Hamtaro is an English-language adaptation of the 2000 series Tottoko Hamtaro (Hamtaro the Hamster). With his outsized round head, huge eyes, big ears, and tiny limbs, Hamtaro is another aggressively cute little character in the tradition of Hello Kitty and Pikachu. In “Hamtaro, Please Come Home,” his owner Laura and her parents move into a new house in the suburbs. While they’re unpacking, Hamtaro sneaks out to explore and starts making friends with other hamsters: nervous Oxnard, pushy Boss, and pretty Bijou. (The neighborhood is apparently overrun with the little rodents.) The episodes quickly fall into a pattern: Laura socializes with her new classmates–most of whom also have hamsters–while Hamtaro secretly meets his pals, the Ham-Hams, in their underground clubhouse. Hamtaro is a harmless entertainment for preschoolers, although their older siblings may dismiss it as saccharine and sappy. Unrated: suitable for all ages. –Charles Solomon

My daughter loves these shows and she is slowly collecting all the toys to go with them. This movie has a positive message and super cute. Girls may like it better than boys. The only drawback is the ‘typical’ cheaply produced Japanesse anime so don’t be looking for very rich production values.

As far as cute videos go, this one is the fastest to capture my two-year-old’s heart. She’s glued to the antics of the furry little critters, sings along to the happy theme songs, and loves to hug the plushie that came with her video. The video isn’t at all violent and concentrates on being friendly and helpful, which is great for little ones. This is great entertainment for little kids, with a focus on working together. Good stuff! However, I myself find it a bit too cheerful, though it still has its entertaining parts. Technically speaking, the sound quality is slightly poor, which is why it only got four stars from me

I adored this series as a child. It was my favorite show for a long time,and I was very disappointed when they stopped dubbing it.
This is great for anime fans,children,teenagers,and adults.

And I love hamtaro… I just ordered a hamtaro seed’s patch from amazon today… because i think hamtaro is a fun cute show… It’s not like Dora or Nick Jr. show’s (although i really love ni-hao kailan and wow wow wubbzy) It makes sense it also has funny parts too
