Sony Pictures Home Entertainment rolls out Holly Hobbie and Friends: Fabulous Fashion Show, its fifth release based on the recently re-imagined 1967 brand, on August 12. The two-part DVD will feature two brand new sing-alongs and a bonus interactive game and will retail for $12.99.

Fabulous Fashion Show features Holly and her “Hey Girls!” Club in a series of adventures which combine the property’s sweet old-fashioned values with some high-fashion fun perfect for today’s young ladies-in-training. Comprised of two episodes: Inside Out, which teaches friendship and understanding while the girls plan a fashion show to help their library, and Hats Off, in which the girls venture into the big city and deal with the issues of homesickness and accessorizing.

SPHE will also release the Holly Hobbie & Friends Hey Girls! DVD Fun Pack of three Holly discs the same day. Holly Hobbie is a trademark of American Greetings Properties, the intellectual property and outbound licensing division of American Greetings Corp. Holly Hobbie is actually the name of the American writer and illustrator, who created the character in the 1970s. She is also the author of the popular Toot and Puddle children’s books which will star in their own animated preschool series (produced by National Geographic Kids and Mercury Filmworks) on Noggin this fall.

  The new Holly Hobbie Fashion Show movie is terrible. I am so disappointed. The quality has gone way, way down and the voices no longer match the characters. If you like the 1st four Holly Hobbie movies don\'t buy this one. You will be disappointed. I am not sure why they changed it, but they should change it back for the next movie.

  This dvd is really disappointing. My daughter told me the voices were different and it is more \"cartoony\". She is right. It seems like they only kept the original mom\'s voice and changed everyone else\'s voices, plus they must have lost LeAnn Rimes, which is truly sad since her singing voice is super compared to whoever is singing on this one. My five year old\'s face lit up at Christmas at seeing this one but it doesn\'t hold anyone\'s attention in this house.
