Lights, Camera, Action at Universal Studios Hollywood

Exciting news! Hello Kitty and her Sanrio pals have joined Universal Studios in Hollywood  at the theme park’s all-new Animation Studio Store!

In true Hollywood fashion, the spotlight shines brightly on Hello Kitty and her friends from Sanrio, including My Melody, Keroppi, and Chococat, as they star in a selection of park-exclusive merchandise, including accessories, apparel, stationery, souvenirs, and collectibles.

An array of delectable confectionery—prepared fresh daily—is also available, including such tasty treats as Hello Kitty, Chococat and Keroppi themed s’mores, and a variety of Hello Kitty themed fudge, cupcakes and caramel apples.

Highlights of the exclusive product offerings feature designs incorporating Sanrio characters into classic Universal titles such as Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Back to the Future and more, as well as the group enjoying a variety of Universal Studios Hollywood theme park attractions, from the world-famous Studio Tour to the “Jurassic Park—The Ride” and “King Kong 360 3D.”  New park-exclusive merchandise will be released regularly!

The shop also features the popular Hello Kitty Build-A-Bow display, inviting guests to customize their design from a selection of colorful bow options. Guests purchasing any Sanrio item will also receive a complimentary Hello Kitty Hollywood-themed temporary tattoo, which mirrors Sanrio’s ‘small gift, big smile’ philosophy that is demonstrated globally across all Sanrio’s retail stores and special events.

Hello Kitty will also make special appearances—just outside the entrance of the Animation Studio Store! Making her Hollywood debut in a red pleated dress embellished with film strips, Hello Kitty will meet and greet fans near a collection of Sanrio-themed topiaries, including My Melody, Keroppi and Chococat, and window displays featuring the characters making movies and enjoying the Universal Studios Hollywood experience.

The Animation Studio Store is now open and sits at the heart of Universal Studios Hollywood. When visiting The Entertainment Capital of L.A., be sure to come say hello!
