Barbapapa (English, 1990)

It is the fourth English dub of the series overall. The dub was first released onto six VHS sets in South Africa in 1990, distributed by The Video Warehouse. Both seasons were dubbed, with the episodes being released sporadically out of order.

The following lists the names of the VHS sets:
 * "The Birth of Barbapapa"
 * "The Voyage of Barbapapa"
 * "Barbapapa's Family"
 * "Barbapapa's Ark"
 * "Barbapapa's Musical Comedy"
 * "The Party"

Later, the same dub was released onto five DVDs and VHSes by Aniplex (a subsidiary company of Sony Music Entertainment) in 2001 in Japan, in order to teach Japanese children English. These sets also include a Japanese and French audio track. The exact date of which these DVDs and VHSes were released is unknown, however a few sources specify different dates; one of them being January 24, 2001 and another being June 20, 2001. They appear to have been released again on November 23, 2005. This release contains episodes from only the first season.

Not much is known about this dub other than how it appears to have used a limited cast of around 3-4 people. The actors in question also often exchange which characters they play at random episodes. It is theorized to have been dubbed in its initial country of release, South Africa. This dub has been criticized by fans of the show for being "cheapily produced". Nearly all of the songs were not dubbed and were left instrumental, with the exception of the opening theme which was dubbed only in the South African release.
