In this series, Strawberry Shortcake, a curious, self-confident leader, narrates stories of her and her friends' adventures in the richly-imagined world of Strawberry Land. Using her many positive qualities, Strawberry helps her friends, who share her values but not necessarily her ability to take a broader view, to see beyond their own self-interest. The themes of the stories are designed to have particular relevance for young viewers, focusing on such issues as friendship, fear, self-confidence, sportsmanship, trust and shyness. The pro-social messages flow naturally from the narrative, as the characters experience concrete (positive and negative) consequences of their actions. This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.
