"Happy Birthday, Barney!" is the twelfth episode from the first season of Barney & Friends.

Plot[]

After singing "There Are Seven Days", the kids find out that it's Barney's birthday, and he's turning two hundred million-years-old, or two dinosaur years. Everyone then plans a special birthday party for Barney, with songs, games, decorations, and of course, cake. Min and Tina also take time to explain how birthdays are respectively celebrated in Mexico and The Philippines, and they sing birthday songs from both places. After giving Barney her teddy bear, Kathy learns that presents aren't the most important thing of a birthday; it's the thought that counts. Barney makes a special birthday wish for all his friends to join him at the birthday party, and of course, it comes true. Everyone ends by singing "I Love You", and they continue to celebrate from there.

Release[]

International edits[]

  • In the Israeli co-production of Barney & Friends, Hachaverim Shel Barney, Baby Bop was seen standing in the classroom corner before she was supposed to magically arrive. And in the end of that version, the frame doesn't freeze.
  • Although the song, "Hey, Hey, Our Friends Are Here", appeared as an underscore when the balloons dropped, it was not sung in either the Spanish or the Hebrew version of this episode. The song, "Frosting the Cake", was not sung in the Israeli version either, although it appeared as an underscore when the birthday cake that has decorated came to life.
  • Also, the Spanish version excludes Min's Filipino birthday song and Tina's explanation on what "Feliz cumpleaños" means (since this was being dubbed in Spanish to begin with). Instead, Tina says, "Feliz cumpleaños, Barney." and it cuts to the cake scene.

Home media[]

This episode was released on VHS as Barney's Birthday on September 2, 1992.

Trivia[]

  • This episode marked:
    • The second time Barney does not change back into a doll after Waiting for Santa.
    • The second time Baby Bop magically appears.
    • The second time Tina sings the first verse of "I Love You" by herself after Barney Goes To School.
  • This episode is revealed that Barney is now two hundred million-years-old (two dinosaur years).
  • When this episode aired, the Barney Fan Club gave members the chance to send in birthday cards for Barney via Fan Mail.
  • This episode contains the whole children's cast from season 1, as Tosha is the only exception, as she joined the cast after this episode was filmed.

Barney Theme Song[]

  • A promo shot of the cast hugging Barney in the second-to-last scene is shown during the "Barney Theme Song" until Tosha joined the cast where it was changed. This is notable to this episode as Michael, Luci, Tina, Derek, Kathy, Min, and Shawn are wearing the same outfits from this episode in the promo. This means that this ending promo was shot during the filming of this episode.
