Trapp Family Story (トラップ一家物語, Torappu Ikka Monogatari) is a Japanese anime series by Nippon Animation.

It was based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, which has also inspired the world famous musical The Sound of Music.

While many things were changed from the original story, unlike other adaptations such as The Sound of Music, the children's names are all correct in this version.

Opening themes

The opening theme differed depending on the broadcasting. The series first used "Doremi no Uta (Doremi Song)" as the intro theme during earlier broadcasting, however, the DVD and video version of the series uses "Hohoemi no Mahou (Smile Magic)" as the new opening song.

1. "Doremi Song [ドレミのうた] (Do-Re-Mi no Uta)" by Eri Itoh and Children's Choir of the Forest (early broadcasting version) - This was a Japanese adaptation of the song Do-Re-Mi from The Sound of Music.

1. "Smile Magic [ほほえみの魔法](Hohoemi no Mahou)" by Eri Itoh (video, DVD, and later rebroadcasting version)
