Once Upon a Time… Man is a French animated TV series from 1978 directed by Albert Barillé. It is the first in the Once Upon a Time... franchise. The series explains world history in a format designed for children. The action focuses around one group. The same familiar characters appear in all episodes as they deal with the problems of their time. The series' opening and ending title sequences famously used Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor as the main title theme music. Shortening the piece to only 2 minutes in length, the introduction uses the very beginning, which jumps into the start of the middle section and finally the dramatic ending to coincide with the destruction of Earth at the end of the intro.

I loved watching this as a child. It was a first foray into the history of mankind. Although taking many leaps, it's just 26 episodes of 25 mins, I still think it is a great way to introduce kids to history in a funny yet educational way. I like that they didn't shy away from showing the, at times, brutal side of humanity. Parents can watch this together with their kids to explain certain things. But I watched this alone, being little over ten years old and didn't get nightmares
