The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends (Chinese: Hello Kitty 愛漫遊; Japanese: ハローキティと仲間たちの冒険) is a 3D animated preschool television series featuring Hello Kitty and other characters from the Japanese company Sanrio. It was never actually dubbed in Japanese at all. It was produced from February 2008 onwards by Sanrio Digital and Dream Cortex, and distributed by Sanrio Digital. It consists of 52 episodes and deals with themes of happiness, family and friendship.[1]

Overview

These series focus on core values established more than 30 years ago by Sanrio such as: happiness, family values, friendship, and educational values.

  • Unlike the previous animated series, which were short and cute episodes, this is an educational television series that targets both younger viewers and their parents.
  • The animation works together with real actors in teaching children from age two to six about words, simple math, shapes, colors and foreign languages like Chinese & Japanese.
  • The series offers an entertaining way for younger viewers to learn about social interaction and behavior while following the adventures of Hello Kitty.
  • Hello Kitty establishes a new image, giving younger viewers more things to learn from, rather than just being sweet and cute.

Characters

Main article: List of Sanrio characters

Main

  • Hello Kitty (voiced by Claudia S. Thompson) - A cheerful, warm-hearted female cat. Baking cookies is her forte. She has a crush on Dear Daniel and My Melody is her best friend.
  • Dear Daniel (voiced by Maggie Blue O'Hara) - A smart, enterprising, bookish male cat the same age as Kitty. He loves learning new things and pursuing his hobby of photographing wildlife. He dresses very formal. He has a crush on Hello Kitty.
  • My Melody (voiced by Andrea Kwan) - A young rabbit who is Kitty's best friend, loves baking cookies and sharing them with her friends. She is a rabbit who wears a red hood and she also wears a white flower near her right ear. Unlike her other appearances, her mouth is invisible.
  • Pochacco (voiced by Candice Moore) - A friendly, slightly goofy dog who loves to play soccer (especially goalkeeper), sleeping and solve mysteries in his spare time.
  • Badtz-Maru (voiced by Andrea Kwan) - A penguin with a good and bad attitude. Always looking for an angle, he is a precocious youngster with dreams of grandeur. His selfish ways get him in hot water from time to time, but his good heart always steers him in the right direction. Sometimes there is rivalry between him and Daniel.
  • Keroppi (voiced by Sarah Hauser) - A fun-loving little frog with a penchant for inventing things. He likes driving his car and playing with new toys.

Others

  • Mr. White (voiced by Russell Wait) - The teacher of Sanrio Town school in which Hello Kitty and her friends study. His physical appearance resembles Anthony White, the grandfather of Kitty.
  • Little Twin Stars (Kiki and Lala, both voiced by Mona Marshall) - The twin who live on a cloud in the sky. They possess magical powers with which they teach lessons and come to the rescue of Kitty and her friends.
  • Cinnamoroll (voiced by Sunday Muse) - A sweet, shy dog who runs Cinnamoroll Cafe on wheels around Sanrio Town. His ability to fly using his big floppy ears comes in handy.
  • Chococat (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) - A black cat with a red scarf. He doesn't talk, but he appears sometimes in the series.
  • Pompompurin - A golden retriever dog who doesn't have a speaking role throughout the series.
  • Kitty's Mother (voiced by Morwenna Banks) - A white adult cat who always stays at home, she only appears in "Happy Earth Day".
