Title: Hello Kitty and Friends - Intro Theme (closed captions) 
By: starlac
Description: Intro to the anime series Hello Kitty and Friends, a series of short films from Sanrio that were translated into English in 1994 by YTV Canada.
Kitty White (AKA Hello Kitty) and her twin sister Mimmy have adventures in their hometown, which is apparently London; as evidenced in episodes like "The Day the Big Clock Stopped". As well as play roles in various fairytales and fantasy stories -- in a similar style to the earlier 1987 DiC series " Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theatre"
Comprised of episodes made singularly going as far back as the end of the Eighties (Kitty herself dates back to the Seventies), Sanrio sold the collective cartoons they'd had made as a package to the US rather than singly. The dubbing was handled by Optimum Productions.
Trying to figure out the ordering of the collective shorts as they would have been released in Japan is a task that this user feels unable to untangle, as Sanrio didn't originally intend them as a series per se.
Because of the nature of the release of Hello Kitty shorts, this series was, in the west "Pre-dated" by DiC's "Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theatre" series of episodes. Though they are all technically part of the same collective of shorts made by Sanrio dating as far back as 1989.
The use of this introduction theme clip/subject is claimed under 'Fair Use' on the grounds of:
1) the clip/subject is used for - and accompanied with - comments on the show. Comments include such things as the producers of the show (as in the production company/s), the year it first aired and how long the series lasted in 'standard length' episodes. Also noted is the availability of subject on high quality, officially licensed media (e.g. DVD).
2a) Inferior quality of video in relation to the quality of the original source. Being at a much lower screen resolution at a high level of compression. In addition to the substantial generation loss caused as a result of the methods used, the process also causes compression artifacts in the form of: loss of image clarity, noise, pixelization, et al.
2b) The inferior nature coupled with the incomplete nature of this recording and the diminished potential value therein of this recording in relation to the original work.
3) The trivial nature of the potential value of subject's introductory theme (hereon referred to as 'intro'), less the actual show that would otherwise follow. On the basis that it is the show - rather than the show's intro - which is, in essence, the primary draw of any 'realistic' potential audience and therefore the main fiscal worth of the subject (relating to audience/market share and sales of merchandising, i.e. DVD and video).
4) Bar the occasional glimpse at an episode's title car, the clip is of the intro and nothing else. The length of the clip is determined by that of subject's intro original length, no more is taken.
5) The poster and host both receive no revenue from this clip's existence on this site.
