Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theate
Description:
Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater is an animated series that features Hello Kitty and her friends retelling classic fairy tales and stories with a humorous twist. The 1987 show features two 11-minute cartoons per episode, where characters like Tuxedo Sam, My Melody, and Chip star in parodies such as "Cinderkitty," "Kittylocks and the Three Bears," and "Cat Wars," while Catnip and Grinder typically play the villains. The format often begins with a backstage view of the theater before the story unfolds, which concludes with the characters taking a bow.
Format: Each episode is composed of two distinct 11-minute cartoons, each a spoof of a well-known fairy tale or movie.
Characters: Hello Kitty stars in the lead roles, with Tuxedo Sam often appearing as the hero or love interest, My Melody as a damsel-in-distress or other small character, and Chip as a sidekick. Catnip and Grinder are recurring characters usually cast as the villains.
Examples: "The Wizard of Paws" is a parody of The Wizard of Oz. "Cinderkitty" is a take on Cinderella. "Cat Wars" is a parody of the Star Wars movies.
