Synopsis

Mimi and Kitty are bored with the jigsaw puzzle that they have put together so many times, so they use their imaginations to find a more challenging puzzle.

They look around and notice everything in the house is backwards, like a mirror reflection. They find a mysterious note from Mama, which gives them hints about what she need to buy at the store. Then, their friend Moley shows up and leads them through a series of four clues: they need to find something at the store that is square, white and melts. However, before she hears the last clue, Kitty rushes to the store, thinking that the solution to the puzzle is ice cream. Mimi does hear the last clue-that the item also makes bubbles and smells good, and realizes that what Mama really needs is soap.

They go down the kitchen and tell Mama all about the imaginary game they were playing upstairs.

Production notes

Hello Kitty was born on November 1, and she lives in London with her parents and her twin sister Mimi. These third-graders have lots of friends at school with whom they share many adventures. Most often, it's Hello Kitty who leads the group, and usually, they all end up learning an important lesson in the process. Her hobbies include eating yummy cookies that her sister Mimi bakes, and best of all, as Hello Kitty always says, "You can never have too many friends."

This TV series ran for 16 half-hour episodes, each consisting of two cartoons.

Alternate title of series: "Hello Kitty's Paradise."
