Babar and the Adventures of Badou

I loved this show so much. I watched this Babar series since I was 12 and I'm 16 and I'm still watching this series to this day When I found out that Gordon Pinsent the Voice of Babar the Elephant and Laurent de Brunhoff the author of Babar died, I was devistated and it hit me hard.

I loved the Babar series in 1989 and in 2010 and my favorite part of this series is about the adventures they've went over the years We got to see the Birth of the king to having a grandson who is the future king of celesteville I wished they could make more Babar movies if they had the chance

The Babar Series will always be part of my childhood

RIP to Gordon Pinsent and Laurent de Brunhoff for they will be remembered as Babar Legends.

Both my boys -- they are five and seven -- love Babar and the Adventures of Badou. It's cleverly written and one of those animated shows that parents can watch with their kids... without wanting to pull out their own hair! A pleasant departure from some of the shows the kids watch...

Stories are sweet without being saccharine, and the overall look is bright and beautiful.

Kids particularly like the character of Jake, especially the episode they refer to as "the stinky one" where Jake refuses to take a bath. It doesn't hurt that my oldest son is named Jake. Now I remind him of Babar and the Adventures of Badou when I'm trying to get him into the tub!

Whenever I see a reboot of one of my favorite cartoons, I've always feel doubtful if it has the charm of the original. But Badou, is an exception. Though the CGI could surprise some and the lack of some beloved ones as well (such as Madame). But the increase of new ones as well as it's quirky humor redeems it. It's a reboot that I recommend very much. It has the same charm as the original.

I watch this show with my 5-year-old daughter and we both love it. The CG animation is beautiful-- very colorful and clear. So, to start, it is interesting visually. The stories have the right amount of adventure, humor and lessons. It is nice to see grandparents (in this case, King Babar) portrayed as wise yet "cool." He is not bumbling or stupid or out of it. Babar is clearly friends with his grandson Badou and with Badou's friends. The monkey is particularly funny and the porcupine also is funny. The teacher, Miss Stritch, is one of my own favorite characters. She's loving, a bit ditzy, but always manages to impart a useful lesson.

It's one of the few children's TV shows that I can actually sit through and enjoy. So many are downright boring or stupid. I highly recommend this!

Visually it looks like a lot of other cheap quality looking shows that are on. It has no real visual appear at all, there is nothing that grabs you about it. Just cheap looking computer animation. My son doesn't seem interested in it at all. The word "tusk-tastic" forced into every other sentence is distracting and annoying. We usually will change the channel when this one comes on. There isn't really much in the way of learning anything from this show either, it's pretty basic and not very engaging for kids. It's kind of a shame because I remember the Babar cartoons from when I was a kid and they were actually pretty interesting and well done. This show just seems poorly made on someone's computer.
