 Very Sweet December 31, 2008
This adorable stop-motion clay anime series details the activities and adventures of Sanrio's most popular characters. As gentle and pleasant as juvenile fare comes, there are no revelations here and conflicts are happily and ingeniously resolved. Production values are excellent, and each episode is cheerfully narrated. This is highly recommended for children aged from three to six years.
 Bad Kitty February 10, 2008
I read several negative reviews before purchasing this product, but thought they were probably just 'over the top' and being picky. I really wanted a Hello Kitty DVD for my girls and went ahead and purchased it. However, after watching the episodes I found the negative reviews quite accurate. We watched it once and had a discussion about how the characters' behaviour is not acceptable and the DVD has now been 'filed' in the cupboard. Sadly, I should've listened to the reviews and taken their advice.
A Favorite at My House November 28, 2007
My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday and it quickly became a favorite of my 4- and 2-year-old. I actually like the music - it's cheery with cute lyrics, though a bit repetitive. The narration is done by a cheerful female.
I do see a couple of pitfalls. First, there are a few minor things in the movie that are off-base for the little ones. A character throws things at a performer and in another scene, characters playing a board game hit each other with one of those squeaky hammers. However, to a young child who doesn't distinguish, it doesn't look like a squeaky hammer and the characters are shown later with band-aids on their heads. I talk to my girls about how this is not appropriate behavior, but some people might want to avoid it all together.
Also, I can see where it's not just for kids. The male college student in the Sanrio store where my dad bought the video said he had it in his collection and liked it. To each his own I guess.
 This rocks!!! November 10, 2007

Drives us (mom & dad) crazy, but daughter LOVES it October 2, 2007

I got this from the library along with some other vids, such as Barney & the Wiggles. I was not expecting... this. The theme song is super cheerful and hard to get out of your head (a little creepy to me, because NO ONE is that happy) I thought my daughter who is almost 2 wouldn't be interested since the little characters don't really talk, but BOY was I wrong! Thanks to this video, Dora has been displaced as my daughter's obsession. If I could get "kitty" squash, I think she'd eat it. Anyway, I haven't seen the other videos in this series, but here's what I have to say.
Good:
Short intro with limited/no commercials at the beginning.
Intro is VERY identifiable as "kitty" so my daughter calms down and knows she's gotten what she wants right away (unlike some other movies which leave her guessing and doubting my reassurances.)
Divided into short episodes, so my daughter can get a fix without me having her in front of the tube for an hour. (and she doesn't get bored)
Bad:
Ending credits take FOREVER. They seem almost as long as the actual show, so I frequently have to FFWD to the next ep. if I'm letting my daughter watch more than one so she doesn't have a coronary from the waiting.
Questionable point/purpose/moral. Maybe I'm over thinking this, but it seems so odd that the "friends" take things that belong to the others even though the owner has expressed a desire to not share, breaking said items and not owning up to it, and are getting mad at each other and not forgiving each other for days. I guess... they seem to be modeling the same behaviors that young kids exhibit (toddlers), but without explaining that we'd rather people share, take turns, own up to their mistakes, forgive each other, etc. I don't know...
Oh, and you will have that intro song stuck in your head forever.
Despite the negatives, however, I gave this a pretty high rating since I will be purchasing the DVD tonight. The other Hello Kitty DVD's (they appear to be from an 80's TV show) we've since rented from the library have come nowhere close to this in popularity in my household.
