Once Upon a Time… Space
A team of peacekeepers travels the galaxy solving disputes and exploring new worlds. Set against a story of a dispute between a dictatorial planet vying for more power and the rest of the union.

This was history reimagined as sci-fi, Maestro in a space suit, Pierrot navigating galactic diplomacy and the stars whispering lessons about humanity’s future.
Once Upon a Time… Space took the familiar faces from the educational series and launched them into orbit, blending real science with speculative storytelling and moral clarity.
Watching it as a kid meant learning without realizing it, absorbing ideas about peace, cooperation and the dangers of unchecked power, all wrapped in laser battles and planetary politics.
The animation was stylized, the music haunting and the themes surprisingly deep: ecology, war, artificial intelligence and the fragile hope of unity.
It wasn’t just space, it was soul. And it made you feel like the universe was something to care about, not just explore.
