Babar is a French-Canadian-American animated television series based on the classic children's book series Babar the Elephant by Jean de Brunhoff. The show follows the adventures of Babar, a young elephant who becomes king of his jungle after his mother is killed by a hunter. Babar learns important life lessons as he navigates his new responsibilities and deals with various challenges that arise, all while maintaining a sense of humor and a positive outlook on life. Originally airing from 1989 to 1991, the show was later revived in 2001 with new episodes.
