“Play Day Surprise” is yet another delightful addition to the “Strawberry Shortcake” series produced by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. In “Play Day Surprise,” Strawberry Shortcake and her friends learn what it means to be a good sport. In the first half, Angel Cake gets frustrated when she doesn’t catch on to the game of soccer. She doesn’t handle it very well and walks away from the game altogether. Through the patience and kindness of her friends, Angel Cake is able to work through her bad attitude and cheerfully return to her spot on the team.
Much like the other “Strawberry Shortcake” videos, this one has several catchy songs throughout. The second half of the movie is about Peppermint Fizz and how her friends struggle with what to do when they discover she is cheating. Once again the series delivers a couple of great storylines and introduces young ones to important principles for life.
