Rating Summary
In the vibrant buzz of Big Apple City, where autumn leaves crunch underfoot and the air hums with the scent of fresh-baked pies, young baker Strawberry Shortcake rallies her quirky crew of Berry Besties for a spine-tingling escapade. A hulking, shadowy beast from the misty depths of Berry Bog starts crashing the town’s cherished Fright-Fall Carnival, toppling hay bales and scattering candy apples like confetti from a popped balloon. With hearts pounding and flashlights flickering, Strawberry—ever the optimistic crumb-duster—leads the charge through creaky corn mazes and fog-shrouded swamps, piecing together clues that blend bravery with a dash of homemade courage.
Strawberry Shortcake and the Beast of Berry Bog REVIEW
TV-Y
- If it weren't for the cross-dressing homosexual-coded male character, it would be safe for kids, if not soulless tripe.
Strawberry Tarts
- The male characters are either cowards, grumpy, villains, or cross-dressing effeminates.
- The effeminate male child spends much of the show dressed up as a woman in a dress and wearing earrings.
- Furthermore, the language used during the dress-up scene is thinly veiled LGBTQ+ indoctrination.
- "Use this costume shop to find the 'you' you want to express."
- The cowardly boy tells the cross-dresser that he looks "amazing."
- Furthermore, the language used during the dress-up scene is thinly veiled LGBTQ+ indoctrination.
- The cowardly boy's story arc is to learn to be brave, which he demonstrates by ineffectively playing a guitar at a monster. He immediately needs to be rescued by a female character who was also experiencing some fear (though not a neurotic and debilitating fear). Though she has become a Ripley from Alien's analog (even wearing a mech suit), who saves not only him but the day.
- The effeminate male child spends much of the show dressed up as a woman in a dress and wearing earrings.

I see there’s been a lot of kids show reviews lately, parents are very lucky to have this site. It’s shocking how much indoctrination there still is in the big 2025, especially geared towards children. I was fortunate enough to grow up on Curious George, Thomas the Tank Engine, Pingu and Dora the Explorer among other shows. There’s sadly very little quality TV for kids nowadays.
And here I am thinking the reason girly toy shows used to include token boys was to show the girls that boys could be cool and didn’t have cooties. Boy, what happened to boys?
