Once Upon a Time... Space is an animated science fiction television show that aired from 1982 to 1983. It was a French-Japanese co-production and was dubbed into English for its international broadcast. The show follows the adventures of a group of characters as they travel through space and time to learn about various aspects of science and technology.

The show features a cast of recurring characters, including Pierrot, a young boy who is eager to learn about science and technology; Psi, a mysterious alien with telekinetic powers; and Maestro, a wise and knowledgeable teacher who guides the group in their travels.

One of the defining features of Once Upon a Time... Space is its combination of science fiction and educational themes. Each episode focuses on a different scientific concept, ranging from the basics of the universe and space travel to more advanced topics like chemistry and biology. The show aims to make these concepts accessible and fun for children, using colorful animations and engaging storytelling to capture their imaginations.

At the same time, Once Upon a Time... Space also explores deeper ethical and philosophical questions related to science and technology. For example, one episode deals with the concept of artificial intelligence and the question of whether machines can truly possess consciousness or emotions. Another episode deals with the ethics of using technology to extend the human lifespan, raising questions about the trade-offs between scientific progress and human values.

Throughout the show, the characters encounter a range of alien species and futuristic technologies. These include advanced spaceships, telekinetic powers, and time-traveling devices. The show's vivid animation style and detailed depictions of alien landscapes and creatures create a rich and immersive world for viewers to explore.

The show's voice cast includes veteran voice actors Roger Carel, Annie Balestra, and Alain Dorval, who bring their characters to life with warmth and wit. Carel provides the voice of Maestro, bringing gravitas and authority to the character's wise and philosophical musings. Balestra voices Pierrot with a youthful energy and enthusiasm, while Dorval brings a sense of mystery and intrigue to Psi's inscrutable alien nature.

Despite its educational focus, Once Upon a Time... Space also delivers plenty of action and adventure. The characters face a range of challenges and obstacles, including hostile aliens, dangerous environments, and ethical dilemmas. Along the way, they learn important lessons about teamwork, creativity, and perseverance, making the show an inspiring and encouraging watch for children.

Overall, Once Upon a Time... Space is a classic example of a science fiction series that successfully blends entertainment with education. Its engaging characters, exciting adventures, and thoughtful exploration of scientific concepts make it a beloved classic that continues to inspire new generations of young viewers.
