Interview Howard, Animator of ‘The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends’ (Part 2)

In part 1, Howard introduced the procedure for producing ‘The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends‘, and today, he will tell us about the difficulties the crew encountered in the production process. ‘The animation part is a little more complicated than the modeling itself’, Howard said. Actually, some of the things they have difficulty with since day one are things like the characters’ arms and legs are too short, their facial expression are too limited, and getting approvals from Sanrio when they have come up with crazy ideas!

We always see Hello Kitty in 2D and it  is hard to imagine a 3D Hello Kitty in motion, but  Howard thinks they are even more adorable in motion!
