When the name Sanrio is mentioned, several things come to mind: Hello Kitty, Aggretsuko, Badtz-Maru, and many more cute & safe characters and the cartoons/products that feature them. Would you believe that there was a time when Sanrio made both animated and live-action films that serious edgy stories such as a Hatfield-McCoy-style war between fire and water people, a unicorn that makes other people happy but can never have that for himself, a lamb whose life is destroyed by nature, and even an Academy Award-winning documentary about a family that adopted 14 kids? Join Matthew Geoffino as he takes you through an oft-forgotten period of Sanrio’s history in “The Sanrio You Never Knew.”
