August 31, 2003/Happy Birthday Hamtaro Special!

"Happy Birthday Hamtaro Special!" is a special episode of Hamtaro.
This special is a combination of two Japanese OVAs. For simplicity's sake it will be counted as an hour-long special.
This episode began with both theme songs on Cartoon Network. On YTV in Canada, the special opened with the first title card before cutting to the second theme song ("H-A-M-T-A-R-O"). However, Cartoon Network usually had a habit of replacing that theme song with the first theme song ("It's Hamtaro Time") during regular airings of Season 2 episodes. However, likely due to the placement of the title card, Cartoon Network accidentally started the special with "It's Hamtaro Time" before cutting to the title card and continuing with "H-A-M-T-A-R-O".
