Strawberry Shortcake and her friends learn the value of working together to put on a Halloween Play.

Strawberry Shortcake and her friends learn the value of working together to put on a Halloween Play.

They really don't get much worse than this. I'm not sure which to be more offended by . . . the stupefying concept of what is involved in "putting on a play," the insipid suggestion that all disagreements can be solved by doing what both sides want, or the oblivious self-centeredness that passes for friendship among these strange, big-headed characters. I can't wait for my youngest daughter to outgrow the Strawberry Shortcake phase.
