Babar Intro (English)

[MrLexanderluther1986]

It's bad when you come here to enjoy your favorite childhood cartoons, and the extremely relaxing opening theme (haha) and you end up reading things about race and politics. Never fails....you people, NEVER cease to amaze me.

[dolomitesprintdeath]

Ah yes - Babar - you where put on when there was nothing else to put on but i miss you the most!

[Aggelosgreece16]

it was my favorite cartoon!

[deviatea]

shame ppl cant just enjoy it for what is was a cartton for kids, not bring the race thing in.. oh well.

[monzilla22]

I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CANT KEEP MY TEARS? YOU CAN ONLY BEING A KID ONE TIME.

[KSoImJulia]

OMG <3 I literally wanna cry <3 I remember Babar! Tv sucks now! When I saw the NEW VERSION of Babar I was really mad!

[Kaynas1988]

I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK *sighs*

[Bliza139]

It kinda weirds me out though how they use their trunks as like another arm..

[dancelexdance]

My child self is crying from happiness

[xBEDIx]

have you guys seen the new one? it's sooo bad it honestly disgraces the original

[IHeartInuYasha100]

@xBEDIx Yeah I know... The new one is so terrible and most of it doesn't even make sense....

[petster13]

one day i want to hold my baby in my arms listening to this<3

[Klistern2]

Watching this now, something screams bunch of elephants.

[IHeartInuYasha100]

I'm in my second year of university and one day over the summer I had a day where all I did was watch this show and others from my childhood.... And my parents thought I was crazy

[BrynnBilou2000]

I bawled when I heard this. <33

[TheSpyChecker]

it reminds me of the Grace of the fireflies theme. which came first, though.

[squaretrapezoid]

Something about this screams "white supremacy"

[ssokolow]

@squaretrapezoid Perhaps the fact that it's based on a 1930s book series from France? (Keep in mind that, according to one of my business-related textbooks printed in 2009, it's still pretty common for French employers to include euphemisms for "ethnics need not apply" in their job ads)

[SenhorBundy]

@squaretrapezoid

Where'd you get that idea? I watched Babar as a kid back in the early-mid 90s and didn't turn out to be a neo-Nazi...

[squaretrapezoid]

@SenhorBundy White supremacy does not equate to Nazism. The Confederate States of America ring any bells? Possibly Apartheid-era South Africa or Rhodesia?

[SenhorBundy]

@squaretrapezoid

I know there are other forms of white supremacy, but I still don't know how you got the idea of white supremacy from the intro to Babar.

Maybe I should watch it again?

[lmadferitl]

@SenhorBundy

I SAW IT I'MT NOW A NEO-NAZI OBSESIB WITH MENGELE, HEIL HITLER..... COMEON THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INOCENT CARICATURE! THAT'S ROCKS.......

A NEO NAZI CAU'SE I WATCH BABAR!!!!!! OMFG

[VoteUnicorn]

DARREN CRISS LET ME LOVE YOU

[GinaDaBom]

DARREN YOU ARE AMAZING

[randomgal13]

@GinaDaBom YES!!! haha I love how the first comment I see is of someone talking about Darren, just a little while after we saw the pic :P This fandom WINS!

[LittleGhostxxxxxxx]

@randomgal13 how does babar and darren criss relate :o??

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

*collapses from nostalgia attack*

[terralynn9]

I don't remember particularly liking the show, but that song is immediately soothing. I love it.

[EleBrit96]

Daaamn, this video makes me cry. Ahh, goold old memories with good cartoons. Where are these cartoons now? :[

[diegoradoblasio]

@EleBrit96 no matter what happens have faith

[EleBrit96]

@diegoradoblasio True, but having faith that these cartoons will come back it`s pretty impossible.

[psybonchu]

Uncle Arthur!! 

[jxcriot]

Why is there only 1 human?

Are elephants going to take over in the future and turn humans into slaves?

[EleBrit96]

@jxcriot LOL. What the hell? xD

[enormousmaggot]

which soulless MOTHERFUCKERs disliked this.

[PawelK198604]

@enormousmaggot

Could not use profanity, the clip can also watch the kids, think before you publish something like this in the future.

[lellbelle]

The nostalgia is almost unbearable :')

[gasparandrei]

gives me the goosebumps lol :D

[kittykeara1997]

MY CHILDHOOD.

[LordErvinus]

Joder!!!! fui niño!!! wow era uno de mis programas favoritos... y me encantaba el opening... esa musica me llena de melancolia...

[valtis23]

me and my late mother used to watch this im crying as i watch this thinking of those great memories

[YaHoO1283]

@Zomararosa You're joking right ? -.-'



[theAbeElement]

I absolutely love this theme song!

[sailormewprincess]

Good gosh, I remember sitting in a waiting room at a dentist office, and this would be on TV. I'd actually look forward to the dentist, only if this was on the TV.

[Zomararosa]

worst show ever... hated it.

[Klistern2]

what kind of knob try's to raise a political point in the comments of a video that 5 year old children engage in...

[holyhellbombsfromshi]

kick ass tune



[acefrehleylol]

this reminds me on a girl.... ;) <3

[lenzesteb]

Don't cry... don't f*cking cry... T_________T FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

[Beautyific]

@lenzesteb Need a tissue? Gosh knows Ive used 5!

[Nearphotison]

Watching this now, it seems extremely Republican.

[ssokolow]

@Nearphotison It's a faithful adaptation of a series of childrens' books from 1930s France. I'd be more surprised if it WASN'T full of outdated social ideals.

[Nearphotison]

@ssokolow I never said it was surprising, just pointing it out.

It's mostly the fact that there elephants that sells it for me, though.

[Strand0410]

@Nearphotison Because they're all borderline racist/hegemonic? Or because they're GOP elephants.

[PawelK198604]

@Nearphotison

Republican?

Babar is king not a president, so i said is definitely monarchist, not republican

[Nearphotison]

@PawelK198604 *sigh* Nevermind. I had no idea how many ways people could misinterpret such a simple statement.

[PawelK198604]

@Nearphotison

I understand your statement, to the letter. Also allowed myself to a little joke;-)

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

I hope she's got home insurance, that laminate flooring won't last five minutes :') Ah, memories....

[dreamachine88]

How do I download this theme song without all the sound effects? Any suggestions?

[water2hp]

im happy a new babar series has started but in my opinion it fails to have the same mood and music this one had

[DominicSJackson]

I love and remember this well. I also love all the shows of the late 80's and early 90's. Times just were different you know. I remember watching this is english and spanish. Both are good :)

[LittleRachOfSunshine]

I hadn't seen this show in a good 12 years, and I'm 16 now. I heard the theme music and rushed to the TV room to hear it - the theme song was like a long lost memory, the song is so gorgeous, it just brought tears to my eyes :')

[blackbuttonbailey]

@LittleRachOfSunshine Wow no joke you have the same story as me! And I cried too! I love this show!

[kira003030]

It makes me feel like im 10 years Old again. Man those were the days. :)

[Zebonka]

Haha, reminds me of that Indian elephant that went and killed someone last week

[xXxpockyParadoxXx]

this is the most pimp thing i have ever seen

[PhioPL]

Fucking uncle Arthur without tusks, good days.

[MrBinieam]

the 90s cartoon where the best, todays are just so lame. L love Babar!

[Mrdbzlover]

[Wevitox87]

How come todays children do not appreciate this kind of stuff? are they born unsensitive and dumber now? Might souns illy but I did learn so much good stuff from this shows...

[Wevitox87]

The memories from this cartoon makes me feel all snuggly and warm... Loved the show when I was little

[AnnabethChase17]

Every. Single. Freaking. Day. I would watch this before going to school. Every SINLGE day..... I growing up SUCKS

[Hellborndelux]

I love how his crown looks like a shitty paper party hat.

[trentmuch1]

I do not approve of overindulged elephants...

...Now. When I was a kid, I loved it! :P

[purplesmurf85]

oh wow, i loved this when i was very young ... along with hey arthur! i feel old hehe ^_^

[neilam6]

Oh god! such nice music i cant stop crying! happy memories :)

[SissysThumb]

@neilam6 I wish I could "like" that a thousand times.

[teg6900]

How could anyone dislike this video? This music instantely makes me feel better when I hear it...

[lmadferitl]

@teg6900

YEAH MAKE ME REMIND WHEN I WAS A CHILD



[holyknight234]

i especially love the "uncle arthuuuuur" part. it's so....... sweeet.....

[holyknight234]

oh gosh... babar... the intro... it's so... sweet and so warm, it makes my heart so warm and less stressed from all that university finals...

oh thank you thank you so much my good sir.

[bhtrb456546]

OMG...thanks for bringing back memories! ♥

[thesimpsonfan270]

was this show made in the late 80s does anybody know?

[Theowne]

@thesimpsonfan270 ...It was made around 1990. It would continue to be run in the mid 90s in Canada (which is when saw it as a kid).

[thesimpsonfan270]

did this show air in 1989 does anybody know?

[ssokolow]

@thesimpsonfan270 I'm not sure I understand your question. Did you not read the description text for the video? Are you asking for someone else to confirm it? Is there something else I didn't think of?

[tophisto]

definitely this is an intro you can't watch after several years of having it forgotten... unless you want to cry due to nostalgia :'(... i missed babar

[mementomori31]

Human slaves... in an elephant nation ~

[blackhand95]

when i feel sad or depressed i watch this and all my troubles go

[hooty158]

oh childhood memories, i think i'm going to cry :')

[sonic1241]

why don't some of those fancy new networks will do us a favor like bring the old shows

[dennis8333]

diachronic ..........



[LinkDai]

waaaaa lo que veia cuando era tan peque... que no recuerdo haber visto esto alguna vez... si no fuera por mi madre que me decia que me levantaba siempre a verlo...

[Necromortis61]

Is Uncle Arthur a gay sailor? Cause if he is I'd totally hit that.

[tshepp89]

This music makes me feel funny. Like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

[IvanPavlov]

Hahah the archetypical republican family.

[maning04]

this cartoon has so much morale lessons back in the days.. :)

[superflex007]

This cartoon takes you back to a time in your life, where things were alot nicer

[KitFallapart]

@superflex007 Hit the nail on the head there my friend. Agree 100%

[CaptainChocolatte]

Awwww I remember this show... ^__^

[ollisable]

press 6 and you will achieve orgasm

[francoisesays]

I absolutely adore this show to bits! :)

[Agoodsong14]

This reminds me of my tinypop days... which were the best.

[shmuli9]

I remember this cartoon. I wonder if 'the Old Lady' didn't like the company of human men or like 'hot elephant sex' involving trunks in odd places...

[lololsdadsa]

love this song haha.. crazy how time goes by so fast this song reminds me so much of my childhood

[PrayForFuckingPlague]

NOSTALGIA'D HARD

[danmancmufc]

brilliant

[huynherexpress]

I have to be honest... the best part of this show, is the lovely intro theme. It's just so soothing and whimsical.

[superflex007]

@huynherexpress You are sooo right. The intro is so soothing. Right now I have a headache, and just wanted to listen to it.

[MrAussiebloke12345]

I dont know why i clicked on this but i liked it

[Charliebalidownside]

Such magical childhood moments just came rushing back!!!

[Kbillyssupersounds87]

I had no idea that this was a Canadian cartoon.

[YonderRobb]

There is a tv and a dvd-player in the supermarket, and it has a babar dvd in it. It only shows the menu but i always stop there for a minute cause I can listen to the soundtrack!:))) Good old childhood...

[backbeyond]

I was born in FUCKING 1994 and I still remember this Fucking show and fucking intro.

When the fuck did i fucking watch this? holy shit good fucking memories.

[gnarkillkicksass]

@backbeyond Pffft try 1987 and I still make my gf change the channel so I can watch it.

[wallaby9D8]

Nostalgia found in this video. *Realizes how shitty shows are now*.

[Scullnblades]

There was a time when childrens shows were once sweet natured and innocent, without characters being bad influences to kids. And without shows making toilet humour jokes every minute to keep an audience...

Babar was a prime example of a good natured show, along with other shows like Old Bear, Animals of Farthing Wood and Arthur [which is still around

Why must they include soo much rudeness and potty humour into today's childrens shows? Even if it is mild, there is never a moral to the story...

[SpikeTheSenses1]

@Scullnblades I couldn't agree more. Sometimes I feel lost in this society. 

[MrRiffraff84]

Oh, I just felt like being a child again! Thank you so much for uploading this!

And greetings from germany!

[y2johnnie]

everyone is wondering about why the old lady is there....lets first wonder why the elephants (and monkey) are wearing clothes and live in a house lmao but seriously though....i loved this show as a kid.

[xvdepira123]

Reminds me my childhood...

@ AmberPhantom1: That old lady took care of Babar during his childhood after the death of his parents.. I think thats why shes there ( if I am not wrong... lol )

[WhitePurpleDog]

Thumbs up if you think Babar and the Adventures of Badou sucks...

[wallaby9D8]

@WhitePurpleDog No,how about: Thumbs up if WhitePurpleDog sucks. :)

[Martello736]

@wallaby9D8 Or thumbs up if you should stop posting hurtful comments

[wallaby9D8]

@Martello736 No,WhitePurpleDog was bashing this show. I just wanted to teach him a lesson.

[Gettinbuzz]

I loved this when I was little. My mom had to buy them on video for me along with the movie haha. I still have them somewhere

[VirginiaTechSoftWare]

Many Thanx, Jean & Laurent de Brunhoff, for creating this!

[jmuller61]

this is the worst show EVA!

[SWBJACMK]

@jmuller61 Your mom was bad.

WHEN I PUT MY PENIS INSIDE HER.

[Diabetty115]

ahh childhood memories. I've always loved the Babar theme song!

[savannahdewson1]

this show happend to be on tv one day, and i took a look at it. as the theme song played, my 6 kids wandered into the room, and stood mesmerized to the music. their ages range from 13 to 21 and they all seemed to somehow recognize the music. they haven seen this show in close to a decade

[SSTRICK19]

Those were the days.. nothing mattered.. come home from school watch babar, hey arnold, arthur, cat dog, pengu.

[legorocks3]

AAAAAAAAH! THE MEMORIES!

[t190snakecharmer]

this show and the raccoons were my fave when i was like 5

[whispathiz]

[reccaphoenix]

[tatielfa17]

Casi todos en el mundo hemos conocido sus historias.

[Parufe]

Aawww that brings back memories.

[frankii77]

Why is there ONE human?

[ssokolow]

@frankii77 She taught Babar about human society and he invited her to live with them when he became king.

[lanz0r4tehwin]

@ssokolow and here I was thinking she just wanted some elephant dick.

[thejobloshow]

@frankii77 The humans are the slaves to the elephants in this evil planet the Babar series was set.

[Stabesy]

@frankii77 so get back in your box Franky boy

[frankii77]

@Stabesy Frankii girl* and I have already been enlightened by ssokolow to my ignorance.

[AndreLeCoz]

@frankii77 they killed the rest

[Sapphirekiss100]

this show made my childhood miss the 90s soooooo much tears 0x0x0x0x0x0x00x0

[tomtomking2018]

@Sapphirekiss100 they still have this show on a channel called qubo. i think they took it off a month ago

[PrincessRose75]

[snoopy78ify]

This was my brother John's favorite cartoon when he was like 5yrs old. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNN!!!!

[WEEGEEeater]

LETS GO TO BABARS HOUSE...IM NEARL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[breadandbutterr]

Watching this reminds me of childhood- such a happy time that can never be relived.

Your childhood is really such a significant part of your life..

[lakesidepark2112]

the newest one just aired on YTV: Babar & The Adventures of Badou.

[sega31098]

@lakesidepark2112

I know. I see a bunch of hate coming to that series because it's CGI. Personally, I don't care, since I'm glad Babar's franchise isn't being undermilked and left to die like many other franchises like Pogo.

[waterlizardz123]

the Rhinos kicked ass.

[SpikeLee3000]

Goddamn rich elephants!!!

[SweeetLou88]

Best show.... sooo many memories!

[penguinparade99]

OMG! I loved this show, it brings back so many memories :')

[after4ever]

Here, in Portugal, we had the same intro... oh God, it makes me cry!!! Miss those years! :')

[7Kyuubi7]

I used to love this show!

[AstrayxHeartz]

naww this brings back so many memorys

[ChronosFiltro]

Apenas os nerds brasileiros que tem uns 23 anos vão entender esse comentário , mas.......

Quando eu jogo RPG o nome do meu personagem é sempre Babar Wellefanty

[kaifragrance]

Babar! :'(

[Nanodae]

Awww so cute! I remember this :'(

[riddleman65]

why is barbar a child sometimes and then other times he's not

[Sarahadam1]

@riddleman65

Because they are going back to stories of Babar's childhood sometimes.

[sega31098]

I'd start crying of major nostalgia, but Qubo is still airing this.

[octeorrific]

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ELEPHANTS BECAUSE OF BABAR <3

[AnimationDisney]

weird.....Queen Elephant....babar...a whole bunch of little elephants and....and old Lady? ♥ Babar

[Shezzy316]

Can anyone confirm if this is also Chopin's "Relaxation" (title may be incorrect but is marked as such in one of my Chopin CDs) - sounds very similar if not identical!

[AmberPhantom1]

Oh I used to LOVE this show as a kid!!!

But uhmm.... I just realised, why is there some random old lady with a bunch of elephants?

[iIamITheIMaster]

@AmberPhantom1 cos they're not realy elephants, shes just taken so many drugs they look like elephants

[sega31098]

@AmberPhantom1

Same reason why there's a talking dog in Family Guy.

[AndSingForeverToYou]

@AmberPhantom1 There's a whole backstory to how the Old Lady came into Babar's life, I believe she saved him when he was a little elephant...>.> long before he became King.
