據(jù)Deadline報(bào)道，凱蒂貓（Hello Kitty）動(dòng)畫電影將于2019年上映。這只頭戴紅色蝴蝶結(jié)、有六根對(duì)稱胡須的白色日本短尾貓將在電影中亮相，影片預(yù)算在1.6億美元到2.4億美元之間。

Hello Kitty was created in 1975 by the Sanrio lifestyle company that specializes in the cute sector of Japanese popular culture. The company's managing director Rehito Hatoyama will oversee the Hello Kitty film project. Hello Kitty, according to her official character profile, was born in the suburbs of London and her full name is Kitty White. The character's height has been described as five apples tall and her weight as three apples. Hello Kitty has been portrayed as a friendly and kind girl and has been well received over the decades.
1975年，專注于萌系日本流行文化的三麗鷗公司創(chuàng)造了凱蒂貓（Hello Kitty）的形象。三麗鷗公司常務(wù)鳩山玲人將擔(dān)任電影監(jiān)制。根據(jù)其官方人物資料，凱蒂貓（Hello Kitty）的出生地是倫敦郊區(qū)，她的全名是凱蒂·懷特（Kitty White）。據(jù)描述，她的身高相當(dāng)于5個(gè)蘋果，體重相當(dāng)于3個(gè)蘋果。凱蒂貓（Hello Kitty）被塑造成一個(gè)友好善良的女孩形象，幾十年來一直很受歡迎。

The character early was marketed to young girls with products ranging from dolls to school supplies to backpacks. Sanrio has since expanded the target market to include teenagers and adults with branded products such as purses, luggage and laptops. The Japanese icon last year was worth about $7 billion.
早期，凱蒂貓（Hello Kitty）的形象衍生出了一系列產(chǎn)品，包括玩偶、文具、書包，主要面向少女。此后，三麗鷗公司還將市場(chǎng)受眾擴(kuò)大到青少年和成年人，推出了錢包、行李箱、筆記本電腦等品牌產(chǎn)品。作為日本的標(biāo)志性卡通形象，去年，凱蒂貓（Hello Kitty）的身價(jià)在70億美元左右。
