Hello Kitty's Paradise: Fun With Friends is the second volume of DVDs released for Hello Kitty's Paradise. The back of the box claims there are eight complete episodes included. However, the box doesn't explicitly state that the episodes are roughly ten to eleven minutes in length; two "episodes" actually make up one whole episode of Hello Kitty's Paradise. In between the stories, and sometimes at the beginning or at the end of the show, there is a "Fun and Games" section using claymation, and the games include such things as "Guess the Shape," "Animals! Animals!" and "Kitty's Caterpillar Quiz."
The episodes included on this disc are: "The Magic Bags," "The Dust Monster," "Put On a Happy Place," "The Train to Grandma's House," "Paper Play," "Sizing Things Up," "The Broken Robot," and "What's in Store" (which is mislabeled on the back of the box as "What's in the Store"). The episodes either encourage children to use their imaginations or work to teach kids important lessons about life. Lessons included on this disc are sharing, counting, safety, manners, and making new friends. As a parent, I appreciated that the English dub versions of the stories included on the DVD provided positive messages for their intended audience. I also appreciate that the English dubs of the actual stories were written in a way that the episodes didn't talk down to the audience.
Admittedly, this is a "low frills" DVD release. The main menu has options for Scene Selection and DVD Credits. The DVD Credits is a screen which shows who worked on this Hello Kitty DVD release.
The Hello Kitty's Paradise DVD releases contain anime that's very friendly to young children. However, girls will probably be more interested in these DVDs than boys, due to the "cuteness" of Hello Kitty. If you have a young child at home and are looking for kid-friendly anime, then I would recommend the Hello Kitty's Paradise DVDs.

This is the second DVD of four that are available in the Hello Kitty "paradise" series. It features cartoons about Hello Kitty and Mimi in imaginative play, and episodes on things such as manners, sharing and taking turns. This DVD contains: The Magic Bags, The Dust Monster, Put on a Happy Place, The Train to Grandma's House, Paper Play, Sizing Things Up, and The Broken Robot. In between each episode were little games such as guess the animal and shapes that bounced around... which I found was rather uninteresting, and as an adult, I wanted to fast forward past them. I also felt the Magic Bag episode left me hanging without a proper conclusion and the Dust Monster almost seemed like it was trying to scare kids into cleaning (although it works out fine in the end). But, I do feel it has good lessons for preschoolers, so I'm giving it 4 stars. But, if you are an adult Hello Kitty fan like I am or want something for a child slightly older than preschool age, I suggest the Hello Kitty Furry Tale Theater series instead (ie, Hello Kitty Becomes a Princess, Hello Kitty Goes to the Movies, etc).
