Genre Savvy | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: In the episode, Catula- A Fur-Raising Story, Catnip's stage character is this. From luring the heroes to the castle saying the bridge is out, using Dumb Muscle to attack those who thwart her use of hypnotism, and how to foil those who use garlic against her. The heroes are not to be outdone by detecting Catnip's character as the milk-poaching vampire! | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In "Kittylocks and the Three Bears," the Three Bears steal Kitty's food before she wanders into their house, to make her a little more sympathetic. In "Kitty and the Beast" Sam is transformed into a beast by an evil witch rather than a fairy to teach him a lesson, however this leans more towards Truer to the Text than Adaptational Villainy when reading the original tale. | |

Anachronism Stew: A regular feature of the stories involves a dose of this. Such as the curse in "Sleeping Kitty" being brought upon by watching television. Or the evil fairy of the same segment using a moped in her attempt to foil the heroes. | |

Early Adaptation Weirdness | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_26fd153 | comment |
Early Adaptation Weirdness: Kitty's full name is often subject of I Am Not Shazam due to many people assuming her full name is Hello Kitty and not Kitty White. In this series however, her full name is Hello Kitty. Many of Kitty's friends like Badtz Maru or Pochacco were either too young or were not created at the time, and as a result, the only recurring Sanrio characters in this show are My Melody, Tuxedo Sam and Chip. | |

Punny Name: Besides the names of each individual storynote With a few exceptions, such as "Kitty and the Kong"., the show's name seems to be a pun on the then-recent Showtime series Faerie Tale Theatre. (It helps its case that the prior show was sometimes referred to as Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, after its creator/presenter/sometimes actress.) | |

The Teaser | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_6e8b95dc | comment |
The Teaser: The show has these before the opening sequence.note Two other CBS shows that season also did this: Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, and Popeye and Son. Additionally, in most episodes, there's a prologue of what the characters are doing before the show starts. These actions will be used or mentioned in the play. For example, in "KT", some of the cast members were eating cookies that were meant for the show. Grandpa Kitty had to replace them with wooden replacements, but Sam later spit them out, saying they taste like wood. | |

| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: Kong lives by the ending of "Kitty and the Kong." In the original King Kong (1933), he falls to his death from the Empire State building. Being a Composite Character this time, the Wicked Witch in "The Wizard of Paws" gets two. She's initially crushed by the house, but survives with a brief Squashed Flat effect, and later on rather than melting to death at the end, she's punished by getting turned into a frog. Nobody dies in the "Jaws" parody. (Except for maybe the people on the carousel). | |

Adaptational Nice Girl: The mother duck in The Ugly Duckling was neglectful if not outright abusive toward the eponymous Ugly Duckling. Fangola meanwhile portrays the mother duck in "The Ugly Quackling" as, at worst, somewhat exasperated toward "Ugly" (portrayed by Chip) for his clumsiness, but otherwise treats him with mostly the same love and attention as her other hatchlings. | |

Ridiculously Alive Undead | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_991a3be9 | comment |
Ridiculously Alive Undead: In "Catula", the titular Catula (played by Catnip) goes around stealing the townspeople's milk cartons with the intent to drink from them. She's still seen as a serious threat. | |

You Don't Look Like You | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_a4e3759e | comment |
You Don't Look Like You: Chip is from Tuxedo Sam's line, but in this show he looks fairly different than he does in most merch (he's blue in most merchandise, grey in this cartoon, among other traits). In the series, he's the same size as Tuxedo Sam, Hello Kitty, and My Melody compared to his official design where he's notably shorter then Tuxedo Sam.◊ | |

Ascended Extra: While Tuxedo Sam was already prominently used by Sanrio between the late 1970s and 1990s, in this show, Sam alongside his friend Chip are the main characters alongside Hello Kitty and My Melody. Since the show's cancellation, Tuxedo Sam and Chip both managed to star in a couple OVAs that were part of Sanrio's home video series called Sanrio Video and both served as MC for Sanrio Anime Festival between 1989 and 1996 similar to Furry Tale Theater. Since the introduction of Keroppi and Badtz-Maru, Tuxedo Sam was demoted to a minor character before given a prominent role once again for Sanrio's music group "Hapidanbui" in 2021. Where he alongside Badtz-Maru, Keroppi, Pekkle, Hangyodon, and Pochacco are band members. Chip from the Tuxedo Sam line is usually a supporting character in numerous Sanrio merchandise and animated media while usually a minor character elsewhere. In Furry Tale Theater, he's one of the show's leading characters alongside Hello Kitty, Tuxedo Sam, and My Melody. To date, this is the only Sanrio animated work where Chip is given a prominent role before Keroppi and Badtz-Maru were introduced (the former created a year after this show's cancellation) with both characters taking over Tuxedo Sam and Chip's roles as Sanrio's leading characters. | |

Truer to the Text | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_b552b24 | comment |
In "Kitty and the Beast" Sam is transformed into a beast by an evil witch rather than a fairy to teach him a lesson, however this leans more towards Truer to the Text than Adaptational Villainy when reading the original tale. | |

Compressed Adaptation | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_bdc94cd9 | comment |
Compressed Adaptation: The episodes that parody movies (such as "Paws" and "KT, the Kitty-Terrestrial") have to shrink a LOT to fit the plots into an 11-minute cartoon short. "Cat Wars" in particular has elements from the first two Star Wars movies crammed into a very short space. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Done quite a lot even if it does avert the Sweet Dreams Fuel-flavoring Sanrio is known for. Particularly a parody of Jaws where nobody dies (unless you count some poor people on a carousel). | |

Anchovies Are Abhorrent | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_d16786a8 | comment |
Anchovies Are Abhorrent: In "Kittylocks and the Three Bears," Kittylocks rejects Mama Bear's pizza not for being too cold, but because it has anchovies on it. This despite telling Ranger Sam earlier that she loves fish—anchovies are apparently just so bad, even a cat doesn't want them! | |

Family-Friendly Firearms Throughout “Little Red Bunny Hood” water balloons are the primary weapons instead of guns. In “Peter Penguin” the pirates use cherry pies instead of cannons. | |

Composite Character | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_e4965307 | comment |
Being a Composite Character this time, the Wicked Witch in "The Wizard of Paws" gets two. She's initially crushed by the house, but survives with a brief Squashed Flat effect, and later on rather than melting to death at the end, she's punished by getting turned into a frog. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While not an evil character, per se, Catnip is generally antagonistic and snide. Cue her surprise as to why Hello Kitty would prepare her a sandwich with her favorite ingredients, and then commenting that the suggestion to be nice like her is a "strange idea". | |
