Watched a video essay the other day on the history of Strawberry Shortcake. The creator, who said he was almost 30, admitted a bias towards Gen 3 (the one from the early 2000s where all the characters wear really casual clothes) as it was the one from his childhood, and practically all the comments said the same. As someone who grew up with Gen 1 and remembers all the complaints about 3's changes when it was new, it was very surreal to see people -- adults -- who love it for it being "their" version.

Is Gen 3 the one where they all wear pants? 'Cause I loved the hell out of that one, but I must admit that all the Strawberry Shortcake merch I have is from Gen 1. It's just cuter.

Yes, that's the one. Some of the video and comments touched on how the fact that it wasn't fashion-focused was a nice contrast to other dolls, and I probably would have appreciated that and at least checked out the cartoon if I hadn't been so of the "they ruined my childhood by changing it" mindset. Even now I have that kneejerk reaction to looking at it even though having rewatched the 80's cartoon specials I loved as a child, I can see they're nothing... well, special.

DA

Weirdly enough Strawberry Shortcake is the only cartoon from my childhood i get like that about. She-Ra, He-Man, Carebears, none of it bothered me like Strawberry did and still does. Idk why. I have such a sensory memory of those toys too, they had such distinct smells that i loved as a kid.
