This post is part of Debutniverse, a series where I watch just the first episode of various cartoons.
First episode title: Babar's First Step
How familiar with the show am I?: I was vaguely aware of it.
So I may or may not have already mentioned why I started doing Debutniverse. The inspiration came while having compilations of old cartoon TV theme songs (like these) playing while I worked. I loved the nostalgia hit I was getting, even from the shows I didn't already know about just because of the styles, and decided I wanted more of that. So, even though I only vaguely knew about Babar, I've seen the opening a couple of times already, and I made some assumptions about what the show might be like as a result.
This show... is not what I was expecting.
