Trivia[]

  • The original Japanese versions of these OVAs have some scenes that were cut from their English dubs, likely for time.
  • The United States VHS home releases of the show in 1995 were distributed by Family Home Entertainment, which would also release the iconic 1967 Speed Racer anime series among others around the time.
  • The "Mom Loves Me After All" episode is often considered by the Sanrio community as one of the most heartbreaking episodes in all Hello Kitty media.
  • Hello Kitty and Friends marks the debut of Thomas, Fifi, Tracy, Tippy, and Jody.
  • The Canadian VHS cover for "The Prince in His Dream Castle" shows both Hello Kitty and Mimmy meeting Prince Edwin. However, in the actual episode, only Kitty meets the prince in person.
  • "The Wonderful Sisters" is a popular episode among fans, as it shows Mimmy having a love interest with a male cat named Robert, who is seen as a precursor of Dear Daniel.
