Revisiting Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty Fun

Hola and olá, fellow kitties! Now that some of you and some of our animal crossers, including Butters from South Park are relishing in the Summer vibes of Hello Kitty Island Adventure and there is hype for the first season of Lackadaisy as the page for its funding has reached $700,000 for three episodes [7] [30] [31] [40] [42], I believe that now is the time to also revisit the adorableness of Hello Kitty Fun, also known as “Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty” as its fourth anniversary is yet to be marked with a little red heart-shaped stamp. The series began nearly four years ago primarily for Brazilian, Latin-American and Mexican fellow kitties [9] [22] [28] [48] [49]. Nearly a year later, its English version titled “Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty” cuted out English-speaking fellow kitties, including yours truly during a very difficult time for the world [48] [49] [52] [53]. Despite the series’ closure and how it would have been swell to watch a fourth season at some point last year [26], let us fondly reflect on some sweet and fun events with Hello Kitty who can also be referred to as “Hola Gatita” and “Olá Gatinha” during the sales of new Summer-themed Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss merchandise [35] [48] [49].

It is time to look back on the cutest cartoon of 2019 and 2020 that continued to blossom like a field of daisies and buttercups in 2021 [15] [16] [18] [48] [49]! [12] [17]

Since we have already discussed Season One and Season Two of the series [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53], let us warm up for the sporting events in Season Three from 2021 [10] [11] [12] [21] [23] [25]. There may be the absence of Mimmy, Kitty’s twin sister [41], but there is still focus on how the twin with the red or pink bow handles fairly realistic scenarios, making the third season faithful to the previous ones [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53], but in a different theme [26] [27] [28]. The sports she participates in include:

•      Karate [10] [18]
•      Swimming [11] [15]
•      Track running [20] [21]
•      Long jumping [12] [17]
•      Football (also known as Soccer in America) [16] [26] [34]
•      Basketball [19] [25]
•      Skateboarding [14] [27]
•      Gymnastics [13] [23]

Aside from the third time beings the charm after two failures in five shorts [13] [15] [17] [18] [20], others feature her thinking differently during the activity, such as preventing a football from hitting a bee [16], which makes the writing of the third season a little more varied within a sports theme. Despite the difficulties Kitty faces as a pint-sized athlete and how she does not always succeed in every sport [15] [17] [19], she still proves that not only does practice make perfect but that girls like her can do it too. Barbie: The Movie and “No Match For Angelina” anyone [5] [29]? The theme of the third season must have been written that way to keep up with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games that were delayed to Summer 2021 [38] [39] [54].

As much as I can praise the original Angelina Ballerina for handling rather realistic conflicts a young girl could face at some point in a G-rated manner, such as sexism in sports and conquering the fear of something going wrong during a show throughout its run [1] [2] [29], I can praise the third season of Hello Kitty Fun for being a cute compilation of sports-themed shorts in no particular chronological order [13] [14] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20], especially for a younger audience during the run of the reasonably delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games [38] [39] [54]. [13] [23]

And of course, there was a moment of Kitty White doing a sport before the third season as there was an episode of the first centred on her playing tennis with a tennis ball machine [9] [52] [53]. Too bad there was a missed opportunity to write and animate a short centred on her doing a rhythmic ribbon performance as that would have fitted her character so well [37] [38] [39]. As simplistic as the plots are throughout all three seasons [12] [22] [23] [28] [52] [53], they are still enjoyable to watch. [10] [18]

Let us expand on how the shorts in the third season are written. As an autistic person, I guess chopping a pillow instead of a plank of wood would be a lot more sensory-friendly, which is an example of Kitty coming up with an idea of making an activity much easier for her [10] [18]. Another is how she uses an apple as a goal during her attempts at long jumping [12] [17]. As previously mentioned, Kitty has not always succeeded at the end as she shrugs off the failure to slam dunk the last basketball and giggles sweetly in “Slam Dunk” [19] [25]. I like how she imagines collecting apples on her skateboard in “Eyes on The Prize” as it not only provides some form of creative thinking on her behalf but it also reminds me of how Crash Bandicoot would collect wumpa fruit [14] [27] [43]. Kitty’s experiences show that it is okay to show some weakness and not always find an activity easy [10] [11] [13] [15] [18] [23], but as previously mentioned, they show that girls like her can be sporty and have a chance at excelling at sports too, even though the English title of the third season being “Going For Gold” would be mostly misleading as Kitty has only won a gold award in “The Finish Line” [20] [21].

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making a sport more inclusive for you, especially if you are a beginner. Heck, Sonic the Hedgehog wears a life jacket during the swimming events in Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games [36] [37]. [11] [15]

A trophy full of apples [20] [21]! How enrichingly sweet! Could the next trophy Crash Bandicoot wins be full of wumpa fruit [6]? [20] [21]

The series has always been easy on the eyes and ears of a fellow kitty. The visuals are once again simplistic with very little detail in the backgrounds and objects that are crudely coloured in to provide some humbles vibes of a child’s drawings [13] [14] [18] [19] [20]. In “Diving In!”, the water of the swimming pool she eventually jumps into is in a nice light tint of blue that fits nicely into the plain white background [11] [15]. The same applies to the sand’s pale colour in “Jumping For Apples” [12] [17]. I just love it when red hearts appear around her, along with how a bee drew a bigger one for her with their trail in “Goal!” [16] [26]! Kitty’s movements are rather basic due to her kawaii art-styled anatomy but quite elegant enough to challenge Angelina from Angelina Ballerina to a dance-off [1] [2] [13] [23]. Aside from some fitting sound effects and others that are far quirkier beyond realism [14] [20] [21] [27], there is a variety of short but pleasant musical samples that are heard throughout each of Kitty’s progresses to elevate her moods and further increase the wholesomeness [13] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]. Looks like some dialogue for the fashion icon feline is not necessary when her determination in each premise is self-exploratory. With some good use of cheery audio and a simplistically cute art style, the series maintained its individuality throughout all three seasons [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53].
 

The grass in “Goals” may not be literally green [16] [26], but it can be considered already greener when it comes to maintaining Kitty’s likeability [22]. And again, Kitty stands out from the plainly designed backgrounds like a star in the night sky [48] [49]. [16] [26]

And not to mention that Kitty is a fashionable young lady as she wears appropriate attire for each sport [10] [13] [14] [18] [23] [27]. [19] [25]

Overall, revisiting the third season of Hello Kitty Fun, also known as “Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty” two years after its run is quite convenient as this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand kicked off the day before the theatrical release of Barbie: The Movie [5] [16] [20] [32]. For those cartoon lovers who consider themselves more like dog people, Scooby-Doo and his fellow investors, also commonly referred to as “those meddling kids” by those who get caught red-handed are yet to solve another case with the aid of Krypto the Superdog this September [44]. As for Hello Kitty and her fellow Sanrio stars, there is a lot to do on their vacation on Apple Arcade [45], from baking cakes to taking photographs. Who can forget her promotional appearance at Apple Omotesando in Tokyo [8]? Not me, fellow kitties! To this day, Hello Kitty Fun, also known as “Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty” deserves some recognition for being such a cute and wholesome cartoon on the internet [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53]. Reviewing the third season two years later after its run is better late than never [13] [14] [15] [17] [18] [19]. Sometime afterwards, I am sure that I will be starstruck at the sixth episode of the second season of Helluva Boss [3] [4]. Stay sweet and have fun, fellow kitties!

Hello Kitty can never have too much praise for being wholesome, adorable, and fashionable! [14] [27]

And of course, I shall look forward to the first episode of the first season of Lackadaisy soon [30] [31] [33] [46] [47]. Until then, go for your own kind of gold, fellow kitties! [16]

More Sweet Moments Of Hello Kitty Fun

Hola and olá, fellow kitties! I may be sick to the back teeth of the negativity caused by certain impacts that occurred in 2020 [52], but I vow to never get tired of writing, along with loveable cartoon characters like Hello Kitty. Besides, plenty of simmers are caring for an unexpected crossover with the Care Bears in the latest update of The Sims FreePlay [6] [7] [8] [9]. Since July 2020, I have been completely cuted out by the innocent of Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty from the giggling of the white-furred starlet to the cheerful theme tune that plays in the title sequence and credits of each episode. As the series progressed weekly, I have discovered the truth about how it was firstly established [24] [27] [29], along with a second season that might not have been noticed by many English-speaking viewers [17] [18] [19] [23] [25] [28]. While some bronies and pegasisters are admiring the beauty of various items from a haul in association with an online-interpretation of UK Ponycon on Discord and the convention’s adorable mascot Britannia [40] [53] [54] [55], I will proceed to analyse even more of Kitty White’s fun and sweet moments with hopes for even more of them with her outside of the animated web series and so on in 2021.

Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty is delightfully faithful to the fashionable feline’s sweet nature [56] [57] [58] [59], even though some fellow kitties may still prefer the animation and premises of the videos on Sanrio’s Japanese YouTube channel [20] [21]. [13]

Even though I called Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty “The Cutest Cartoon Of 2020”, the series firstly uploaded in the three official Latin-American Hello Kitty YouTube channels back in late 2019 as “Hello Kitty Fun” [24] [27] [29]. This is quite similar to how the four episodes of Angelica and Susie’s Pre-School Daze firstly aired in the United Kingdom in 2005 before it aired in the United States in 2008 [46] [47]. Since the series was firstly for Latin-American fellow kitties and there is no spoken dialogue from the white bobtailed feline [16] [22] [26], I can still enjoy watching any episode on any of the official Hello Kitty channels without having to fully understand Mexican Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese [1] [36], despite already knowing how to speak several Spanish words and phrases. After realising the actuality of how the series was firstly established, I suppose I can still call it “The Cutest Cartoon Of 2020” for English-speaking fellow Kitties who have witnessed the sweet moments on the Hello Kitty And Friends channel, quite like how I would call Kitten Catfe “The Cutest Collectable Toy Of 2020” [32] [33]. Besides, why not briefly combine the two exclusively regional titles and call the series “Fun Hello Kitty Moments”?

It turns out that the series was originally called “Hello Kitty Fun” and was uploaded online mainly for Latin-American viewers at first [24] [29]. [27]

I suppose some Brazilian and Mexican fellow kitties can refer to Hello Kitty as “Hola Gatita” and “Olá Gatinha”. [29]

In September 2020, another set of episodes were established in a more episodic format on the Latin-American Hello Kitty channels [17] [18] [19] [23] [25] [28], seemingly as a second season since a compilation of the other episodes were put together as a “complete first season” on each one of them [16] [22] [26]. The only difference that the second season provides and the first season lacks is that the premise of the new set of episodes that links them chronologically is Kitty going on a road trip in a van as proven at the beginning of each one that resembles a map [17] [18] [19] [23] [25] [28], which makes me believe that it was established to somehow give the second season a fresh new direction. Theoretically, the premise of “Adventure Awaits” could be viewed as a chronological prequel to the road trip-themed episodes as it features Kitty packing her suitcase and then bringing a smaller one with her [11]. Furthermore, I have a theory that the road trip episodes will be uploaded on Hello Kitty and Friends channel as a second season for fellow kitties whose first language is English at some point next year, which I hope will come true in a hopefully much safer time.

A new “road trip” season is more chronological than the previous season of Hello Kitty Fun [16] [22] [26]. [18]

I suppose “Adventure Awaits” was a potential teaser for the road trip season on the Latin-American Hello Kitty channels. [11]

Let us look into the aspects of the writing put into the first season of series once again. As lucky as she is to not be crying over spilt milk, the idea of juggling apples to successfully reach some bottles from the high shelves in “Milky Situations” was indeed clever and creative as a sign of her adorable independence [12]. Other forms of creativity include how she wrote her initials with the substance of one of the sweets in a giant cookie in another episode [24]. I like how she uses her imagination to further enhance her confidence in riding her tricycle in “Ride into Greatness” [13]. As well as creativity, there is a pinch of realism in “There’s Always Tomorrow” [14]. Throughout that episode, Kitty has to deal with a small variety of distractions from her studying but then falls asleep as a sign of giving in during her bedtime, which is what many fellow kitties may have faced at some point in our lives. The amounts of creative and fairly realistic elements in the writing provide a balance of imaginative thinking and the aspects of a run-of-the-mill life for the child-friendly tone of the series.

The exclamation mark next to Kitty’s head says it all in one moment of “There’s Always Tomorrow”. [14]

Some moments are quite unexpected and quite tense in the first season of series, such as Kitty’s walk through sweet treats turning out to be a dream and how she accidentally loses her teddy bear in the depths of the snow [24] [27]. It was a little odd to see the gleeful gijinka suddenly remove regular candles after placing them on each cake in another episode, but I adore how she decides to place a heart-shaped one on the birthday cake as it is yet another ironic moment and an example of her delightful way of thinking [29]. How she was distracted from sunbathing by a gust of wind that blew her rubber ring in the sixth episode of the second season is another example of casual tension in a weather-related situation, which is later solved with various items tied to a beach umbrella [19]. I can honestly relate to how the weather kept changing and motivating Kitty into constantly changing her outfit in the fifth episode [25]. Some simplistic and legitimate plots for a family-friendly web series ought to provide moments of mild tension and irony to make them more engaging, which is what the web series has accomplished throughout various calming musical jingles.

Oi, you naughty wind! Leave Hello Kitty’s things alone! [19]

Mild moments of conflict being solved quite surprisingly not only makes them sweet, but watchable. [27]

What else does the second season have to offer besides being more chronological and theoretically shorter with fewer episodes? Well, to suit certain modern-day standards for today’s youth, Kitty owns a smartphone [17] [23]. She can be seen in photographs on an app that resembles Instagram on her phone at the end of each episode within the new season [17] [18] [19] [23] [25] [28]. Speaking of photographs, I can strongly relate to the struggles of trying to make the “best” selfie demonstrated by Kitty in the fourth episode [17]. I am pretty sure that my boyfriend can relate to the struggles with a very “co-operative” sat nav she faces in the second episode [23]. Despite how I think the usage of a smartphone would work better for a character who was firstly established in the 2010s since Kitty was firstly introduced in the mid-1970s [57] [58] [59] [60], the idea of a nostalgic character getting used to today’s technology is ultimately harmless. Besides, at least there is no parody of TikTok seen on Kitty’s phone as she is far too sweet and kind to fall into the depravity within the corrupt side of the TikTok community that would make Candace from Phineas and Ferb sing angrily about it [5] [31].

Who needs a sat nav when you can just read a map on a folded sheet of paper? You know, the traditional way? [23]

At least Kitty is not as attached to a smartphone at times as Loona from Helluva Boss [34] [35]. [23]

What is more important than a nostalgic character occasionally using modern technology for today’s youth is the overall portrayal within decent writing. Previously, we have seen her show an act of kindness by doing whatever she could to help her pet fishy go to sleep in “Sweet Dreams” [59] [60]. In some other episodes, Kitty has shown herself to be an independent problem solver. An example of this in the second season would be at least trying to set up her tent all by herself and eventually succeeding after some failed attempts [28]. A balance of compassion and independence within her portrayal can set up a fairly good example for very young girls today, encouraging them to solve small problems mindfully. So much better than what the main characters of Teen Titans GO would encourage [56], right? Despite the usage of emotional hearts reducing realism in an overly sweet way [57] [58], I still find Kitty White’s portrayal heart-warming and quite relatable at times. I would love her twin sister Mimmy to have a similar portrayal in possibly a third season of Hello Kitty Fun [48], even though the announcement trailer for her own Japanese YouTube channel was a joke for April Fool’s Day [21].

Kitty White is as cute as Serena from Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City and she is completely capable of solving her own problems and even staying positive if she is unable to [2] [37], making her a potentially good influence for young children today. [28]

Now for another visual analysis of the sweet and fun moments with Kitty White. There is once again a filter to resemble darkness once it starts to rain, but in a more greyish shade compared to the tint of purple in “Sweet Dreams” [25] [57] [58]. Surely the backgrounds are still colourless like the asdfmovie series [42] [43] [44] [45], but the art style is still refreshing with interactive items being coloured in. I think Kitty’s green bikini with white polka dots in the sixth episode of the road trip season is stylishly adorable [19]. I also love glitter that occurs around her teddy bear in one moment of “Adventure Awaits” [11]. With the maintenance of an art style that consists of child-like charm, the second season is sure to maintain the series’ appeal for its prime target audience, even though the fish tank in “Sweet Dreams” looks like a dumpling [16] [22] [26]. After about several more episodes of Fun Hello Kitty Moments in 2021, I wonder if we will ever see Kitty White outside of the series with a blue bow that is between her ears like in Tamagotchi Meets Sanrio and a white nose like in her debut on a coin purse [15].

I adore the very simplistic, yet lovely starry setting here, along with the adorable design of Kitty’s smartphone. [17]

I also love a rainbow that appears over Kitty’s camper van after her struggle to wear the most appropriate clothing. [25]

In another cute conclusion, I can say that both Latin-American and English-speaking fellow kitties still adore Fun Hello Kitty Moments while many of our Nintendo nerds and Minecrafters are digging the fact that Steve and Alex will be the newest fighters in the ambitious roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and are starstruck by how Kirby will appear after he swallows either of them [16] [22] [26] [30] [38] [39]. I still strongly believe that many fellow kitties and Tama-caretakers will adore the upcoming crossover with Hello Kitty and Tamagotchi that will be released in December 2020 [4] [50]. It was quite strange yet refreshing how Kitty’s bow was settled in the centre of her head instead of her left ear in their previous collaboration with some other Sanrio characters [3] [41] [51], but it still brought out the timeless kawaii vibes she has consisted of ever since she was on a coin purse in the mid-1970s [15] [59] [60]. Could there be a third season of Fun Hello Kitty Moments that features different coloured bows [10], including a yellow one for a certain Mimmy [15] [48]? If not, we can still embrace the cuteness and innocence of the iconic gijinka whether she will be on a fashion accessory or another animated series. Stay sweet, fellow kitties!

Hello Kitty can never have too many vibes of cuteness! [12]

Have sweet dreams tonight, fellow kitties! [24]
