History
Main article: List of Wansapanataym episodes

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. In 2004, the show had two child characters (featuring Sharlene San Pedro and Nash Aguas) and a magical book inside a chest in every prologue and epilogue of an episode.
