Synopsis edit
Like with the other DVDs of Strawberry Shortcake, Berry Blossom Festival uses a "Compilation" format where Strawberry recalls the featured episodes in her "Remembering Book". The episodes featured on this DVD are "Mind Your Manners" and "Queen For a Day".
Mind Your Manners edit
In the episode, Strawberry Shortcake's friend, Raspberry Torte, shows that she doesn't care about manners at all, so her friends decide to teach her a lesson by inviting her to two parties; one of which the guests treat each other kindly, and the other where they don't display any manners at all. This shows Raspberry that manners really are important after all.
Queen for a Day edit
Through trickery and cheating, the Purple Pieman snatches the Berry Blossom crown from Strawberry.
Release edit
Berry Blossom Festival was released as part of Kidtoon Films' monthly program, during weekend matinees in select venues. The feature was only shown digitally, and not printed on traditional 35mm stock; had no major press reviews during its stay in theaters; and was designated as a direct-to-DVD feature in the first place. Hence, as with all of Kidtoon's past movies, it is not considered a legitimate theatrical release, according to animation expert Jerry Beck on his Cartoon Research site.[3]
