Based on the Littlest Pet Shop and Blythe toys owned by Hasbro, the show follows a Blythe Baxter, a teenage girl who, after moving into an apartment in a metropolitan area, gains the ability to communicate with animals. Located below her apartment is the eponymous pet store where Blythe works and talks to a group of pets who regularly reside at a day care in the shop. Worried that a corrupt rival business will drive their shop out of business, the pets depend on Blythe to drive business into the store with her pet fashion designs. Three seasons have aired since the show debuted on November 10, 2012. ''Littlest Pet Shop'' is produced by Hasbro Studios and DHX Media. Animated using Flash, completion of a single episode takes roughly one year, with several in production at once. The show has received mixed reception; it has been criticised for its embedded marketing, while reviewers have given praise to the writing. Several crew members have additionally received accolades for their work on the show. The series is a part of the company's franchise reboot, where Hasbro released a new line of Littlest Pet Shop toys designed to more closely resemble the characters on the show. A mobile game and comic book adaptation were also commissioned. ==Plot and cast== The series follows Blythe Baxter (Ashleigh Ball), a teenage girl living with her father, Roger (Michael Kopsa). Forced to move out from her suburban hometown following her father's promotion, she moves into an apartment located in a crowded city. Their complex is located above the eponymous Littlest Pet Shop—a pet store that also serves as a day camp for numerous pets—where Blythe works as a fashion designer. Her adventure begins when she discovers that she alone can miraculously understand and talk to the pets that regularly stay at the shop, in addition to most other animals on the planet. As she and the pets spend time together, they find the pet shop jeopardized by larger pet store managed by Fisher Biskit (Samuel Vincent) and his snooty twin daughters, Whittany and Brittany Biskit (Shannon Chan-Kent). To avoid being dispersed, the pets convince Blythe to remain an employee. The pets who reside in the day camp of the store are Minka (Kira Tozer), a bouncy spider monkey with a flair for painting and visual arts; Penny Ling (Jocelyne Loewen, Laura Hastlings in song), a sensitive giant panda interested in rhythmic gymnastics; Pepper (Tabitha St. Germain), a skunk interested in comedy; Russell (Vincent), a hedgehog who is often the self-appointed leader of his animal bunkmates; Sunil (Peter New), a mongoose and magician hopeful; Vinnie (Kyle Rideout), a clumsy gecko obsessed with dancing; and Zoe (Nicole Oliver, Kylee Epp in song), a dog whose talent is singing. Other human characters include Mrs. Twombly (Kathleen Barr), owner of the shop and Blythe's boss, and Youngmee Song (Chan-Kent), Sue Patterson (Tozer), and Jasper Jones (Barr), Blythe's schoolmates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Littlest Pet Shop (2012 TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
