BABAR The Classic Series Review & Giveaway



I remember reading the classic storybook, Babar the Elephant, by Jean de Brunhoff, when I was little, and I have read it to my son as well. I was excited to see that they had made a television series out of this delightful and entertaining, as well as educational story. Now, Entertainment One had brought Babar's magical world to homes with the release of the debut DVD, BABAR: THE CLASSIC SERIES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (originally aired on HBO).
Here is the synopsis of BABAR: THE CLASSIC SERIES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON from the back of the DVD case:

Discover the Magic of BABAR
Long Live Happiness! 

Based on the beloved books by Laurent de Brunhoff, experience the animated story of Babar, a young elephant who becomes king of the jungle. Along the way, Babar and his friends in Celesteville learn family values from their adventures, proving that despite life's challenges, great things are always possible. 

This 2 Disc DVD set contains 13 Digitally Restored & Remastered Classic Episodes, including:

DISC 1
*Babar's First Step
*City Ways
*Babar Returns
*The City of Elephants
*Babar's Triumph
*Babar's Choice
*Race to the Moon

DISC 2
*No Place Like Home
*An Elephant's Best Friend
*The Show Must Go On
*To Duet or Not to Duet
*The Missing Crown Affair
*The Phantom
BABAR: THE CLASSIC SERIES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON is a wonderful addition to our DVD collection. Each episode has the feel of those classic Saturday morning cartoons that I grew up with, but with the entertainment factor that my son enjoyed as well. I found it to be a great way to really introduce children to classic children's stories in a gentle but fun style, and they can learn some invaluable lessons along the way!

I adored Babar as a kid and I used to draw him all of the time so of course Alysia has Babar books. We've never seen the TV series because we don't watch TV (really, not ever - just DVDs); it looks charming though and I would love to show it to her.
