36	* AmateurCast: A majority of the voice actors in the 2003 series were based out of Omaha, Nebraska and had no previous acting experience or at best, had involvement in local theater and/or were local and/or regional radio and/or television personalities. Even today, they're all [[OneBookAuthor One-Book Authors]] who never acted (on-screen at least) again after the series ended its run and subsequently rebooted with a new set of cast members.
37	* BadExportForYou: The Malaysian release of the Strawberry Jams CD lacks the tracks ''Friendship Grows Like a Flower'' and the closing theme for no discernible reason.
38	* ChannelHop: In Asia, the 2003 series actually moved to Boomerang after Creator/{{Hasbro}} took back the master rights of the franchise from Creator/PlaymatesToys, due to Hasbro's meddling (Prior to this, the show aired on Playhouse Disney Asia, and before Playhouse Disney Asia was launched, Disney Asia as part of the Playhouse Disney slot). This actually resulted in tons of inconvenience and made the show unavailable to Malaysia and other countries that do not have access to Boomerang, since Season 4 was never released on home video in Malaysia (and it's probably safe to assume the same, if not the entire series, in other countries).
39	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: Most of the voice actors in the 2003 series were children or teenagers while voicing their characters.
40	* CrossdressingVoices:
41	** Huckleberry Pie was voiced by two women, Julie [=McWhirter=] Dees and Jeannie Elias, in the original 1980s series.
42	** In the French dub of the 2003 series, Huckleberry was voiced by Hélène Chanson.
43	* DiedDuringProduction: Huckleberry Pie's second voice actor in the 2003 series, James Street, died after a skateboarding accident. As a result, [[TheOriginalDarrin Daniel Canfield, his original voice actor,]] came back to reprise the role.
44	* DummiedOut: The American version of ''The Sweet Dreams Game'' for the [=PS2=] has the entire ''How A Garden Grows'' song from the movie in the game data, but it was never used in-game for reasons unknown.
45	* EditedForSyndication: Aside from the 45-minute unedited versions licensed to local home video producers, the first four episodes are available from the syndication office in either 22-minute edits or split into 2-part episodes. Additionally, the DVD releases of subsequent episodes include an additional prologue, bridge, epilogue and an additional music video that adds scenes to join two episodes together.
46	* ExecutiveMeddling: A former Shin'en level designer who went by the screen name "Collect-Thor" on Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GE7zul6cT4 recalled]] how he and his team had to deal with American Greetings imposing strict rules on what the characters can or cannot do. They wanted Strawberry to GoombaStomp on enemies but this was vetoed by the licensor as it was deemed as too violent of an act for Strawberry and her friends to pull off, making the game harder than what was intended for the target audience.
47	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
48	** Only the first two specials from the 1980s have been released on DVD, with no plans to release the rest.
49	** Subverted with season 4 of the 2003/2007 series. Releases of the 2003/2007 series initially became erratic shortly after the rights transferred from Playmates and [=DiC=] to Hasbro and Moonscoop, which had many fans worrying. However, episodes continued to be released on schedule, and in March 2012, almost 5 years later, the last unreleased pair of episodes went out on DVD.
50	* {{Licensed Game}}s:
51	** 1980s: ''Strawberry Shortcake's Musical Match-Ups'' for the ''Platform/{{Atari 2600}}''
52	** 2003/2007: Four titles (including one GBA Video cartridge and one Europe-exclusive title) for the Platform/GameBoyAdvance, two titles for the Platform/NintendoDS, and a title for the Platform/PlayStation2, which was ported over to the PC and then not released outside Europe. And then there's the Plug-and-play dance mat. Also, three PC titles (including said Europe-only port of the [=PS2=] Sweet Dreams Game).
53	** {{Edutainment Game}}s: ''Amazing Cookie Party'' and ''Berry Best Friends'' (two of the aforementioned PC titles) are this.
54	** 2009: Games from two different companies, Budge Studios, and Cupcake Digital.
55	* NoExportForYou:
56	** The 2003 series: ''Ice Cream Island Riding Camp'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance and the PC port of ''The Sweet Dreams Game'' for the [=PS2=] got a Europe-only release. Also, [=PS2=] version of the ''Sweet Dreams Game'' never got an Asian release despite the show's popularity in the region.
57	** The 2009 series: IOS apps released by a company called ''Cupcake Digital'' are unavailable in Asia.
58	** Any post-season-1 episodes in the 2009 series in Malaysia, since the show, like ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'', ended up on Boomerang, which is not available in several countries worldwide.
59	** The 2003 episodes are seeing re-releases on ''Franchise/LeapFrog'''s app center for the [=LeapPad=] Explorer and Leapster Explorer series of children's educational consoles, but the title is only available to the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
60	** There actually exists [[https://kidscreen.com/2005/06/01/strawberry-20050601/ two live-action versions]] of the 2003 series, one produced in Canada and another produced in Latin America by EXIM. Along with airing in Spanish and Portuguese, EXIM's version was dubbed and shown in South Asian and Middle Eastern countries. It also was later turned into a stage show with a different cast. Ironically, neither version ever aired in the US, despite sharing the same continent with both regions and being where Strawberry originates from.
61	** Most countries outside of North America and Western Europe are less familiar with the original 1980s version of the franchise. This is because unlike later versions, the 80s specials and merchandise received less exports outside of the US.
62	** Similar to corporate sibling ''[[Franchise/CareBears Care Bears]]'', Strawberry Shortcake stuff generally never reaches Japan, despite being a country known for embracing cuteness and the franchise's popularity in the rest of Asia. Only the 2009 cartoon was dubbed, and it was a Netflix exclusive [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes that was later removed from the service, making it lost.]] There were [[http://www.everythingblueberrymuffin.com/japandolls.html some exclusive 80s dolls]] and a collab with Franchise/{{Hello Kitty}} in 2017.
63	* NonSingingVoice:
64	** ''Berry Bitty Adventures''
65	*** Strawberry's speaking voice is provided by Creator/AnnaCummer, while her songs are done by Creator/TraceyMoore
66	*** Cherry Jam's speaking voice is Creator/ShannonChanKent, but her singing voice is Victoria Duffield, despite Shannon already being a singer herself.
67	* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: ''Berry Bitty Adventures'' primarily uses actors from Creator/TheOceanGroup.
68	* OneBookAuthor: Sarah Heinke's only major acting role was voicing Strawberry Shortcake in the 2003 series. She then left show business behind and became a hairdresser.
69	* TheOtherDarrin:
70	** 1980s:
71	*** Huckleberry Pie was voiced by Julie [=McWhirter=] Dees originally, but was voiced by Creator/JeannieElias in ''Housewarming Surprise''.
72	*** Orange Blossom's been voiced by a different actress in every appearance. Diane [=McCannon=] in ''Big Apple City'', Creator/CreeSummer AND Creator/SusanRoman in ''Baby Without a Name'', and Laurie Waller-Benson in ''Meets the Berrykins''.
73	*** Blueberry Muffin's been voiced by Joan Gerber in ''World of Strawberry Shortcake'', Creator/SusanRoman in ''Housewarming Surprise'', and Susan Snooks in ''Meets the Berrykins''.
74	*** Raspberry Tart was originally voiced by Pamela Anderson, but replaced by Susan Snooks in ''Meets the Berrykins''.
75	** 2003:
76	*** Huckleberry Pie, Honey Pie Pony and Custard's voice actors were replaced after the first season.
77	*** Raspberry Torte was voiced by Greer [=McKain=] in ''The Sweet Dreams Movie'' and Haley Hyden-Soffer for all subsequent appearances.
78	** ''Berry Bitty Adventures'': In the 2018 webseries, every character had a different actor from the TV series.
79	*** Strawberry Shortcake was voiced by Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld rather than Creator/AnnaCummer.
80	*** Orange Blossom was voiced by Amanda J. Barker instead of Creator/JanyseJaud.
81	*** Sour Grapes was voiced by Laurie Hymes rather than Diana Kaarina.
82	*** Sweet Grapes was voiced by Kaylin Lee Clinton instead of Creator/AndreaLibman.
83	* TheOriginalDarrin: After Huckleberry's second voice actor, James Street, died in a fatal skateboarding accident, Daniel Canfield returned to voice the character for the rest of the series.
84	* PopCultureUrbanLegends: The 2003 incarnation had a lot of these in its waning years thanks to a particularly prolific troll who claims to be the niece of someone working in Creator/DiCEntertainment. Lies spread by the troll largely include season 4 rumors and false synopsis regarding said season, and she even used manipulated audio as proof (most notably, "Nothing Lasts Forever" from the ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter'' episode "Hope Castle" that is said to be from the ending of that incarnation of the show). Even when finally exposed, some people chose to believe the troll and reject the truth.
85	* PosthumousCredit: After James Street died in 2007, all future episodes for the Classic series would still list his name in the credits.
86	* ReclusiveArtist: Most of the voice actors in the 2003 series have little to no information about themselves or social media presence online.
87	* ReferencedBy:
88	** ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' has a CorruptedCharacterCopy of Strawberry Shortcake called "Strawberry Sweetcake".
89	** ''Fanfic/EverydayCrazinessInPontypandy'': In "[[Recap/EverydayCrazinessInPontypandySarahsMermaidAdventure Sarah's Mermaid Adventure]]", when Mandy transforms into Mermaid Flora, her TransformationNameAnnouncement is "Growing better all the time!".
90	** ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' MadeForTVMovie ''WesternAnimation/ChannelChasers'' features a CastOfExpies version called "Paula Poundcake".
91	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' had a parody of ''Strawberry Shortcake'' called "Purpleberry Pond", with an InUniverse cereal commercial parodying the official Strawberry Shortcake cereal from the 80s.
92	** ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'':
93	*** In Season 2 Episode 1, the "Thomas the Unstoppable Tank Engine" skit, [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas]] accidentally crushes Strawberry Shortcake's village.
94	*** The Season 2 Episode 10 skit "Tater Tots & Tiaras" features Strawberry Shortcake as a contestant.
95	** Minor character Tapioca Pudding from ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' was created as a TakeThat to ''Strawberry Shortcake'' for being a MerchandiseDriven franchise, talking excessively about licensing and how her father planned on marketing her likeness for various products.
96	** ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' has made several parody skits involving the ''Strawberry Shortcake'' franchise. One of the most prominent characters, Bitch Pudding, is directly inspired by and originated from the ''Strawberry Shortcake'' parodies. The "Bitch Pudding Special" features a CastOfExpies version of Strawberry Shortcake called "Pastryville".
97	* {{Retronym}}: On the official Strawberry Shortcake [=YouTube=] channel, uploads of the 2003 series have been titled “Strawberry Shortcake Classic”, likely to distinguish itself from the other series. The original 1980s series is referred to as "Vintage" by official sources, including the Strawberry Shortcake website.
98	* RoleReprise: Andrea Libman returns to voice Lemon Meringue in ''Berry in the Big City'', having previously voiced her in ''Berry Bitty Adventures''.
99	* ScrewedByTheNetwork
100	** CBS/Kewlopolis dropped the show after Season 3 and did not air season 4 following the master license switches and courtroom battles between Moonscoop, Cookie Jar and [=DiC=].
101	** Cartoon Network acquired the rights to air programming featuring Hasbro's characters in most regions outside North America, but put it on Boomerang. Not only is Boomerang not as widely available worldwide as its older sibling (to the point that there are countries in the world that have cable providers that do carry Cartoon Network but not Boomerang), in countries that do have both, Boomerang is typically a premium size-up package pay channel while the main Cartoon Network channel itself is a basic package pay channel. This severely limits the availability of the show. And when they finally “gave in” to fans complaining and put the show on the main Cartoon Network channel, they only aired the first season, on weekdays at an ungodly hour of 6AM, before pulling it and claiming “low viewership”.
102	* SequelGap: It took two decades before ''Strawberry Shortcake: Musical Match-Ups'' for the Platform/Atari2600 to be followed by ''Strawberry Shortcake: Amazing Cookie Party'', an edutainment game for the PC.
103	* ShortRunInPeru:
104	** ''Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures'' premiered in most regions (mostly Europe) months in advance when compared to North America.
105	*** The series premiered in the UK in May 2010 on Cartoonito, finishing its run before the US premiere as well.
106	*** The German premiere on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in Germany took place in July 2010, three months before its American premiere on The Hub, and finished its [[UnfinishedDub one-season]] run before the American premiere too.
107	** Somewhat subverted in North America, as the three episodes that make up the "Berryfest Princess" arc premiered in March 2010 on DVD, combined as a feature-length movie.
108	** Season 4 aired in Europe two months before it aired in Asia.
109	* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: Pupcake's "eyepatch" location, the characters' hair colors, and other noticeable details are inconsistent between the merchandise, books, and TV series.
110	* UncreditedRole[=/=]UnspecifiedRoleCredit:
111	** It's unknown who voiced several characters in the original Strawberry Shortcake specials, as the specials either didn't specify who voiced who, or don't have their voice actors credited at all. Angel Cake, the male Plum Pudding, Almond Tea, Cafe Ole, and Mint Tulip's voice actors are still unknown.
112	** The Classic series would properly credit the main cast, but everyone else was either uncredited or their names were listed with no indication of who voiced who.
