* [[Never Say "Die"]]: [[Zig Zagged]]. In early episodes death is discussed and even shown, but after the construction of Celesteville things have become so safe that the worst thing an assassin can be said to have planned for Babar is kidnapping.

* [[Retool]]: The final season of the original series featured a major shift in direction, sending Babar and his family on a hot-air balloon through a number of [[Magical Land|Magical Lands]] including the Land of Toys and the Land of Mysterious Water, journeying for the great Land of Happiness. To signify this, the opening credits sequence was altered for the only time in the show's history and the opening and closing themes were changed to a remixed version of the theme that had previously been used for the closing credits. This version of the program is technically an [[Anime]] - it was made in part by Ellipse Anime and the episodes were written by Japanese writers.

* [[Evil Overlord]]: Lord Rataxes, which is quite surprising considering his character is more complex in the series. He captures elephants from villages, enslaves them, and ultimately tries to conquer their kingdom. (A last-minute ruse from Babar sends him and his rhinos fleeing—quite literally, from his property.)
