What’s the chef cookin’ tonight?

Once Upon a Time… The Discoverers is the fifth of Albert Barillé’s Once Upon a Time… cartoons, centered on the big-bearded Maestro. I have previously shown Once Upon a Time… Man from '78 (world history, albeit Eurocentric), Space from '82 (not actually educational; it’s sci-fi set in the future), Life from '87 (human physiology), and The Americas from '91 (history of Abya Yala, surprisingly good). This time, in The Discoverers, Maestro will be telling us about famous inventors and scientists from antiquity to the present day.

As before, the episodes have a runtime of ~24 minutes each; the number of episodes is 26; and we’ll be watching five episodes a week until the end when we watch the last six episodes and start half an hour earlier.

We’ll be watching the following episodes tonight:

• Ep 6: Johannes Gutenberg and Printing
• Ep 7: Leonardo da Vinci, a Jack-of-all-trades
• Ep 8: The Doctors
• Ep 9: Galileo Galilei
• Ep 10: Isaac Newton
