About Once Upon a Time... The Americas
"Once upon a time ... the Americas" tells us the story of this vast continent, from the very first inhabitants to the present day, including the Aztecs and the Incas, the conquistadors, the war of independence or the gold Rush. Through our usual sympathetic heroes (Maestro, Pierrot, Petit Gros, le Teigneux, le Nabot, etc.), we travel from time to time, always with the aim of teaching us something.
Directed by Albert Barillé, Once Upon a Time... The Americas leans on a strong ensemble — Roger Carel, Olivier Destrez, Marie-Laure Beneston — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1992.
