Strawberry Shortcake is back with 40 mini adventures in the all new YouTube series Berry In The Big City, where she travels to Big Apple City!
Strawberry Shortcake is returning in an original new animated series, Berry in the Big City, on WildBrain Spark’s official Strawberry Shortcake YouTube and YouTube Kids channels. The first two episodes premiere on Saturday, September 18 and I have had the pleasure of watching them.
Having grown up on Strawberry Shortcake cartoons it is a great feeling to see her back in all new adventures. I have two young daughters and we cannot wait to tune into the YouTube Channel to watch her shorts together. Being a busy sports and extra curricular activities family, one of the best things about this show is that they are all under 5 minutes! It is a quick and easy watch to fill a little bit of time between drum lessons and basketball practice.
These Berry in the Big City stories are a lot of fun because they allow my girls to see it is OK to go after your hopes and dreams. It might seem scary at first, and not everything will happen according to plan, but there is always a lesson to learn along the way.
About Strawberry Shortcake: Berry In The Big City
Berry in the Big City finds Strawberry Shortcake traveling to Big Apple City, where all the biggest names in baking go to get their big break. Along with her cute cat, Custard, she teams up with her new “berry besties” – Orange Blossom, Lime Chiffon, Lemon Meringue and Blueberry Muffin – alongside their lovable pets. Together, the entrepreneurial girls run their fabulous food trucks and enjoy daily adventures filled with laughter and singing as they strive to “bake the world a better place”!
Berry in the Big City delivers 40 all-new four-minute adventures in 2D animation for kids ages 3 to 6. A second 40-episode season of Berry in the Big City is already in the works, and WildBrain Studios is currently developing a slate of new, CG-animated 44-minute Strawberry Shortcake family specials.
Berry in the Big City also features 10 original songs that will be released next year as animated lyric videos for kids to sing along and enjoy on WildBrain Spark’s official Strawberry Shortcake channel.
