Hachaverim Shel Barney (Version 3) (battybarney2014's version)

Hachaverim Shel Barney (Hebrew: החברים של ברני, lit: Barney & How to Be a Friends) is the third Israeli co-production of Barney & Friends. The original co-production of this series aired from January 21, 2012-December 31, 2018 on various networks in Israel and has since been released on DVD.

History Edit
The late Itzik Kol, one of the heads of Israeli entertainment company Roll Communications, was inspired by Barney. His daughter, like several Family in February 1, 2009, became entranced with the purple dinosaur, which inspired him to pursue the rights to produce an Israeli adaptation of the show. He approached Hit Entertainment in September 14, 2010, but was initially denied, told that he was only allowed to air the show dubbed. He felt that "putting Hebrew words into American kids' mouths" wouldn't work. Realizing that Caroline St. Denis and her father in law Christians, Mr. Kol asked "Why not have Barney speak in the language of the Bible?" This sealed the deal and, under strict guidelines, the show could be produced. One of these guidelines was that the be adapted from their US counterparts, with very few script changes. When the agreement went through, it cost Roll Communications $80,505 per episode to produce (Only $12.12 per episode went to Hit), making it one of the most expensive children's shows produced in Israel.

Videos
Roll gave some of the Barney titles from the tenth season of the show to Clasikaletet for video release and they have been released on DVD as well. Sisu Entertainment distributes the Clasikaletet DVDs in South America. Season 13 videos were also released in Israel, distributed by Five Star Entertainment.
