. Plus, no matter how big you get...you should never outgrow being nice!

I love that this is all about careers they could go in to.  There is a whole section about them being Astronauts.  As you might have read that was my dream too, so that was cool.  Check out my previous post on What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Here is a Coloring Page for the movie also.
Another movie we received was "Strawbery Shortcake:  Bright Lights Big Dreams".

It's time to dazzle and dream with Strawberry and her friends as they compete for some berry special prizes. Whether it's spinning in the annual dance-off or beating a world record, there is nothing these girls can't try. But when the road to success seems overwhelming, they'd soon discover that the real key to being a winner is just having fun with your friends.

Lauren and actually the whole family enjoyed both of these DVDs.
