History Trivia / Barbapapa

** The original network for the original series in France, ORTF Télévision, shut down in 1975. In the same year, the series resumed on [=TF1=].

* LicensedGame: In October 2001, the 1999 anime ''Barbapapa Around the World'' had a VideoGame on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation that was only released in Japan.

** There's also the [[https://barbapapa.fandom.com/wiki/Barbapapa_Wiki Barbapapa Wiki]] on Fandom.

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: The original series and ''Around the World'' takes this up to eleven and practically gives no credits for the entire series ''at all''.[[note]]For the former, the only "credits" given are in small text of the creators, Taylor and Tison, at the bottom of a still screen of the Barbapapa family with a short reprise of the theme that lasts for 9 seconds. For the latter, Anette Tison is accredited while a cute animation of the family plays over a short 16-second song.[[/note]] Because of this, it was never cleared up or identified who voices any of the Barbapapas in season 2 in its original French.

** The Centauro American English dub was actually this for a while. Despite being officially released on [=DVDs=], unlike the other two English examples, and also later being released on paid streaming services, there was still one problem: all of these options were only exclusive to South Korea. Meaning if you wanted to watch the series in full in English, with no edits, you'd have practically no choice but to use illegally distributed rips from the [=DVDs=] that were only even bought and uncovered by a member of the community in early 2021 (for context, the [=DVDs=] were released in ''2006''). Not helping is that not everyone even knew this dub even existed. It wasn't until November 2022 that episodes of the dub were being made officially available to [=YouTube=], thus ending the journey of this dub on a high note.

** In the [=DVDs=] released in South Korea by [=M&V=] Media, the ''Around the World'' 5-minute segment "High Andes - Black Bear" is missing. When an employee at [=M&V=] was contacted, they had roughly responded that "the quality of the episode was so bad from the first release", indicating that the episode ''was'' dubbed by Centauro, but was purposefully left out of the recent copies, and that earlier releases of the DVDs may have had the episode. The episode was still available on the services Laftel and Naver [=SeriesOn=].

** The Magno American English dub was also rare, as it aired in syndication until 1983 and not much surfaced online, at least until 2017 when a good amount of episodes were uncovered. Legally speaking, it has not been released anywhere.

** There are ''five'' English dubs of the original 70s series. At first, a British English dub premiered in the 70s on BBC ([[KeepCirculatingTheTapes and is the only one that remained lost]]). Few years later, a GagDub was syndicated on many networks in the US that was done by Magno Sound and Video, and a Canadian English dub ran at the same time (which appears to be the most distributed and recognized dub by many growing up in the 80s). The cheapest of all was soon to follow, a dub with limited voice cast and budget that was distributed to DVDs in Japan in 2001; the dub was made to teach Japanese kids English. ''Another'' American English dub by Centauro Group, which would be the last dub produced, was also released on [=DVDs=] in South Korea in 2006, with that same purpose; it is since then streaming on [=YouTube=] as of late 2022.
