Trapp Family Story (Season 1)

Trapp Family Story (トラップ一家物語, 1991) is a Japanese anime series from Nippon Animation you can watch online on iFILM. Maria leaves the convent to take up a post as governess for Captain von Trapp, a widowed former naval officer raising seven children in late-1930s Austria. The children resist her. Music gets through.

The series draws from Maria von Trapp's own memoir — the same book that seeded The Sound of Music — but takes a different route. Unlike the famous musical, this adaptation keeps the real names of all seven children, lending it a quieter authenticity beneath the animated style. Watch Trapp Family Story (1991) online on iFILM.
