Merry Christmas everyone! (Patreon)

Today is a special day for kids all around the world, excited to unwrap their gifts from Santa.

But Santa does not only care for the kids, and you are all in the good list too!

Your gift is... A revamp of the third hamtaro movie!

This revamp is massive. Just like with the second movie, we got hold of a subtitle file with hiragana for the whole movie, and that helped us offer a way better translation than we could have dream of.

Pretty much every sentence of this movie has been revamped in some way or another, a good chunk of them has been changed completely. Since the first revamp of this movie was made 10 years ago (the first version of the movie dates from July 2011 to celebrate Bijou's birthday, and the first revamp was released on New Year's Eve 2013), we can only encourage you to watch it again because it's a completely new experience!

For the team this movie is very special, specially for André, as it was the main motivation fueling him to devote to Hamtaro and search for the, back then, rare movies... which led to all of these years of Ham Ham Paradise and Paradise Hamsubs existence.

Going back to the movie, as we mentioned, the changes are so big it makes us a little embarassed that we even dared to release the previous versions, as they're terrible. Back then we were amateurs and frankly, the movie does have a lot of sentences that are incredibly hard to grasp, we had trouble even with the hiragana on our hands!

But the results now are something that make us proud. 

Due to time constraints, we have not updated the old karaoke effects (albeit they're not terrible, they could have been improved a little with new effects), but we have fixed a few karaoke lines, made the font more readable, and overall improved the timing. Luckily, back then we already did our best and created really cool effects for most songs, so that was a time-saver!

This year has flown by and we have little Hamtaro left to work on, but we can still revisit some of the old stuff that can use an improvement like this movie, and we hope you enjoy it.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you! Enjoy this time with your family and friends and enjoy a little by yourself with Hamtaro and friends too.

Please enjoy!
