Sanrio's 'Hello Kitty the Show' Debuts in Italy

Hello Kitty has invaded Italy, under the guise of 'Hello Kitty the Show.' If you thought there couldn't be any more Hello Kitty cross-branding you were wrong, dead wrong.

'Hello Kitty the Show' is currently only playing in Italy. The show tells the story of three girls who are seeking a way to express themselves through the meeting of fantasy characters. It doesn't really make sense to me either, but I know some people are probably going bananas reading this. If you love Hello Kitty I suggest you book a flight to Italy right away.
