EIGHT PART OF THE SAGA
In "Once Upon a Time…The Objects", each object gives kids the opportunity to discover different fields of knowledge (History, Geography, Physics, Natural Sciences, Philosophy), and get to know how they have played a role in the History of Humankind and shaped the world in which we live, as well as that of tomorrow!.
With rigorously accurate documentation (checked by a scientific committee) the series offers kids a form by which they are free to analyze themselves and thus retaining the information.
“When I decided to make my first series, 'Once Upon a Time...', the challenge was to create a season that would enrich the saga, not eclipse it. I wanted broadcasters and viewers to see it as part of a 90-hour fresco. It had to remain first and foremost a public service, adapting to today’s media and audiences while remaining faithful to Maestro’s DNA and philanthropic values. We are proud to present 'Once Upon a Time... The Objects', the latest addition to the Hello Maestro saga,” said Hélène Barillé, CEO and Producer of Procidis.
"After discovering that every object hides a fabulous story, children will look at their everyday lives with fresh eyes. They'll feel that knowledge is a source of pleasure," commented Samuel Kaminka, CEO and Producer of Samka.
