Barbapapa (American English, Centauro)

Barbapapa is one of two dubs of the 1974 TV series of the same name, and is one of five  dubs overall. It was produced by Centauro Group in, and was released on DVDs in South Korea in 2006 to teach Korean children English. It is the second dub made for the series, and the fifth English dub overall. Like the original, a narrator did the voices for every character in season one, while in season two the characters all have individual voices.

Clips of the dub can be seen on Centauro's demo reel videos.

Cast
Like the original version of the series, season one only utilizes one voice actor. In season two, the characters were all given individual voices performed by various actors, and the voice of Barbapapa himself was replaced while the narrator retained his primary role. Nearly the same actors also reprised their roles for Barbapapa Around the World, except for the narrator, who was replaced by a female narrator in that series. It is not known who all of these actors are.

The only voice actors who have revealed that they've voice acted on this dub is Kian B. Fan (though according to him, his role was so minor that he did not know whoever he was voicing, and Centauro would not tell him) and Kais Kappler, who was the female singer of all the songs.

Crew
The dubbing studio for this dub was Centauro Comunicaciones, recorded in Miami, Florida, U.S.

Translations
The transformation phrase that the Barbapapas say when they shapeshift was simply translated as "Barbatrick!".

Episode Guide
Every volume goes in a pattern of eight episodes, then seven episodes (with the exception of the final volume, lasting only two episodes coupled with Barbapapa Around the World segments); totalling 14 volumes.

Song Guide
All of the songs were dubbed, and were appropriately used as they were in the original version. They were uploaded to the official Barbapapa YouTube channel, but all of them are shortened to 30 seconds. To this day, the full songs have not seen an official release.

The intro in this dub accidently repeats Barbabelle's name during the roll call, and in exchange leaves out Barbalib's name. It is also the only English dub to do the roll call in the closest way to the original. The subtitles reveal that the role caller was meant to say Barbalib's name at the second time he says Barbabelle's.

The lyrics in these songs are mostly taken from the British versions of them when available. In one of the songs, the British version has a dad telling his kid to grab a hammer and nail and "when [he] nods his head, hit it", and then he says "Owww!", implying that the kid hit the dad's head. However this was changed in Centauro's cover, which has him talking about holding a ladder.
