Barbapapa: One Big Happy Family! (French: Barbapapa en famille !, lit. "Barbapapa with family!") is a French musical[nb 2] animated children's television series. The series serves as a reboot of the original Barbapapa television series based on the books of the same name by French-American couple Annette Tison and Talus Taylor. The series is a production of Normaal Animation,[1] with the participation of TF1, Nickelodeon, Télé-Québec and RTS.

The show 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] On June 9, 2021, a compilation film consisting of previous episodes called Les Barbapapa se mettent au vert ("The Barbapapas Go Green") was released in French theaters.[6][7] The second season premiered on November 5, 2023.

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.
