Brings tears to my eyes...that an cartoon/anime from the 80-s is more interesting as a Sci Fi then anything in the last 10 years from hollywood. I wish this was made into a live action movie. - From Hungary
I may have been born in 2005, but the *_Il était une fois_* series is still a large part of my childhood and, to be honest, *_once upon a time... Space_* is so much better than any other sci-fi. Just look at those ship designs!
It's a beautiful thing to see (read) grown up man discussing good times of wen they were kids, and about such quality cartoons like this. This is a must for all young parents out there, if they have the opportunity to get this cartoons, this is definitely a must, like a first step in human history - and I'm talking about ''once upon a time... man'' - their kids not only gonna understand it, they probably gonna like history.
Fly with me Past Jupiter and Mars Come and see fields dappled bright with stars Galaxies in astral seas above On cosmic paths we'll trace Man's journey into space.

Fly with me The future holds in store Mysteries foretold in ancient lore And our dreams can all come true it seems If we will dare to face Adventure that's out in space. Oh Fly with me Just let your thoughts take wing Liberty is such a wondrous thing Leave behind this still sublunar race Come see, come take your place, We're leaving soon for space.

From back when true quality programming was still being made. I only wish the song had been in French. I'm Swedish but I watched it as a kid in French. So the French song would have brought back even fonder memories.
SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT LISTENED TO FRENCH THEME WHEN KID ALTHOUGH I REMEMBER ONE CARTOON WITH SIMILAR THEME THAT HAD 2 KIDS IN COLLEGE OR SMTHN AND THEY WERE IN SPACE AND THEY HAD A ROBOT NAMED METRO AND IDK IF IT WAS THEIR GRANDPA OR TEACHER WITH A LONG BEARD NAMED MAESTRO AND THOSE TWO WERE CALLED PIERROT AND PSY SOMETHING LIKE THAT
About 25 decades after watching this series I finally realised that it's in many ways anime. It was animated in Japan. Before that I didn't know why some of that early 80's anime looked and sounded so familiar.
Did anyone notice that this series had a feature that was widely introduced to the audiences by Babylon 5? Storyelements that seemed to be on its own and later became part of something greater. In a show for kids, amazing!
Now i grew up with This and Im happy only thing i was born 2006 so how did i grew up with it Yeah funny story my moms brother loved This series when he was little same thing with once upon a time time adventure or What its called but he bought dvd off all This and everytime we was going to meet them we would watch This. Sorry for bad english Im a swede

Omg same! I remember watching an episode of "once upon a time... life" in school and feeling so anxious after it. Like, so anxious that i started to cry.
I think this animation is SOOO MUCH MORE then just a series. Its an enbodyment of the dreams and wishes of the 1990+ generation. Its a thing every single sligtly intelligent human is aiming for and wishing for. Elon Musk is an exmple of this dream of adventure ahead of us.
PLEASE leave other language versions underneath (song name and performer) Il Etait Une Fois... L'espace by Michel Legrand (French) Il Etait Une Fois... L'espace by Virginia Vee (English)
I remember this series and am sure there was an episode where they were at a planet I think it was and it was so hot they started taking off their suits, am I imagining this? If Not what is the episodes name? Thanks
God, I loved this series. It was a bit too "educational" at times, I think it tried too hard to be true to its roots (the rest of the "Once upon a time" cartoons were all educational series, not that it made them any worse), but it had incredible maturity for an 80's cartoon series. Having an overarching plot didn't hurt either. Especially the two-parters and the penultimate four-parter made it feel like a proper space opera.

Sooo trueee
Interstellar, or TeneT. Trust me bro.
RIP Michel Legrand. You composed, played and sang the most beautiful songs, right here on Earth.
Here on frosted Milky Way, in the sublunar space.
Good God. So many years after watching this as a child and this intro still makes me dream of travelling through space. Deep Space My Destination.
But the cosmos is not everything, not only does it exist,
Ever heard of no man's sky?
I know english only to little I don't understand you.
Anastasios Gkotzamanis Omg same!!!!!!!

Rip Albert Barille who directed the whole series of once upon a time as well as Michel Legrand who composed this incredible music

Watched this and Once upon a time Life when i was a kid loved it.
The entire nation of Sweden is even enjoying barilles work.
2006, same for me
Revisiting childhood memories, 2023 :D
A 2008 kid here :D
me too, 2007 here ;) this series was a huge part of my childhood
2006 here, same.
2000 kid here ❤️
2001 here. I watched this cd in finnish dubbing. This was insane science fiction series in animation. Star Trekk nah
I was a kid in the 90s when I first heard this beautiful theme song it feels good to be reunited with it almost 30 years later.
All kids in Europe grew up with Il était une fois… :D
*****
I think the first run was in french for everyone. Then every country started to dub since this was for kids.
yes they did even in comunist state we had that also

Eric Masters Even here in Finland we had it, and we loved it!
The whole series is just so unique. It's very educational, has good music, animation and still has humor.
The best intro ever period
What a deliciously melodramatic theme song. Love it.
Fly with me
Past Jupiter and Mars
Come and see fields dappled bright with stars
Galaxies in astral seas above
On cosmic paths we'll trace
Man's journey into space.
Fly with me
And watch as skies unfold
Superstars in numbers still untold
Dwarves at play on frosted Milky Way
On silver wings we'll race
Like shooting stars through space.
Fly with me
The future holds in store
Mysteries foretold in ancient lore
And our dreams can all come true it seems
If we will dare to face
Adventure that's out in space.
Oh
Fly with me
Just let your thoughts take wing
Liberty is such a wondrous thing
Leave behind this still sublunar race
Come see, come take your place,
We're leaving soon for space.
Fly with me past Jupiter and Mars...
briliant buddy

Gosh the nostalgia... So many times i watched this, all the way trough, my favorite of all the ''once upon a time...'' series.
So it's mine
I grew up watching this when I was a kid in the early-90s.
I love it, they really put the effort in to this opening
Takes me right back!
Never thought I'll find this. One of the tunes of my childhood.
Man nostalgia
best song ever
Old memories.
I still have these DVD:s
I miss this show, it needs reboot in my opinion
That is a very good idea. The UA-cam futurologist Isaac Arthur might have some connections that can make it happen?
I am so jealous! I never got to see this series as a kid! I would have loved it!! I have seen life and history ones tho...
wow! I have been trying to remember what this show was called for ages. Thanks for posting
in my humble opinion, the best of all "once upon a time..." series after our Earth !
I just watched this in Finnish and when this opening came out I had to know who sung this. So thanks :)

More realistic and political i quess

this was my star wars
~LYRICS~
Fly with me,
past Jupiter and Mars.
Come and see,
fields dappled bright with stars.
Galaxies in astral seas above.
On cosmic paths we'll trace,
on mans journey into space.
Fly with me,
and watch as skies unfold.
Superstars in numbers still untold,
dwarves at play,
on frosted Milky Way.
On silver wings we'll race,
like shooting stars through space.
Fly with me,
the future holds in store,
mysteries foretold in ancient lore.
And our dreams can all come true it seems.
If we'll dare to face,
adventure that's out in space.
(Oh, oh..)
Fly with me,
just let your thoughts take wing,
liberty is such a wonderuous thing.
Leave behind this still sublunar space,
come see, come take your place.
We're leaving soon for space,
fly with me past Jupiter and Mars.
This was my favourite cartoon back then
Pure gold. ✨
This song means more to me than i'm willing to admit
what a trip..had mixed memories of this combined with Ulysses 31...thought I was going crazy..thanks for the post.
Infinite.
Blue prairies of the sky.
Discovered.
Like a large opened book.
And the Earth.
Ephemeral marble.
Who took, when the star pass.
It's real place into space.
Infinite.
Who front of us reveal.
It's comets.
It's planets, it's stars.
And the sky.
As an eternal dream.
Where even the time erase.
To let place to the space.
Infinite.
Toward which we goes.
Full of joy.
On the horses of wind.
The future.
Adventures we will face.
Let me; tell you.
Once upon a time... Space.
Infinite.
Of which we're sentinels.
Symphonies.
At reach of our wings.
Harmonies.
Of which we never tired.
You will see.
Take your place.
We're going into space.
Infinite...

U VERY GOOD AT FRENCH
Wow
Jean Huet THANK YOU
il est tellement plus poétique en français ce générique...
I've had this on DVD since 2009...
alhamdulillah.. ada juga ini.. sudah aku cari lama-lama.. terimakasih!
One of the more...epic childchood memories...sniff...
Very nice voice for that wonderful series, another French wonder by the late Albert Barillé
My only wish is that the producer will remastered and released this masterpiece again, i would be the very first in the buying line.
The director of the series died in 2009
the Portuguese version of this song was amazing.
My childchood (born in 2004)
I'm not sure why, but this show and especially the intro gave me so much anxiety that I couln't even watch it and still wouldn't😅
This intro? Now I’m really curious what caused that.
Only intro I hated was once upon life because it sounded annoying.
@@kallazjopatsu6846 I didn’t like it because we watched it in class and it contained nudity, which made the guys in class go absolutely berserk.
@@TheWolfwiththeDragon XD I just hated anatomy
Omg same! I remember watching an episode of "once upon a time... life" in school and feeling so anxious after it. Like, so anxious that i started to cry.
Fly with me
much better than any space cartoons nowadays
@izznub It was also aired in English on Irish TV.
Good series... only i grew up with the Dutch dubbed version and it had no singin' in the intro... wich i like more than the one with singin'.
kan ik dit ergens kijken?
zeg aub ja
Loved this as a kid and the Life and Americas versions too...would love to grt them on DVD....might try play dot com
I fucking love this it's so nostalgic :0♥️

Elon Musk is an example of humanity's dreams used to make one person better off than the rest of us.
@@milokojjones You are jealous and wrong about Elon Musk. That's what all the other silly billionaires use their wealth for. To get useless stuff.
star ships in this cartoon is sooooo good
Call me weird, but I really like to imagine this song as a Star Trek TOS theme.
It probably would work.
I think it would work pretty well as the ST: Enterprise theme since it would fit thematically.
truly a great anime
i want this series....but cant find it anywhere.
What is she singing?
Can't catch the "Superstars"-line and the "Leave behind" one.
Lyrics don't seem to be anywhere on the internets.
a good series that started with music like 1999
NOSTALGIA
who sings the English version?
Virginia Vee :)
There are other versions?

I thought as kid that this is was cool, but now i understand that this is happening cause mankind destroyed earth.... Hahah... ;D

Why do main Anthagonists here have pointy ears like Vulcans from star trek ?
