Once Upon a Time (Er was eens...de mens)

[borgduck]

Does anyone else find the ending where he escapes in a rocket, burning to death his pursuers as he launches off a bit chilling?!!

[foobarbe]

This is a censored version. Look up on youtube, there is another one. Search for "il était une fois l'homme" and you'll see that the bit at which the rocket is launched, it burns robbers before taking off.

[bananenfoon]

owla .. da voorspelt de toekomst zelfs ;D

was er ook ni zoiets ma dan met het lichaam?

[Scum71succer]

I loved this music score Toccata i fugue :D it;s awesome

[bowlochile]

teach the controversy !!!

[nicotinaddict]

I used to watch this cartoon all the time but it sure was violent at times. Were talking lots of blood here people.

[DWYRF]

Well, that's what history of mankind has been all about.

[Xelmon]

I distinctively remember that it wasn't gory, or scary.

At the same time, you still understood that "People have *died* because of difference of beliefs", and in some cases you added "Lots of people" in the front.

This was especially well explained when they talked about Italy, and how the families had men killed from each side, evening out at 10-10 or 15-15.

[DeDoentje]

Het begin doet mij denken aan Fatboy Slim met Right Here, Right Now.

Zou hij er ook vroeger naar gekeken hebben?

[hasjtrackers]

:(

Dit is van toen muziek alleen maar op papier werd uitgegeven.

[Dodec84]

volgens mij is die man van de "Er was eens ..." series van ver voor Fatboy Slim

[Scum71succer]

vast wel :D

[pokoe]

I dont understand the ending of this intro! It says; And the earth; gone! and then it explodes.. why was that?

[zoltar000]

the earth will someday be gone anyway

[pokoe]

But they suggest it will be in the period were still using spacerockets like we have now, so la terre will explode within 10 years?

[borgduck]

@zoltar000 LOL! 2012 anyone? It'll be fab if we all die before the next Olympics!

[Woollylinnet]

The title actually means "And the Earth...was"

I assume it must have been one of the first episodes - if not the very first.

[TheBlaskowicz]

Too bad there isn't any series like this nowdays. I wonder if they'll ever be such a great show as Once Upon a Time...

[elfenwing]

voor de fans: ik ga binnenkort alle afleveringen van er was eens de mens op youtube zetten momenteel staat er al een stuk van aflevering 1 op. grts yan dc =)

[8jordangutierrez8]

What an awesome video, I grew up watching this series almost every day and I am happy to find the original classical begining intro of when I was a child. This show comes from the 80's and tough it shows evolucionism it also has chapters on creationism. It stays neutral and it s not about left or right it is about showing kids the world they live in and its history. This series gave me Knowledge, Identity,love for Music, to become a Historian, Theolgist a US Marine. This series Rock!!!

[SaraSahin]

Before my child is going to watch this cartoon ... İ have to explain and tell her that we're not original from monkeys. Otherwise it's ok:) ... (Most of us know what İ mean ...)

[MaxwellEindhoven]

@ SaraSahin: So you mean you don't want her to know the truth, you want her to believe a stupid story of a ghost creating the world in a week?

[Vincspenc]

That's disgusting what you're saying Sara, just because you were brainwashed by the church, doesn't mean you brainwash you're children aswell.

[SharkiESR]

a pretty grim ending to Earth for a cartoon show

[AFCA4EVER]

Vette shit was dit. Soms zaten er best wel harde stukje in voor een tekenfilm kan ik nog herinneren :)

[eaglecreek123]

This show was like broacasted in 20+ countries.. Thats the strongers proove you can get it's quality!!

[free92style]

Are the red guys commusist? The guys at the end?

[343kaka]

Nope, they are characters who are described as the evil guys througout history, and the series is more left-wing than right-wing, at least according to me.

[croscream]

Yes, they are communists. The little one is the jew.

[DarknessDust]

I really loved this show!!!

too bad they don't give it anymore on TV...

I also was a bit scared the first couple of times I saw this intro....

I really miss it

[lmvtube]

I can not believe I watch this intro again, these were among my favorite series. But I need to say that I didnt remembering its opening and closing parts. I did got scared. It seems we are going right there.

[darkprayer666]

Ik zou echt graag nog eens alle afleveren van deze reeks zien.

[Magnificon]
