Strawberry Shortcake (2003 TV Series) - Episodes

Episodes

This is a list of all the episodes released to date, including placeholders for episodes known to exist but whose title is as of the moment unknown (i.e. the title is not shown on the start of the program). Also, it should be noted that some episodes are released under different names in different regions. This will be listed down as alternative titles if available. The episodes are classified as E/I - educational content - in the US.

Throughout the series, the theme song has been changed a total of 3 times, the voice of Custard the cat was changed from Sarah Koslosky to Anna Jordan and the voice of Huckleberry Pie was changed to Daniel Canfield from James Street after the initial 8 episodes due to the latter's death in a skateboard accident.

Beginning of Year 4 episode Big Country Fun, the artwork style of the characters has been changed. Due to the design of the style, the artwork leaves an impression that the characters has aged into teenagers. This illusion of the aging of the characters was further backed by the fact that Strawberry Shortcake was seen applying for a job and later driving a car in Big Country Fun. Also, Honey Pie and the other fillies have now been relegated into background characters (indeed, the Honey Pie character has not spoken since the Meet Apricot/Let's Dance episode). She was implied to have moved to Ice Cream Island permanently in the book The Friendship Trip which featured the Year 4 characters, logically explaining why she appears less in the series for the season.

Famous quotes containing the word episodes:

    Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
