Episode guide

**Super Dad** (ru. *Суперпапа*) is the seventh episode of the animated series «The Barkers». Made by the animation studio «Melnitsa».

## Plot

Kid and Dad are sitting in Kid's room. The younger Barkers is reading superhero comics, while the older one is trying his best to start a toy car. When Dad finally manages to fix the toy, Kid suddenly wonders if his Dad could become a Superhero? For full effect, he shows a page from a comic where everyone's favorite superhero is excitedly fighting his enemies. Wanting to please his youngest son, dad convinces him that he is already a superhero - he doesn’t even need to pump up his muscles and learn to fly! As proof, Dad lifts a toy weight, and Kid is finally convinced that his father is a superhero who will save the world. But at that moment, when dad brilliantly describes his abilities to Kid, a bee suddenly flies into the window of the room and crashes into dad’s head. Dad screams in horror, hits his head on the shelf with toys, and all the contents fall on his head. Fortunately, Kid manages to catch the scary striped tyrant in a jar in time and protect his superhero dad. Mom comes running to the noise and asks dad what he is doing. Kid wants to explain that dad became a superhero, but dad admits that he was joking about his superpowers. The distressed Kid watches in the dining room as his mother bandages his father's head.

Going to bed that night, he sadly looks at the aquarium where the goldfish swims. It's a pity that it's not magical - if it were like something out of a fairy tale, it would definitely make dad a superhero. Unbeknownst to himself, Kid falls asleep and dreams. The goldfish suddenly starts talking - it turns out that it is very magical! Joyful Kid asks the fish to make dad a superhero. She willingly fulfills her wish. A second later, dad already enters the room, dressed in a glowing superhero costume. Lifting the bed with Kid in his arms, he demonstrates his superpowers - this time the truest ones! Kid wants to play more, but dad has a serious job - he needs to defeat all evil and treachery! Promising to return soon, he flies out the window.

All day long Kid waits for his dad to come home. Watching his dad's activities on TV, he admires, but then again remembers his dad and looks out the window. Soon all the family members, gathered around Kid, console him as best they can - they say that dad will return soon, and Kid should be proud of his celebrity father. At this moment, dad appears outside the window again. Kid joyfully rushes to the window, but barely has time to exchange a few words with his dad before he immediately flies off into the darkness again. Kid wakes up in fear. Now he no longer wants his dad to become a superhero.

At this time, dad is sitting in the kitchen, holding a jar with a bee in front of him and desperately trying to overcome his fear. Then Kid comes running to him and throws himself into his arms. Dad happily promises that he will never abandon his son in his life, and immediately makes grandiose plans for today - going to the circus and skating rink, as well as buying ice cream! Kid immediately rushes to get ready. But the bee, which has already escaped from the jar, is ready to ruin today. Super dad will have to pass a good test of courage!
