In January 2013 filmmaker Laura Poitras was several years into the making of a film about abuses of national security in post--9/11 America when she started receiving encrypted emails from someone identifying himself as "citizen four" who was ready to blow the whistle on the massive covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies. In June 2013 Poitras and reporter Glenn Greenwald flew to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with the man who turned out to be Edward Snowden. She brought her camera with her. The film that resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely unique in the history of cinema: a 100% real-life thriller unfolding minute by minute before our eyes.

Thomas, as anyone familiar with the eponymous, wildly popular TV series knows, is a very useful engine, and never more so than in his first theatrical release, which was a modest box-office success. On a tank filled with little more than pluck, determination and goodwill, Thomas sets out full-steam ahead on a danger-fraught mission to help his friend Mr Conductor. The conductor's stash of magic gold dust has run out, leaving him stranded on the Island of Sodor with Junior, his flaky cousin, and Lily, a little girl enlisted to lift her grandfather out of a funk on nearby Muffle Mountain. When Thomas bravely chugs beyond his hometown tracks' buffers with Lily aboard, he's transported to Muffle Mountain's secret railway and to Lady, a long-lost steamer whose legendary engine makes her more powerful than Diesel, the train-yard bully. Together, Thomas and Lady lead Diesel on a chase that causes a bridge to collapse, taking the dastardly Diesel down with it. Most impressive about the movie is its marquee names: Alec Baldwin works magic as the dutiful worrywart Mr Conductor, Mara Wilson is Lily and Peter Fonda plays the cool-looking but lugubrious Grandpa. It's a cast that will keep put-upon parents watching, if half-heartedly. Thomas fans of five years and under, meanwhile, will wish the actors wouldn't blow so much hot air; they will want to see their hero a bigger part in steaming up the storyline. --Tammy La Gorce

Joanna Ferrone and Susan Rose's Angela Anaconda is one of the most inventive and acute animated shows on children's television. Its gawky heroine Angela has a bad attitude to authority and a vivid fantasy-life that makes up for the humiliations of the everyday--her rivalry with the endlessly pretentious Nanette Manoir and the more-or-less intense dislike of her form teacher Mrs Brinks. We have a profound sense that what we are getting is Angela's side of all this but the transformations and endless sufferings through which she puts the targets of her scorn are entertaining enough to make us entirely complicit. The animation technique, combining poster paint backgrounds with almost hyper-real monochrome faces, provides an almost seamless segue from the mundane to the imagined; these six episodes take us to the Moon, the Amazon and the French Revolution while plausibly reminding us at every turn that these are children, in a classroom. --Roz Kaveney
