Barbapapa (American English, Centauro)

It was produced by Centauro Comunicaciones in, and was released on DVDs in in 2006 to teach Korean children English. This dub was later released on the Korean streaming services Laftel and Naver SeriesOn.

This is the fifth and final English dub of Barbapapa overall; it is also the only dub to cover the entire series, unlike the others which all appear to have stopped at season one.

Clips of the dub can be seen on Centauro's demo reel videos, and a few songs with a cut-off duration each of 30 seconds were uploaded to the official Barbapapa YouTube channel.

Cast
Like the original version of the series, season one only utilizes one voice actor for all characters, while in season two, the characters were all given individual voices performed by various actors. The voice of Barbapapa himself was replaced while the narrator retained his primary role. Nearly the same actors also reprised their roles for Barbapapa Around the World, except for the narrator.

Music
All of the songs were dubbed, and were appropriately used as they were in the original version. They were uploaded to the official Barbapapa YouTube channel, but all of them are shortened to 30 seconds. To this day, the full songs have not seen an official release.

The intro in this dub accidently repeats Barbabelle's name during the roll call, and in exchange leaves out Barbalib's name. It is also the only English dub to do the roll call in the closest way to the original. The subtitles reveal that the role caller was meant to say Barbalib's name at the second time he says Barbabelle's.

The lyrics in these songs are mostly taken from the British versions of them when available. In one of the songs, the British version has a dad telling his kid to grab a hammer and nail and "when [he] nods his head, hit it", and then he says "Owww!", implying that the kid hit the dad's head. However this was changed in Centauro's cover, which has him talking about holding a ladder.

Release
Barbapapa was released on DVDs in } by distributor M&V Media sometime in 2006, only containing an English audio track (with English and Korean subtitles made available) in order to teach Korean people English. Its spin-off, Barbapapa Around the World was released as well on the second sets of these DVDs.

The dub was later released on the Korean streaming service, Laftel on July 25, 2018. It is also available on Naver SeriesOn.
