Mr. Sun was one of the major characters in the Strawberry Shortcake TV specials. He plays the role of the narrator, but he also acts as moral support for anyone who needs it. Originally, Mr. Sun was portrayed by Romeo Muller. Then, in the last three specials, he was played by Chris Wiggins instead. In the 2003 Series, he reappeared, but was more of a regular sun who never interacts with Strawberry. He made a proper return in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, as a part of Strawberry’s Nightmare in one episode.
Personality[]
Mr. Sun is a very wise and caring sun! He's a friendly character who keeps a watchful eye over everything that goes on in Strawberryland to make sure things are peaceful and relaxing. More than once has he even helped saved the land when the Peculiar Purple Pieman tried to destroy it.
In his sole appearance in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Mr. Sun (or Mysterious Narrator/Sun as he’s credited in the episode) lacks any of his empathy and kindness towards Strawberry, merely serving as a neutral force who tells her about what’s happening in her nightmare.
Appearance[]
Mr. Sun is, well, the sun. He is depicted as a yellow circular star with a face and a radiating shine. In each special, Mr. Sun can change his appearance slightly:
- Yellow with a gold-orange outer shine.
- Much smaller in appearance but bigger in shape. Now, the color became gold-orange in the center while the outer part is slightly lighter and glowing.
- Gone back to Special 1's design, but with more well-shaped face.
- Very dark center with brighter outer part.
- Orange center with almost white glow outline. Was depicted with sunglasses once.
- Dark orange center with even bigger, whiter glow.
Trivia[]
- Apparently, his movement cycle takes him within just hours of real time to complete. This could be a cartoon effect.
- Mr. Sun has no speaking role in the 2003 series, and appears to just be a normal sun that happens to have a giant face on it.
