A prefix representing a kid-friendly version of a pre-existing product or concept, named after "Once Upon A Deadpool" (2018). It signifies an attempt to create a more suitable and sanitized version for children.
As YouTube Kids had been corrupted by the emerging phenomenon called Elsagate, YouTube should try another attempt to make a kid-friendly version called Once Upon A YouTube, featuring daytime TV-like censorship modeled after Disney Junior and Disney Channel.

Get the As Hopkins once saidmug. 
A classic phrase used to introduce a story, often evoking nostalgia or a sense of wonder. It signifies the beginning of a tale that is either fantastical or deeply personal, suggesting that what follows is a narrative from a time long ago, filled with magic, adventure, or significant events.
It is widely claimed that once upon a time, a 17-year-old high school girl passed away on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 whilst still wearing school uniform, having insisted on fasting during Ramadan despite suffering from typhus at the time. That day, a poignant blend of dedication and tragedy—a "perfect" day for someone who left this world far too soon without leaving any digital footprint as the Internet and social media platforms didn’t exist yet at the time. Not to mention that she was also too young to have ever been tried as an adult, as one typically has to be 18 to even be tried as an adult (instead of as a juvenile) in the first place.
