A few weeks ago, the companies also closed a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Italy for airing on the pay TV channel Boomerang and - for the free to air - on Cartoonito in Autumn 2024.
Hélène Barillé, CEO and Producer of Procidis, said: “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.”
"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,” added Samuel Kaminka, CEO and Producer of Samka
Since its first broadcast back in 1978, the “Once Upon a Time…” saga has never stopped being broadcast in France, translated into 80 languages, and is still aired in numerous countries. Maestro continues to be known in more than 100 countries.
