Barbapapa: One Big Happy Family! (also known as Barbapapa and family!) is the English dub of Barbapapa en famille !. Produced by Jungle Studios in London, England, it first premiered on Nick Jr. in Australia and New Zealand sometime in September 2020.

In Germany and Austria, the dub premiered on November 1 on their respective Nickelodeon channels, via their English audio track. It premiered on Nickelodeon in Southeast Asia on December 12. Two days later, it started airing on Nick Jr. Global. It is also available on Amazon Prime Video.

In the UK and Ireland, the dub eventually premiered on Nick Jr. on July 10, 2021.

It was announced earlier in the show's run that it would air on Nickelodeon in the United States, although this never came to fruition. In late April 2022, the dub was made available on Kidoodle.TV in certain countries, excluding the US.

The second season premiered on Nick Jr. Commercial Light on May 26, 2024, and premiered the following day on the Global feed.

Episodes

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the first few episodes premiered separately as two segments, on Saturdays and Sundays respectively, and then later re-aired as one episode. For simplicity reasons, this section will use the intended order for the episode numbers, as this was also how the dub was broadcast on various Nickelodeon channels.

The first season premiered sometime in September 2020 on the Australian feed of Nick Jr. As these air dates are not known, the page will use the air dates from Nick Jr. Commercial Light (and later Nick Jr. Global in season 2), which followed two months after.

Dubbing credits

Notes

• Unlike the previous Barbapapa English dubs, the Barbababies here are all voiced by children, nearly all of whom don't have much of an online presence, if at all. In the original French version, they are all voiced by adult women.
• The role of Barbabravo and the name of the child actor voicing the character were omitted in error from the list of credits when the English dub was first released (error confirmed by the production). However, this was not fixed for the broadcast in the United Kingdom and Ireland, which could mean they weren't able to fix the error before it hit British airwaves.
• For some reason, the voice actor for the narrator isn't credited. It is highly possible that the voice actor for Barbapapa (Oliver Britten) also voiced the narrator, but that has not yet been confirmed.
• The transformation phrase that the Barbapapas say when they shapeshift has been translated here as "Click clack click, Barba-trick!". In the British English dub of the original series, it was "All change", and in the Canadian English dub it was "Clickety-click, Barbatrick!".
• Some minor changes were made for this dub that differ from the original French version. The changes are either partially or fully kept in some dubs that used this dub as a base.
  • When the Barbababies sing the Bus Song in "The Barbapapa Tree", there is originally a note at the end of the song, but in the dub the note is completely dropped.
  • In "Barba-martians", when Boom-Mimi introduces herself, she originally has a robotic "wahh" sound at the second "mi". In the dub, she says her name regularly.
  • In "Making Bread", Barbalib sings a French folk song, "Maman les p'tits bateaux", with an instrumental playing in the background. In English however, she sings "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" with no instrumental.
  • During Barbabelle's song in "The Grass Is Always Greener", everytime she says "cause I'm so fancy", background singers are meant to sing a line. However, this is dropped in the English version, and only Barbabelle is singing in it.
• The season 2 episode title "Barbidur’s Odyssey" mistakenly uses the French name Barbidur instead of the English name Barbabravo.
  • The press title, Barbabeau’s Adventure, is also incorrect, as the original episode's title in French translates to "Barbabravo's Odyssey", revolving around Barbabravo, not Barbabeau.
