heh wait a minute something confuses me...in an earlier episode he learns to play the piano with madame after he is king of Celesteville....and he could still only play ba ba blacksheep. And only with his trunk. Now he can play this grand peice...with no fingers O.O
@GhostlyAngel Dude! That just occurred to me as well. However, I'd have to say that this is one of the better episodes. I'm kind of embarrassed that this didn't occur to me when I was a kid and it was one of my favourite shows.
LOL watch me be a total dolt and immediately after replying last get it on amazon for ten bucks, having totally forgotten about amazon's existance until then.
Gordon Pinsent is the voice of Babar, I remember. Tara Strong, who does multiple cartoon voices such as Bubbles from the Power Puff Girls, was young celeste. I've looked and I can't find out who wqas the Phantom. But yeah, it does sound a bit like Mars.
Never saw this show as a kid, but I enjoyed watching this upload. I was also intrigued with little Babar's urban exploration of the old music hall. They don't make children shows like this anymore.
Is the music, Babar plays on the piano at the beginning, when Flora and Alexander are arguing, an actuall classical piece, or was it written just for this episode?
For years this would come back to haunt me at bedtime in the old dark house. I used to watch this episode on VHS and boy wasn't it spooky! You see the scary looking abandoned music hall at 3:17, the organ music at 3:43 and the scariest part that still scares me today is those red eyes in the dark.
If there is anyway you could put on an episode of Babar, back when there were issues with the Hunter (I believe there was a big forest fire at one stage) that would be AMAZING! Cheers.
I had the book <3

I love Phantom of the Opera, though.
PUNJAB. Poor Babar was unaware that Erik HATED ELEPHANTS.

Vampire fiction sells better.
And the only Phantom most people remember is Lloyd Webber's phantom. Hence why Phantom of Manhattan is still in bookstores.

By far my favourite episode. I had an odd obsession with Babar when I was younger... named all my toys after the characters. Hehe.
Cheers for these uploads, much appreciated.

Is the guy who does the Phantoms voice the same as Frollo in Disneys Hunchback? And wow.... theres a POTO themed episode of Babar. Just... wow.

I think it's Kenneth Mars or at least someone who sounds like him.
