Maturity | Like the theatrical release of "Sweet Dreams" before it, this was shown at select cineplexes across the US (in April '07) prior to its DVD release. It was released in VideoCD format in Singapore and Malaysia in late April, but not in cinemas. The Purple Pieman and Sour Grapes appear only in the episode "Queen For A Day",while Raspberry Torte is featured in a Peppermint Fizz like role in "Mind Your Manners." |
| 16 | Let's Dance | October 2, 2007 | Dancing in Disguise
Everybody Dance |
Friendship | Like "Berry Blossom Festival" before it, this was screened at select cineplexes across the US one month (September 2007) prior to the DVD release. It was then released on October 2, 2007. "Everybody Dance", also known as "Dancin' in Disguise" or "Dance, and Know the Steps", features Sour Grapes reforming from her role as villain. Presumably out of having a loyal nature, she remains her brother's partner in crime for episodes to come. However, it can be argued that she clearly had a greater conscience and desire to do right throughout the remainder of this series, despite her so-called reversion. "Let's Dance" is also called "Everybody's Dancin'". |

Famous quotes containing the words video and/or releases:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
