Synopsis

After the Berryworks water supply is blocked by a giant rock brought down by a lightning storm, Strawberry Shortcake and her friends are desperate to find a water source before they will have to evacuate their hometown, Berry Bitty City, for good to live in another region far away, but also a large source of water. But she hears that legend is told to have an ancient artifact found in the mountains to expose eternal water when revealed to sunlight. She and her friends head off on a quest to retrieve on Rotten Tomatoes the object and try to save their town with it. But unknown to them, the main "legend" is actually a false hoax.

Production

When Hasbro had won the TV license from Playmates in 2008, American Greetings, the original owner of the Strawberry Shortcake franchise, announced to fans and viewers that would reboot the series later in 2010, but would first produce a pilot cartoon and a movie to introduce the new setting. The film first began production in August 2008 and ended later in June 2009. It was first screened in the FOX Studios in Los Angeles on July 31, 2009. It was then directly released on DVD and Blu-Ray by 20th Century Fox on September 15, 2009, and was also distributed by Kidtoon Films in April 2011.

In France, it made its premiere as a TV movie on Playhouse Disney on December 5, 2009[1] and was later released on DVD on December 9, 2009.
