History

Wansapanataym was launched in 1997, having genre similarities with the ABS-CBN Foundation-produced education program Hiraya Manawari (which features Filipino short stories for children) and the 1980s series Pinoy Fantasy. A film was also produced based on the show's genre, which starred Shaina Magdayao, Serena Dalrymple and Christopher de Leon.

Judy Ann Santos and the late Rico Yan graced the very first episode of Wansapanataym. From August 2004 to February 2005, the show is reformatted featuring two child characters (played by Sharlene San Pedro and Nash Aguas as the head casts) and a magical book inside a chest or somewhere in their house in every prologue and epilogue of an episode.

This show is currently streaming on Jeepney TV YouTube Channel every 6:00 pm (formerly 4:00 pm).

Also past episodes (2003-2005; 2010-2013) is currently streaming on Yey! YouTube Channel every Tuesday, 10 am.
