“Growing up in Brazil with a Japanese family, I was surrounded by the whimsy of Hello Kitty and it served as a reminder that it's okay to be different. Along with Jen, FlynnPictureCo. and New Line, I am delighted by this incredible opportunity to work with one of the most universally beloved characters and expand their relatable Sanrio stories even further.”Matsuda said.

松田說,“我在巴西的一個日本家庭長大,從小就被Hello Kitty的奇思妙想所包圍,它讓我知道每個人都可以是與眾不同的。我很高興能有這樣一個機(jī)會,與詹妮弗、弗林影業(yè)和新線影業(yè)一起,與世界上最受喜愛的角色之一合作,并進(jìn)一步續(xù)寫有關(guān)三麗鷗的故事。”
