He's the son of the creators. His dad died really young from TB, so he took over the series about ten years after his dad's death. The dad based the books on stories the mom would tell the kids. The ones after the war are from the son.
> The book is based on a tale that Brunhoff's wife, Cécile, had invented for their children.[2] It tells of a young African elephant, named Babar, whose mother is killed by a big game hunter. Babar escapes, and in the process leaves the jungle in exile, visits Paris, and returns to bring the benefits of civilization to his fellow elephants. Just as he returns to his community of elephants, their king tragically dies from eating a poisonous mushroom. Because of his travels and civilization, Babar is chosen king of the elephant kingdom. He marries his cousin, Celeste (French: Céleste), and they subsequently have children and teach them valuable lessons.
Him being still alive probably spared him from cancel culture. At the rate things are going expect Babar to be censored or attacked within the next five years.
Yeah, I don't get why people here are being all shitty about this. It had a much more interesting narrative than most cartoons, and always felt much closer to anime than most of what would get put on TV in that sense. Given the age range it was aimed at, it's higher quality than most of what would be directed at such children otherwise.

Babar is pretty shitty, tbh. I rewatched a couple of episodes a little while ago for nostalgia's sake and was surprised to find it totally sucks.
I watched the cartoons back when I was young. It was very nice.
i still have my babar toy. what a sad thing

So it's just a fricking book about an elephant that wears pants? Where's the hook.
It's about French colonialism in Africa and how a it was good for them.
It was about an elephant that wears pants.
Yes, while ruling with an Iron Fist over the natives in an attempt to bring civilization to a god forsaken wasteland.
