Hangyodon no Hadaka no Ousama

Hello Kitty's Animation Theter is a OVA series with Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters appearing in their versions of different fairy tales.

It was released in the U.S. by ADV Films (who also own the video/DVD rights to Hello Kitty and Friends & Hello Kitty's Paradise).

In Latin America, the OVAS were distributed through the Cartoon Network LA and Boomerang LA cable channels, with a Latin dubbing. Currently, the dub is considered Lost Media.

"A little bit of a lonely romantic, Hangyodon doesn't express a ton of emotion. Surprisingly though, he's an aspiring comedian. Some of his favorite things include shrimp crackers, hot pot, and hot springs. His best friend is a cheerful octopus named Sayuri."
