Review
Hello Kitty’s Animation Theater 1: Once Upon A Time consists of eight episodes of fun filled childhood stories that most, if not everyone have heard at least once or twice in their life. The stories that are reenacted into a motion picture are: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “King Midas’ Donkey Ears,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “The Bamboo Princess,” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Now, the more mature fans would not give this title the slightest of peeks, but those who have children should most definitely seek out this piece of work. Even I liked Hello Kitty’s Animation Theater for the great compilations of stories and cute characters and I am not much of a Sanrio fan.

There really is not much to say about Animation Theater other than how worthwhile it is for children. You already know how each story will turn out. Just watching the Sanrio characters talking and acting is a delight. Who knows, maybe those who are macho will like this title too. One thing I am certain about is that Animation Theater’s replay value is off the chart high. It will be a difficult task to accomplish for any parent to pull their kids from the television set as their bed time passes by.

The Breakdown
Any child would be exhilarated watching this DVD. While reading the stories provide a better education experience, but watching it play out on screen is not a bad thing at all. It will definitely put a big smile on any kids’ face. This DVD is a must buy for any parent.
