Broadcast information
The series Once Upon a Time… Man and its sequel series were dubbed into many languages .
Once Upon a Time. Man () is a French animated TV series from 1978 directed by Albert Barillé. It is the first in the Once Upon a Time. franchise. The series explains world history in a format designed for children. The action focuses around one group. The same familiar characters appear in all episodes as they deal with the problems of their time. This animated was purchased by most public broadcasting channels in Europe (and in many other countries) and is well-known by a significant percentage of the population. The program is known for explaining events to children from different viewpoints as the main characters come from many civilizations. Despite its age, the number of factual errors is very low and most countries re-run the animated series every few years. The series' opening and ending title sequences famously used Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor as the main title theme music. Shortening the piece to only 2 minutes in length, the introduction uses the very beginning, which jumps into the start of the middle section and finally the dramatic ending to coincide with the destruction of Earth at the end of the intro.
