It deviates from the original series and its sequel, Barbapapa Around the World's five-minute episode format by extending the length of each episode to eleven minutes, which allows for more involved episode plots with more storytelling.
Premise
Barbapapa: One Big Happy Family! focuses on the daily lives of the members of the Barbapapa family (Barbapapa, Barbamama, and their seven children; Barbabravo, Barbabright, Barbabeau, Barbabelle, Barbalala, Barbalib, and Barbazoo), a group of shapeshifting blobs. Most of the episodes involve the family getting themselves into extraordinary and often humorous situations, such as building a rocket to Mars or the children trying to hide a pet elephant they found in the wild from their parents.
Each episode features a teachable moral that the characters learn from while on their adventures.

Broadcast
Barbapapa: One Big Happy Family! was first announced in 2018 via a Nickelodeon press release,[3] and began broadcasting in its native France beginning November 10, 2019 on TF1, as part of the TFOU programming block for children.[4][5]
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Barbapapa franchise as a whole, the series was released worldwide on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels in over 100 territories throughout late 2020 and early 2021.[6] This allowed for the series to be dubbed into a wide variety of languages, including some which the original Barbapapa series and Around the World have never been dubbed into before. The first countries to premiere the series outside of France were Italy,[7] Germany and Austria.[8]
Despite the English dub being produced in the United Kingdom, the series did not air on British television until July 10, 2021.[9] The English dub also airs in Australia and New Zealand, as well as via secondary audio tracks in Italy, Germany, Austria and on Nick Jr.'s Global feed.
Yle TV2 in Finland premiered the series on January 1, 2021[10] as part of the Pikku Kakkonen programming block for children, making it the first non-Nickelodeon channel outside of the French-speaking world to air the series.
Notes
- In season 2, the series becomes a musical, with at least one song being featured in half of the episodes. While it did have the occasional song in the season prior, they weren't as prevalent as they appear in the second season.
- The four-part season premiere aired slightly out of order on TF1. The episode "The Reveal" takes place after the episode "The Birth of Barbapapa". These episodes aired in their intended order worldwide, including Switzerland.
