Barbapapa is the Hungarian dub of the show of the same name. It premiered on M1 on February 1, 1976. It aired occasionally on Sunday evenings until later that same year. After a four year hiatus, it came back on December 24, 1980, airing Sunday evenings until April 5, 1981.

Twelve years later, it returned to M1 again and this time airing from August 10, 1993 until July 4, 1996.

Notes[]

  • The theme song to the series has a remade instrumental in this dub. The intro also has no role-call part, having lyrics structured differently than other versions.
    • The theme song is also being sung by a Hungarian choir of children.
  • The phrase that the Barbapapas say while they shapeshift, "Hup hup hup, Barbatruc !", remains untranslated.
  • This is one of a few dubs of the first season to feature individual voices for the characters, although the voice cast is limited between two actors.
