    A nice kids show

    I only saw this a few times but even so, I enjoyed it. It's calm, patient, and heartfelt in how it teaches life lessons. The characters are fun to watch particularly Babar's kids. They're not annoying at all. Their adventures are genuinely interesting.

    As for the title character himself, there's nothing about him that won't stop you from disliking him. He doesn't have a bad bone in his body at all. Whether you read the book or not, this's sure to entertain you and your kids. Check it out.

    An Excellent Canadian Hand-Drawn Animated TV Series adaptation of the French Children's Storybook Series

    I find this Canadian hand-drawn animated series is based on the French Children's storybook franchise is very good, Because it is very nostalgic, clever and strong writing, and it teaches a very good life lessons. It has Likeable Characters are Babar, Celeste, Arthur, Cornelius and Pompadour The Elephants, Zephir The Monkey, Madame/The Old Lady The Kind-Hearted Human, The Anti-Villainous Rhinoceros King called Lord Rataxes, His wife Lady Rataxes, His competent assistant Basil and his son Victor. But only one intentionally and purposely Hateable character is the cruel animal killer is The Hunter. I'm giving this animated series a 10/10.

    One of the loveliest animated TV series of all time

    "Babar" is one of the sweetest and most innocent childish TV shows ever made. It is one of many animated TV shows I grew up with. Those stories with that affectionate elephant family are something I always found heartwarming. I used to watch this many times in the good old days.

    "Babar" also happens to be very educative and moral, teaching valuable lessons for children, as well as good morals and values.

    But times have changed very much. This generation doesn't have shows like this anymore. Instead, children of nowadays watch mostly crappy cartoons with violence, crappy humor, too much noise, dreadful artwork and absolutely no interest, not to mention that they don't teach anything worthy or useful for children.

    Overall, "Babar" is one of the best "babyish" animated TV shows.

    The Show is Amazing But At The Same Time Kind of Boring.

    The show isn't as bad as generationofswine's review claim it is. He believes that if a show doesn't entertain to him it should get a one and he's comparing Babar to sitcoms just because it teaches people lesson's and aside from that Babar is nothing like a sitcom in any way and probably better than sitcoms. He's extremally bias so I suggest don't read his reviews. The show has very amazing writing, characters, and stories and theirs character development and it never talks down on kids like many other kid shows tend to do. But it can get boring for kids and even adults due to it being less cartoony than the average cartoon. Aside from that I highly recommend watching this its amazing.

    Cool elephant

    I was not a big fan of the books or TV show. I did see a few episodes and it was okay.

    Babar had a more slow mellow feeling to it. That's probably why it didn't engage me too well.

    Nevertheless, Babar is an iCONIC children show of the 90s. I was not a huge fan, still Babar being a chilled character with mild violence was pretty Gold.

    What can be learned? Lions are not the only kings.

    Verdict: No pink Elephant in this one. Just elephants in dresses. Will you notice?
