Barbapapa and his family can turn into anything they want. Each member of the family has his or her own personality. Very good show for the youngest children as each episode deals with another problem they will recognise in a way that is 'morally correct'.
Barbapapa is Barbamama’s husband and the father of the seven children: Barbabravo, Barbabright,Barbazoo, Barbabeau, Barbabelle, Barbalala and Barbalib.
There is no problem that can‘t be solved by this extraordinary couple! Thanks to a few adequate shape changes and their brilliant imagination, they can bring to an end even the most difficult of problems, and always in the gentlest manner! They are forever willing to offer their friendship and services; and their good faith is beyond question!

Barbabravo is red.
Barbabravo loves sports. He usually likes to be the leader! And he is overly fond of eating!
With his tools of Sherlock Holms (the hat and the magnifying glass) and with the help of his faithful hound Lolita, he tries to act like a great detective.
Barbabravo is sometimes too proud of himself; but he is a good fellow!

Barbazoo is yellow.
He is a specialist of the science of Nature! He knows all about the various animals and plants, the climate and the bad effects of pollution. In one word, he is a distinguished ecologist.
Barbazoo is always ready to help. However his eagerness to protect nature can occasionally lead him to keep his brother Barbabright from trying dangerous experiments.

Barbabelle is violet.
Barbabelle is the most beautiful. (At least it is she who thinks that!) She likes jewelry, and perfumes.
She is very afraid of little hairy creatures like caterpillars and spiders, and she faints when she sees one! Barbabeau finds her foolish fears irritating!

Barbalib is orange.
Barbalib is an intellectual. She is usually deep in her books and she knows the answer to many questions
She can easily take a superior air. Barbotine often disputes with Barbabravo about who is the leader or boss. She can have a difficult character. Her brothers and sisters have to be careful not to walk on her toes! But she has a good sense of humor!

Barbabright is blue.
Barbabright is a scientist. Neither chemistry, astrophysics, nor genetics are a secret to him!
But sometimes his theories carry him too far and the consequences of his hazardous experiments can lead to catastrophic consequences! Happily, his brother Barbazoo, an ecologist, keeps close watch over his activities!

Barbabeau is black.
Barbabeau is hairy. Barbabeau is an artist. Still within the torments of his creativeness, he has not yet found his way through cubism, hyperrealism, surrealism, expressionism or conceptualism!
He is very sensitive! He sometimes gets too quick-tempered with the ironic comments of his sister Barbalib!

Barbalala is green.
Barbalala loves music. She is talented at playing many kinds of instruments. But she is also interested in Botany and ecology like her brother Barbazoo.
Barbalala has a dreamy happy temperment. She almost never gets angry. She has a pacific, calming influence over her brothers and sisters.
