Stories about art, told by kids, animated by artists.
In this episode, best friends Dili and Amalia draw the story of Green Man, his favorite dancing goat, and a magical doorknob that leads to the Upside-Down World. Inspired by looking at Marc Chagall’s “I and the Village,” their adventures are brought to life by animator Una Lorenzen.
Watch and get inspired too! Pause on the artwork at the end to tell or draw your own unique story.
“Once Upon an Artwork” is the award-winning animated series that uses works of art in MoMA’s collection as a jumping off point for children to imagine, play, seek adventure, and create worlds. We record kids looking at works of art and then an animator brings their unique vision and storytelling to life.
Winner of the Best Animated Series in the 2026 Webby Awards.
