"What's That Shadow?" is the eleventh episode of the first season of Barney & Friends.

Plot[]

A thunderstorm! Lightning! Thunder! Just the kind of little frights that don't seem so little to kids. But with Barney there, those fears can be turned into fun and games. There's a "scariest shadow" contest that shows just how scary some pretty silly things can be. Paper plates and cups magically become not-so-spooky monster masks. And a puppet show is a kid-sized parable on how not to fear a trip to the doctor's office. Sirens, beasts under the bed, the dark - it's amazing how a purple dinosaur can make some of the most dreadful things seem not so scary! And Shawn must overcome his past trauma with dogs so he can meet Min's puppy.

Trivia[]

  • Moral: Some things that seem scary at first often turn out to not be that way in the end.
  • This episode marked:
    • The first time Baby Bop is around during "The Barney Bag".
    • The only appearance of Min's sister, who appears at the end of this episode.
    • The second time Baby Bop is not seen leaving when Barney transformed back into a doll, the first time being "My Family's Just Right For Me". Since she was there while Min and Shawn were leaving, it's possible that she of might have left off-screen while Barney turning back into a doll.
  • "Ride of the Valkyries" from Die Walkure is played when Barney and the kids make their own storm.
  • Kathy claims that her family has a cat named Fluffy during a story she tells with Baby Bop. However, it is later stated in "Our Furry Feathered Fishy Friends" that she cannot have a cat both because her apartment building does not allow cats or dogs and because her grandmother is allergic. This may be an error on the writers' part.
