Hello Kitty

Channelnewsasia.com: " Hong Kong's die-hard Hello Kitty admirers are once again paying tribute to their favourite cartoon character.

A large-scale exhibition in the territory attracted more than 1,000 fans on the first day and a riot almost broke out when most of them weren't allowed in before a limited edition toy sold out."

This has been a real success story. Some characters just have huge appeal from one generation to the next and such universal appeal. Hello Kitty is 30 years old but is still going strong and the exibition in Hong Kong appears to be a runaway success. There is no mention made of whether the exhibition will tour. I am certain it would be well patronised wherever it went because Hello Kitty is everywhere and everyone has a soft spot for it.
