Description

Discover big fun with Hello Kitty® in five larger-than-life adventures!

"The Phantom of the Theater": Hello Kitty's theater is fun, exciting and…haunted? It looks like someone's been playing lots of spooky tricks on the furry-tale gang. But who could it be? The answer is purrfectly hilarious!

"Frankencat": Dr. Frankencat (Catnip) creates a good-natured monster (Grinder) who befriends My Melody. But it's up to Hello Kitty and Constable Sam to save the friendly beast from a horde of angry villagers.

"Catula": Catnip has gone completely batty! She's flying all over Catsylvania sipping everyone's favority frosty-cold drink. Thank goodness Hello Kitty has a secret plan and a few extra gallons of milk!

"The Pawed Piper": Can anything make Catnip grumpier than sharing the spotlight with her pals? Yes…fleas! But even this fussy feline knows when to step aside - and let Hello Kitty come in to save the day!

"Rumpeldogskin": Once upon a meow, good King Sam and the lovely Queen Kitty rode into the sunset and lived happily ever after. Or, at least they were about to - before a huge, magical troll (Grinder) got in the way!

4 out of 5 stars 5 Hello Kitty cartoons not available since the 80's!.......2005-06-23

The cartoons are from the 1980's Hello Kitty tv series "Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater," which are variations on popular fairy tales/movies. They feature Hello Kitty, My Melody, Tuxedo Sam, Chip, Catnip & Grinder, who are actors in the theatre. Each DVD contains 5 fairy tales, and each fairy tale is about 10 minutes long and has its own unique take on the familiar stories. They are also changed to be less violent, nicer and more suited for children (water balloon fights instead of guns).

The quality of the DVD's are more like TV broadcast quality and this is the reason I've given it 4 stars instead of 5. I think they could've enhanced the quality before putting it onto DVD. It is also not recorded in stereo sound. I already owned the 2 Furry Tale Theater VHS's (Kitty and the Beast, The Wizard of Paws), so I already knew what to expect.

I'm an adult Sanrio collector and I loved seeing these episodes, and I would feel good about letting my children see these too.

The following is the list of the episodes in this DVD:
"Hello Kitty Plays Pretend" contains The Phantom of the Theater, Frankencat, Catula, The Pawed Piper, and Rumpeldogskin.

This DVD contained 5 episodes which were not previously available on the 2 VHS's I had, so these were all new to me!
