CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ BABAR: THE CLASSIC SERIES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON Review & Giveaway!!
Posted on July 1st, 2012 by roxxyroller in CoolCanucks Blog Contest, Giveaways Canada.
While 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 absolutely millions around the globe. The story of the little elephant that 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”.
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!”
Babar is a young little elephant who undergoes many challenges and adventures. However, Babar always finds the strength to rise above difficulty and search out every cloud’s silver lining. Babar is crowned king of the elephants, plans and builds Celesteville, and becomes a daddy himself. And he learns the greatest lesson of all: despite life’s challenges, great things are possible if one never gets discouraged. As a young boy, Babar witnesses the slaughter of his mother by a hunter and flees from the Great Forest to the city, where he is cared for by a very sweet Old Lady. Babar learns the workings of the world and returns to elephant land full of ideas for progress in his land. The elephant elders see that Babar has become wise beyond his years and crown him as the New King of elephant land!!
We were tickled pink when we found out that we were to going to review BABAR: THE CLASSIC SERIES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON on DVD. The children spent literally hours watching this DVD and enjoyed every minute of it!
Entertainment One (eOne) is one of the largest music and video distribution companies in Canada! They were so kind providing me with BaBar, the complete first season on DVD. I also was able to watch a lot of this DVD, and I personally loved it just as much as the kids! Note of Warning: The first episode of Babar contains a representation of death that may disturb some sensitive younger viewers, although it didn’t even don on the kids here!
Treat your entire family to these timeless BaBar stories that have enchanted, entertained and informed generations of children from all over the world!
These are great DVD’s for bedtime, playtime, or even quiet time! {There is such a thing when these are in the DVD Player, believe me!}
These beautiful and faithfully animated stories bring out the magic of the greatest children’s literature to life!
BaBar was certainly welcomed into our household, and has created wonderful memories for years to come!
I give this Season One a huge thumbs up, and the kidlets can hardly wait for me to order the corresponding BaBar DVD’s!
