Trivia

• This dub is based on the 2006 Italian version, as evidenced by how it uses the standard Italian intro (subtitled in Albanian), and when the show airs on Bang Bang and Çufo, the alternate audio track is in Italian.
• The intro in question leaves out Barbalib in the roll call, which also coincidentally happened in the American English Centauro dub (except no name is repeated).
• The title of the dub was (hilariously) translated as "The Bearded People". This is because the term "Barbapapa" originally came from the French word for cotton candy, "barbe à papa" (and "barbe" means beard).
• Season 1 was not dubbed: instead, the dub begins at season 2. This explains why the Barbapapas all have individual voices, as opposed to all being voiced by the narrator.
• This dub inserts its own episode title text at the beginning of each episode.
• The footage of the dub was originally produced in the 4:3 aspect ratio. However, when aired on Bang Bang and Çufo the footage is stretched to fit the 16:9 format of the channels.
• This dub is produced by "Jess" Discographic, who are known for producing unauthorized dubs, this being one of them. This explains why this dub uses its own background music and sound effects for plenty of scenes.
• This dub has its own set of specified credits, which loop the music featured in the original for as long as needed. These credits change depending on who was featured in the episode, a practice that was more common in earlier dubs produced by "Jess" until sometime in the 2010's, where later dubs would just credit the studio itself and nothing else.
• Barbazoo was voiced by a woman, Suela Xhonuzi.
• Fatjon Leka was the video editor for the first 10 episodes, before being replaced by Aldo Ziko. Because of this, the intro slightly changed, such as the subtitle text accidently adding an extra space after the "Mjekër" part of Barbabright's name, spelling Barbabelle's name without a colon ("Mjekërbukura"), and spelling Barbabeau's name as "Mjekër-Mjekra" instead of "Mjekër-Mjekri". Though most notably, the title reading "Mjekëroshët" fades in differently.
