Barbapapa
3 entries in this franchise · chronological
Barbapapa and his family can turn into anything they want. Each member of the family has his or her own personality. Very good show for the youngest children as each episode deals with another problem they will recognise in a way that is 'morally correct'. (Source: Anime News Network)
