The Barbapapas aren't trying to save the world or learn hard lessons. They exist to show you what happens when a family of shapeshifters just decides to help their neighbors, solve small problems, and enjoy each other without drama. Every episode is permission to stop needing the plot to matter.

A family of shapeshifters returns for another round of cheerful problem-solving and imaginative adventures. The Barbapapas continue using their unique ability to transform into whatever form a situation demands, each family member bringing their own personality to the challenges they face. This second run of short episodes adds 48 new stories to the earlier series, and like its predecessor it draws on the picture books by Annette Tison and Talus Taylor. The show keeps its appeal to young viewers by taking problems small children will recognize and resolving them with gentle humor and a clear moral sense. Colorful, optimistic and unafraid of its own sweetness, it keeps things light and playful from start to finish.
