File:Hello Kitty and Friends - Intro Theme (closed captions)

Intro to the anime series Hello Kitty and Friends, a series of short films from Sanrio that were translated into English in 1994 by YTV Canada.

Kitty White (AKA Hello Kitty) and her twin sister Mimmy have adventures in their hometown, which is apparently London; as evidenced in episodes like "The Day the Big Clock Stopped". As well as play roles in various fairytales and fantasy stories -- in a similar style to the earlier 1987 DiC series " Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theatre"

Comprised of episodes made singularly going as far back as the end of the Eighties (Kitty herself dates back to the Seventies), Sanrio sold the collective cartoons they'd had made as a package to the US rather than singly. The dubbing was handled by Optimum Productions.

Trying to figure out the ordering of the collective shorts as they would have been released in Japan is a task that this user feels unable to untangle, as Sanrio didn't originally intend them as a series per se.

Because of the nature of the release of Hello Kitty shorts, this series was, in the west "Pre-dated" by DiC's "Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theatre" series of episodes. Though they are all technically part of the same collective of shorts made by Sanrio dating as far back as 1989.
