The BFI presents three more classic kids' films from the much loved Children's Film Foundation. This volume showcases three remastered films - all weird and fantastic adventures - made by some of the leading figures of British cinema. The Boy Who Turned Yellow (1972) was the final film produced by the legendary British director/writer/producers Michael Powell and Emeric Press burger (A Matter of Life and Death, The Red Shoes). In this fantastic story a young boy changes colour and gets the ability to transport himself through the TV. The Monster of Highgate Ponds (1961)... was made by the great director Alberto Calvalcanti (Went the Day Well, Dead of Night). Three London children acquire a giant egg which hatches out into a mild-mannered monster. A Hitch in Time (1978) stars Patrick Troughton - the second Dr. Who - as an eccentric professor whose new time-machine keeps going wrong.

Triple bill of British movies produced by the Children's Film Foundation. In 'The Monster of Highgate Ponds' (1961) some children befriend a strange but kindly monster and help it to get home. In Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 'The Boy Who Turned Yellow' (1972), after being sent home from school for daydreaming, John (Mark Dightam) is turned yellow during an incident on the tube and then goes to retrieve his pet mouse which he lost earlier on a trip to the Tower of London. In 'A Hitch in Time' (1978) Professor Wagstaff (Patrick Troughton) invents a problematic time machine which, when discovered by two children, takes them off on an interesting adventure into the past.
