Es war einmal... unsere Erde

A unique series aimed at instilling basic ecological awareness in children. Each episode addresses a different issue from a different part of the world, ranging from sustainable economies in Africa to the admirable concept of reducing car use in developed countries. It represents a positive, non-violent approach that will not offend anyone. However, I found some episodes to be unpleasantly anthropocentric, but others, such as Climat: les effets (2009) about the climate crisis, have real potential. The biggest problem with this series is its terribly slow pace, which can bore children. If the blank spaces and completely unnecessary sequences were cut, each episode would be at least half as short, but it would have more energy and action. Despite this, the series definitely deserves a comeback with dubbing.
