Producer, director
Format: animated series (52 x 2')
Overview
A crew of conquistadors travels the seas, ready to colonize every piece of land, down to the smallest of pebbles. Alas, their IQs – as pathetic as their loot – will make things seriously harder for them…
Barababor is a funny show about a group of under-skilled conquistadors getting themselves into improbable and crazy situations. Their obsession with colonizing virgin and hostile territories will inevitably lead them to miserable failure! Each episode introduces a situation the crew has to face. It can be, for example, the discovery of an island on the brink of sinking down, a whirlpool in the ocean or a ghost ship.
Each episode will be about how the crew tackles these situations. Usually, they will manage very poorly, either for their well-known incompetence or because of badluck or a bad stroke of fate.
Various information
Production Status: In production
Barababor is more than just a series, it is a cross-platform project comprised of a tv show, a video game and an online community.
The mobile game Barababor is related to the eponymous series. In the game you play the captain of a fleet fighting worldwide players during naval combats! With the cross-platform formats, it will be possible to follow the crew’s adventures throughout the series, become a captain in the video game or continuously follow the last Burger Archipelago news on social networks. These different platforms will be linked to each others, allowing the fans to switch between the three in an immersive and intuitive way.
