âBarney & Friendsâ was all about the music. Barney and the kids on the show would learn about everything through song. The people behind Barneyâs tunes had to make sure toddlers could easily understand what they were hearing â that meant songs had to be active, repetitive, and simple. But those same ingredients? They made some parents cringe. For a lot of them, the songs felt like torture.

On âBarney & Friends,â Barney starts off as a plush toy and then comes to life. That iconic stuffed animal wasnât just on the small screen; it was in the homes of children around the world. Merchandise was a huge part of the showâs success. But âBarney & Friendsâ wasnât the first movie or TV show to connect with fans through merch. That dates back a long time â and has a history that includes He-Man, Ronald Reagan, and George Lucas.

Kids all over the world loved Barney. But even though Barney loved everybody, not everybody loved him back. Some parents found the character pretty annoying. Other grown-ups took things a step further. In some cases, the Barney backlash even got violent. That extreme reaction from adults? It can tell us a bit about our culture today â and how much our identities can get wrapped up in the things we love and hate.

For years, two men brought Barney to life. One was the voice, one was the body, and together they entertained kids around the world. Bob West and David Joyner created an iconic character in Barney, from the goofy laugh to those gravity-defying jumps. Just like the character meant so much to many of us, Barney meant a lot to Bob and David, too.

In the 90s, preschoolers went nuts for âBarney & Friendsâ â and thatâs kind of by design. The people behind the show put a lot of thought into every detail, from the word choices in scripts to the behaviors Barney modeled. Barney spoke to kids in a language they could understand. And those little ones? They were also central to the creation, and evolution, of the show.
