When the Japanese company Sanrio created Hello Kitty over thirty-five years ago, they gave her dual nationality—born in Japan but living in England with her family. Now, in the 21st century, Hello Kitty has dedicated fans all over the world, ranging in age from pre-adolescents to nostalgic and fashionable adults. Products bearing her logo are often quickly swept off the shelves in many countries, and over three decades later, Hello Kitty is still revered and continues to have a strong following in many countries across the different regions, not just in her country of birth in Japan.

Although Hello Kitty trademark can now be seen on hundreds, if not thousands of consumer items, she got her start as a beautifully designed cartoon. Hello Kitty has even had her own cartoon series produced in different languages. These shows have served to increase her fan base and add to her mystique. On fan forums and auction sites, people are looking for Hello Kitty cartoons on videos and DVDs.

3. Hello Kitty’s Paradise–Pretty Kitty

Hello Kitty's Paradise–Pretty Kitty
Even though there are plenty of Hello Kitty DVDs and videos, stick with the Hello Kitty Paradise items. These items are originally in Japanese, dubbed in English (no sub-titles). The writing and voice acting is so much better in this series than the American/English version (the one from the 80′s).

Must-Have For All Little (Or Big) Girls!

Kitty and her twin, Mimmy, explore and learn life lessons in this octet of eight-minute episodes sandwiched between animated puzzles and clay shape play. The feline pair plant morning glory seeds, visit town with their parents, nurse a bird with a broken wing back to health, learn manners and safety, go underground with a mole friend, and in a storybook adventure visit a nice woman who turns out to be a witch.

This new series is a departure from Hello Kitty’s first foray into television, with a largely unsuccessful fairy tale format, in that it combines ordinary teaching moments and flights of fancy–literally, as the twins travel via hot air balloon. While the Japanese-based marketing frenzy is aimed at teen girls, this series is strictly for kids. (Ages 3 to 7)

Rating: ★★★☆☆ 

Santa’s Missing Hat Is The Coolest!

This is a cute Hello Kitty Christmas Video. Kerroppi also makes an appearance in his episode. You can get the Hello Kitty episode on dvd but not the Kerroppi so it’s worth the purchase just to get the Kerroppi episode. It’s a must for any Hello Kitty/Kerroppi fan.
