'''Strawberry Shortcake''' started life as a greeting card character in the early [[The Eighties|1980s]], but soon spawned a line of popular dolls and other merchandise, accompanied by six TV specials released annualy from 1980 to 1985. In these specials she and her friends lived in Strawberryland, raising berries and taking care of the occasional villainy concocted by The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak.
In 2003, she came back again, this time with a series of [[Direct to Video]] specials, all of which were subsequently split up into a TV series. [[The Movie|It also spawned two movies]], regular soundtrack releases, and games. In this incarnation, she still lived in Strawberryland, but her friends lived in their own lands, and for a while there were no villains, just life lessons to be learned.
Line 8:
The franchise got another reboot in 2009, with Strawberry living in Berry Bitty City, and no villains in sight (at least not at this time...). This franchise has so far spawned a 2010 TV series (which is not available in some parts of Asia due to the cable providers not wanting to carry Boomerang), three movies, and a iPhone game that is [[No Export for You|only available in the US.]]
