Santa is overwhelmed and needs a hand! He can't keep up with the task of making a special toy for every child on the planet, so he puts an ad in the local papers.

Enjoy the classic tale Le Petit Chaperon rouge (Little Red Riding Hood), as told by Patricia.

The original version of Le Petit Chaperon rouge, written by Charles Perrault, has a more gruesome ending than the one you might be familiar with. Patricia concludes the tale in this video.

Patricia introduces the famous French animated series Il était une fois (Once Upon a Time), which follows a time-traveling family through the high points of human civilization and into the future. We have several episodes available on Yabla, which you can find here, and more coming soon!

In the first episode of this new cartoon series, Once Upon a Time... Planet Earth, deforestation issues are addressed from outer space... Just grow a few trees in a spaceship and plant them on land later!

The Maestro tells his students about the famous "Biosphere" project in Arizona, the largest enclosed ecological system in the world.

These young people want to do their part for the planet. Under the Maestro's supervision, they prepare a butterfly garden after learning that butterflies are an endangered species.

The Maestro surpervises the building of a pond for the butterfly garden. Everything goes according to plan, despite the work of a few practical jokesters.

In the next segment of this Il était une fois... episode on ecosystems, the Maestro teaches us how to build a butterfly garden. You can build one anywhere—even on your apartment balcony!

In this episode on the ecosystems, guide Nam explains the importance of mangroves in the food chain. You'll also see the rafflesia, the largest flower in the world.

In part seven of this episode on the ecosystems, the young students are on a field trip (a marsh trip to be exact), where they witness firsthand the destruction of this precious ecosystem. But this is not a new phenomenon: once upon a time in Polynesia...

In the final part of this Il était une fois... episode on the ecosystems, the Maestro explains what happened to the people and the famous statues of Easter Island. It's a lesson we'd do well to learn from.

The Maestro gives us an overview of some of the major innovations of the last century, from the invention of the radio to the discovery of the first exoplanet. We've come a long way in just a few decades!

In the second part of this Il était une fois... (Once Upon a Time) episode on technology, the kids attend a technology show in Japan, where they play some amazing virtual reality games... and some practical jokes.

The home of the future includes a talking refrigerator that gives you chocolate bars for breakfast! Unfortunately, it also includes some pesky robots....
