The World of Strawberry Shortcake (1980)


Made for TV , airing March 1st in the US.
The story: It is a berry sunshiny morning in Strawberryland.
The sun has been kind enough to show us around since everyone is still sleeping.
When Strawberry Shortcake wakes up she has many chores to do, one of them being watering her extraordinary strawberry patch.
While doing so , the Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak needs berries...berries! berries!! and sees Strawberry Shortcake in her garden caring for them.
That's when he sends his berry birds to get the berries but a brave, tall tree scares them off.
Now he has to come up with a new plan.
Meanwhile , the rest of the inhabitants of Strawberryland have gotten together.
It is Strawberry Shortcake's 6th birthday and they want to throw her a surprise party.
When it comes time for lunch and Strawberry Shortcake asks all her friends to eat with her, they all blow her off.
Feeling sad and lonely, Strawberry Shortcake is approached by a "peddler man". 
He tries peddling her a magical watering can but she does not have the cash.
A kind bug who overhears their conversation sends the peddler man to the party to sell the watering can to them for a gift.
But the peddler man is actually the Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak and his new plan is working brilliantly.
