Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | BABAR is based on the beloved classic books by Laurent de Brunhoff. This animated series focuses on the story of a young orphaned elephant that goes to the big city to learn about the ways of people. He then returns to the jungle where he builds the city of Celesteville and is crowned King of the elephants. A dedicated ruler and father, Babar and his family experience many challenges, but Babar always finds the strength to rise above difficulty through strength and optimism. Each episode begins with a look into Babar's present life, primarily in his role as a father who teaches his children the value of people, things and relationships through his own experience from the jungle to the city and back again. BABAR reinforces pro-social messages that celebrate the bonds of family. |
