Babar - The Classic Series - The Complete First Season Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

Earlier this month, a classic series was released to DVD.  Babar, our favorite elephant is back in The Complete First Season of The Classic Series Babar!  All of the kids love the Disney Junior program:  Babar and the Adventures of Badou, so they were thrilled when I popped in this DVD of the classic series of Babar, which originally aired in 1989 on HBO.  This DVD includes the very first 13 episodes of the series.  I just love the message that Babar sends to our kiddos.  When challenges get in his way, which they often do, he tries to overcome them and not get discouraged.  This DVD would be perfect for your classic cartoon collection! 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

First appearing in Histoire de Babar, Jean de Brunhoff’s 1931 storybook classic based on a tale that his wife Cecile had invented for their children, Babar the Elephant has, for 80 years, captivated millions around the globe. The story of the little elephant who leaves the jungle, visits a big city and returns to bring the benefits of civilization to his fellow elephants has been captured in a multitude of best-selling books (tens of million sold worldwide, and more than 1000 titles in print), motion pictures and animated series, including “Classic Babar,” which currently airs on Qubo, as well as a new hit series, “Babar and the Adventures of Badou,” which airs on Disney Junior.

This June, Entertainment One invites families to discover the magical world of de Brunhoff’s elephant king with the debut DVD release of BABAR: THE CLASSIC SERIES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON. Originally seen on HBO, these wonderfully animated stories – 13 episodes in all, perfect for the whole family and never before available together as a complete season – follow Babar, his family and friends undertaking many challenges and adventures, all while teaching the most valuable lesson of all: despite life's challenges, great things are possible if one never gets discouraged. As Babar says, “Long live happiness!”
