Where did you see it? On a drink or ice cream? Or have you misheard 'Albury' (place name).

I'm working on a Duck Dodgers' cartoon (Duffy Duck), and one of the carachters tells, talking about Space Cadet (Porky Pig), who wrote a book, that the book he was an All Berry Award winner
Its going to be an Americanism if it comes from a WB cartoon. Sorry, I can't really help.

Right. Thank you, anyway!
"berry" like "buck" is also a slang American form of "dollar"...I consider this meaning might be somehow related to an award...

In the U.S., there's an award for children's books called the Newberry Award, so "All Berry" is a play on words, based on Newberry.
But I'm not sure exactly what the joke is supposed to be. If the cartoon was recently produced, then it's probably referring to a children's cereal called "Cap'n Crunch All Berries."
Sorry DDT, but I don't think it's referring to money.

Thanks a million for clearing that up, I was just guessingEricB said:

It was a good guess, DDT. Honestly, I don't know how the rest of the world gets through all the American pop culture references in movies and TV shows.
