Is that Asterix? That's the only French cartoon I know. Does the title mean, "He was once a man"?

no that is not asterix but the title sound somewhat right, the norwegian title would be "once upon a time there was a human" or something close to that. its about same characters in diffrent stages of human history from stone age to the 30s .

I'm french, so I can answer your question.
Il ?tait une fois l'homme means Once upon a time there was man.
Thats not a perfect translation. A translation of exactly what it sais would be:
Il ?tait une fois: Once upon a time L'homme: Man.
So really it's once upon a time Man, but the translation above makes more sense.

I used to watch that when I was younger, wow that was a cool series, I would still watch it now, very interesting, about the inside of a human being... very interesting. They also have a series (made by the same people... featuring the same characters) about history and science and stuff...
