I will never understand why they didn’t give Kitty and her family British accents when they’re supposed to be canonically British and living near London.
@@sghope exactly! The English translation teams keep missing this important detail! This bothers me just as much as the “is Hello Kitty a cat” discourse where people are forgetting anthropomorphism exists.
Probably because when the series was translated to English, it was done in Canada. There were other character segments which did not take place in the UK.
it's so odd- typically Papa kitty DOES help mama - at the very least in some episodes I've seen. I guess they wanted to show that maybe both parents would be occupied when handling a baby, but maybe they could have had him preparing the baby a bottle or getting the baby some bkankets in that scene to show that? Tho tbf kids shows don't usually have as much funding so I assume they had to save up on those precious animation cels. Either way though, I do love how this episode showcases the struggles a child may feel in a new home environment like this
The Frensh dub was actually more impactful because from what I remember, at the scene where Kitty was waiting at school in the rain for her mom there was no narrator; the scene was just long, silent and very sad. It's why I still have this episode in my mind rent free
as a child development major (who didnt get this video in their recommended until a year later...okay) what you said was basically on point. a lot of people, especially millennials, sometimes don't prioritize or even neglect children's emotional development, which can prove to harm them emotionally later on. considering how you would feel or what you would want if you were that child is a good trick. luckily one of the classes I took had a unit dedicated to emotional (well, social and emotional) development of children. it's good to see that's finally getting touched upon.
Older sister here! I very much had my Hello Kitty moments, and it wasn't because of the baby specifically, it was because even at 5, I realized I needed help and I needed more care and wound up having to be independent too early. My dad was very selfish and actually viewed the new baby as a threat to his attention, so at five, I found myself defending my little brother barely a week after he was born. By the time I was 7, I was put in charge when my mom wasn't home, because my father acted younger than the baby. When I watched this episode as a kid, I had a big ol' bag of emotions. I felt like Kitty's mom bit off more than she could chew with looking after someone else's baby. You can see her wearing herself ultra thin and totally forgetting her real children. She doesn't even apologize for messing up lunch or for pushing them away. Kitty's father also owes the girls a huge apology for not doing anything at all. He didn't even offer to take turns with the mother, which would have at least been a minimal compromise. Mimmy absolutely shouldn't be this self-sufficient this young, but sometimes this happens when we get thrown away, let down and forgotten too many times by adults who flat out refuse to take responsibility for their behavior. In Kitty's case, while her outbursts seemed a little immature for her at first, by the rain segment, I realized that just like me, she was just tired of being told "we love you" but the actions not lining up. They didn't bother to look for her, and honestly she should be praised for at least being intelligent enough to know how to get to her grandparents' house in a case where she's been abandoned. I lived in bad neighborhoods growing up, and a kid left alone like that usually ends up in a bad way. They're really lucky she got the right help right away. Taking care of a new baby has its stressful moments, but you shouldn't lose sight of your other children. Ask for help from another adult and never expect the old kids to raise themselves.
As an older sibling, I feel like I naturally evolved into becoming more like Mimmy. But after seeing this episode, I realized how deep down, I really am more like hello kitty and I feel like that part of me is still inside of me. So you can imagine how much I cried as I was watching! But seeing the episode was also a great way to practice healing my inner child. I really appreciate you recapping this episode. 💖
Honestly, I was a lot like Mimmy. My mom was an addict and my dad was working a lot, so I had to be responsible from the time I was three. Sometimes I wonder if I missed out on anything.
Oh. My God. I remember this episode! I have the Hello Kitty Holiday DVD, and I was OBBESSED with re-watching it over and over again. Literally JUST THIS EPISODE. I have no clue WHY. It's strange seeing this again because I thought it was pretty obscure, but I guess it's well known? Idk if anyone watched the DVD too, but hey, nice to see it again!
I'm the youngest child so while I never had to adjust to a younger sibling, I think I was still more like Kitty when it came to changes in my childhood 😂 I loved this video!!
It’s funny I don’t know how I reacted to meeting my sister the first time 🤷♀️ (I mean I WAS 4😅)…. I sort of hope I’m like Mimmy (although I’m the big sister)
I get it... it was weirdly nice to have an acknowledgement of how painful it is to be forgotten/ignored by your parents (even if in this case it was a mistake/miscommunication). It's nice to decompress with soft aesthetics while sorting through childhood emotions. Thanks, Hello Kitty.
I was seriously super impressed by how well done this episode/video was. I genuinely think it is unironically one of the best stories of family ever put to media. I agree with this review! I've had moments where I've felt unloved and have run away before, so I could relate to this!
@@sghope Thanks for the positivity. I appreciate it a whole lot. You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs so knowing you saw my comment at all makes things just the slightest bit better already. :)
I honestly can’t say if this was a nightmare or not but I have a very very vague memory of watching a hello kitty show as a very little kid where hello kitty was stuck in some spooky looking house or something and I got so scared that I freaked out and started crying. Honestly have no idea what is was but I remember how I felt about it which is probably the only reason I remember it at all
A little off topic, but A few years ago, I looked up an old Hello Kitty cartoon. I forgot how it went, but the mom said something like "don't talk to strangers dear, I seen their television". I thought that was pretty funny (and for a man in his late 20s).
I remember watching this episode as a surprisingly emotionally developed child and it’s hit home so hard 🥹💗✨🌸 I thought it was a fever dream for so long 😩😭
I actually had the hello kitty dvd that had this episode on it. They had some other hello kitty episodes on the dvd while also having other cartoons with other sanrio characters like keropii and pochacco. I loved watching these cartoons as a kid and I still do.
That specific episode made me realize how I was a lot like Hello Kitty when I was little, and now I’m a lot like Mimmy because I choose to deal with my feelings myself because I always feel like I’ll burden my parents
Just don't confuse it with popular Dutch cartoon Miffy and Friends that I happen to have grown up with while watching it on Noggin at my grandparents' house.
I'm a (step) parent now and it's been a learning curve since I was starved of the love I wanted from my parents growing up (they were too mentally ill and alcoholics) so now I'm trying to figure out the right amount of attention to my kid
The fact that you're trying says a lot about your personal character. I'm sure your kid can (or will) appreciate that effort. Wishing you the best on your parenting journey! :)
omg i love this hello kitty show but i haven’t seen this episode! as an oldest sibling who was forced to raise their youngest sibling, i almost cried while watching this lol. i am more like mimmy since i had to mature fast, but i have had times where i wanted to act out like kitty but couldn’t bc i would probably get smacked for it 😅 i relate so much to how kitty feels. it’s hard to not feel unloved, to feel ignored, and to think you’d probably be better off somewhere else. unfortunately for me, my life didn’t end like this episode did. but i think that’s why i use hello kitty to cope as a child-adult lol
I have watched this one, furrytale theater, and Stump Village! They’re were a staple in my childhood. I really enjoyed the lessons in Stump Village and in this show. Charmy Kitty, Jewelpet, and Onegai My Melody really got me invested in anime though! Some nice life lessons in there that young me could understand.
Apparently, this OVA was written by Sukehiro Tomita who was a scriptwriter on literally every prominent mecha show of the 80s (Trider G7, Ideon, Daioja, Dougram, Goshogun, Braiger, Macross (including DYRL), Dunbine, L-Gaim, Tobikage, Victory Gundam, Macross 7) as well as Gall Force, Digimon Frontier, Sailor Moon (original, R and S), Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Wedding Peach and a whole lot of other stuff
This unlocked so many memories of when I watched this episode on a dvd, the same one mentioned in this video no less! I never would have guessed that those two Hello Kitty memes came from this! XD
Im an aunt of 3, the eldest has the most responsiblity, pressure n whatnot bc of that. My sis is ill, her bf works n i do what i can. My niece says "shes fine" yet shes not. So i find her, i hold her allowing her to cry, she told me whats wrong. I assured her its okay and what steps we can to help her. She had bathroom problems (wont go in detail ofc). She had a lil infection. I find myself gravitying towards her when my sis is well or the bf is home. Ive got no experience in child care but sometimes assuring them that you can talk to them can help especially when ur both alone
Growing up both of my parents worked, and were hyper focused on their jobs, meaning I had to deal with them being absent a lot of the time. This also meant that when I waited for my mom to pick me up from school, I was always the last kid waiting. That scene where hello kitty waited for her mom and she never shows up really hit home for me.
Definitely a well done and emotional episode. Even if the parents role could have been better. It was great to see. I was definitely kitty. For a long long time. I was 8 and 10 when my little sisters where born. I was all about pleasing my parents. I was black sheep in my family at the time. I was very weird to them. They loved me, but I was still weird to them. Unbeknownst to be at the time. My dad was neurodivergent and would get overestimated and mad at me for seemingly no reason. So I very much was in a cycle of trying to apease them. Adding a baby to that, definitely made it harder. It got to the point where the got into a "shes a happy kid she will bounce back." Mentality. Even if the parents didn't admit fault. Seeing that parents should be concerned with how they're children are feeling is good and validting as a kitty ❤.
Like 2 years ago(I think?) I looked up something about a hello kitty show or something in hungarian and actually watched this exact episode, in hungarian. Weird how it was this exact one lol. I also think I might have watched more of this when I was little, but I don't really remember, since most of the hello kitty videos I found as a kid was either people making small hello kitty based kitchens or something or some kind of movie of hello kitty as snow white (keep in mind I was looking for just ones that they were speaking hungarian or nothing like the miniature kitchen ones, I really dont even know what I am talking about when talking abt this mini kitchen one, just describing my old memories and the pictures I have in my head of it, not even sure if it was hello kitty related but I remember watching it around the time I was like looking for something hello kitty to watch)
I will never understand why they didn’t give Kitty and her family British accents when they’re supposed to be canonically British and living near London.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT- YOU'RE RIGHT!! I don't think Kitty and her family have ever been depicted with a British accent??
@@sghope exactly! The English translation teams keep missing this important detail!
This bothers me just as much as the “is Hello Kitty a cat” discourse where people are forgetting anthropomorphism exists.
That’s a good point…also I had no idea she’s from London 😅

As a Hello Kitty fan I have seen all of the episodes of this anime and of the one where they are putting on plays. So cute.
im so happy that the original hello kitty and friends show is getting popular!! Ive watched it to calm down for years

I used to watch that with my best friend when I was 6-9 (I don’t mean that is a sus way)
Also nice pfp! I love Chongyun
SAME THOUGH I HAD A DVD
I've had two major panic attacks today so this video is going to be a blessing.

I used to watch this series as a kid and I remember being so annoyed by Kitty. I always strived to be Mimmy. Kitty is literally just Caillou...
NOOO DON’T DO KITTY LIKE THAT 🤣💀💀
Not the him💀
Um 😅
bruh same
I remember the "she didnt come" vividly.. it was in french tho, but yes I never forgot that moment since i was 6y old it never left me TT
AAAAAA I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS SHOW!!!! ( this and fairytale theater! )
Hello kitty and friends was my favorite hello kitty cartoon as a kid right after hello kitty’s fairy tail theater!

Miffy has Japanese vibes tho
I gre up watching Miffy in Australia, too.
