My Thoughts:
If you follow my blog, then you know that not only am I am fan of of Babar from childhood to now, but now my girls love Babar, too! Can you believe that Babar has been around for over 80 years?
"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."
Just the other day, the folks at Entertainment One released another Babar DVD -- this time the "Babar Adventure Pack" which consists of the following 3 DVDs:
- Babar: The Movie
- Babar: Best Friends Forever
- Babar: School Days

Even though I reviewed the 3 DVDs that make up this new DVD set, I was excited to receive this box set, as I knew it would be a great addition to our car DVD collection, or to leave at Nana and Papa's house. Right now, whenever we go for long car rides or visit and stay with Nana and Papa, I have the girls bring along a few DVDs to watch. Babar is usually one of the DVDs, as are the girls' Babar plush toys that they put in their backpacks or carry with them. :-)
When we received the 3-DVD set the other day, the girls were so excited. You would have thought that they had never seen these movies before! I have lost count on how many times we have watched them. I can tell you that on a few occasions the girls have asked to watch this on our Friday night movie night, and have fallen asleep midway through, leaving my husband and I to finish watching the movies, as they are so enjoyable. If you are a true fan of Babar, then you know why Babar is considered a classic!
Were you a fan of Babar growing up? Or, does your child watch the new Babar on television? Either way, this is one DVD set worth picking and up and watching as a family. And, at under $15.00, you can't go wrong for the price. This would also make for a great end of school gift, or gift to give one of your child's friends for their birthday!
