\n\tBeno\u00eet Di Sabatino, CEO of Banijay Kids & Family and President of Procidis, told\u00a0Variety<\/em>: \u201cAt the time it was created, \u2018Once Upon a Time\u2026\u2019 was revolutionary. Albert Barill\u00e9 created a unique visual and narrative language that spoke to children and parents alike.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIts longevity is rooted in its ability to \u201cblend storytelling with education in a way that\u2019s both engaging and timeless,\u201d he argued, \u201cmaking knowledge accessible, playful and universal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe franchise has always sparked curiosity in children that leaves a lasting impression into adulthood. What\u2019s kept it alive is its adaptability, with each new season tackling fresh themes that resonate with contemporary audiences. Every episode is driven by curiosity, pedagogy, and a genuine kindness toward the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s not the end of the decades-spanning story, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe continued success of \u2018Once Upon a Time\u2026\u2019 across new territories and platforms shows there\u2019s still a strong appetite for thoughtful, educational content. With Helene Barill\u00e9, we have bold plans to grow and evolve the brand for a new generation. We\u2019re continuing to keep building on its legacy and introduce it to new generations around the world, both through content and beyond with a growing portfolio of experiences and products.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhile every season has a different focus, \u201cThe Objects\u201d takes a fresh look at the everyday items that shape our world.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a clever way to teach children about science, history and culture through objects they encounter daily. Buyers have responded enthusiastically because the show is accessible and universal, and they value content that smartly combines education and entertainment,\u201d assured Di Sabatino. Arguing that the magic of the franchise likes in its storytelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt doesn\u2019t preach. It entertains. It invites understanding rather than memorization. Humor, poetry and iconic characters make knowledge come alive.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHe added: \u201cIt has always respected its audience\u2019s intelligence and is a trusted source of knowledge, which captures children\u2019s imaginations. That balance of emotion, narrative and scientific accuracy is what makes it such a timeless model of \u2018edutainment,\u2019 long before the term even existed.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\u2018Once Upon a Time\u2026\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Banijay Kids & Family<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Banijay Kids & Family \u2013 behind hit shows \u201cTotally Spies!\u201d and \u201cMr Bean: The Animated Series\u201d \u2013 has announced new distribution agreements for the latest installment of \u201cOnce Upon a Time\u2026,\u201d produced by Procidis.
