Once Upon My Story: The Afternoon Nap

Maki Média

Some people simply can’t manage to take an afternoon nap.

Once upon a time… children were invited to let their imagination run free and tell stories using their own words. Animated for the small screen, these charming, humorous adventures combine reality and fantasy, and immerse us in the unbridled imagination of children. This short story is the virtual reality and dome adaptation of an episode of the serie Once Upon… My Story!
