Hello Maestro!
AN EVERGREEN BRAND TO DISCOVER THE WORLD WITH FUN
“Hello Maestro” is the brand of the Procidis animation studio which contains 8 chapters of the “Once upon a time…” series (26×26′), a cult series created by Albert Barillé who was able to unite children around knowledge, establishing itself since its launch in 1978 as the flagship of French edutainment. The eight series explore different topics and through animation make entertainment for children enjoyable and exciting. From the human body to space, from human history to nature, spectators (children and adults) learn while having fun thanks to the beloved protagonists who accompany them on numerous adventures. The eighth series will be dedicated to everyday objects and will be launched next Autumn 2024.
IN ITALY
“We are made like this”, original title “Once upon a time… Life” (26×26′), is the most successful series in our country. The cartoon tells the structure and function of the human body through the characters, anthropomorphic figures representing cells, white blood cells, vitamins… The series was broadcast for the first time in Italy in 1989 accompanied by the iconic theme song by Cristina D’Avena and is currently still broadcast on Italia Uno, Cartoonito and Boing as well as on the streaming platforms Prime Video, Netflix and Tim Vision in a restored version. The success of the animated series gave rise to a strong publishing bond with DeAgostini who over the years has developed numerous products such as books, DVDs, game cards, models of the human body signed “Exploring the human body”.
Once upon a time…THE OBJECTS
Every object, even the simplest, brings with it extraordinary stories, and “Maestro” is ready to tell them all. Once upon a time… objects is the latest creation by the Procidis studio which tells how each object is an opportunity to visit the various fields of knowledge (History, Geography, Physics, Natural Sciences, Philosophy) and discover how they played a role in the History of Humanity and how they made the world we live in… and the one we will live in tomorrow. The series will launch in Fall 2024.
