The BFI presents three more classic kids' films from the much loved Children’s Film Foundation. Cult favourite Sammy's Super T-Shirt (1978) - arguably the most sought after gem in the CFF library – finally comes to DVD, accompanied by two other classics from the collection. Sammy dreams of becoming a super athlete, despite his puny build. When his lucky training t-shirt is thrown into a scientist's lab it becomes imbued with 'super strength' power. When Sammy manages to recover the t-shirt he uses his new-found strength to out-run baddies and bullies alike. Soapbox... Derby (1957), sees a young Michael Crawford scrapping with a rival South London gang in Battersea, while The Sky-Bike (1967) stars Liam Redmond as an eccentric inventor trying to achieve more than just speed.

Triple bill of British movies produced by the Children's Film Foundation. In 'Sammy's Super T-Shirt' (1978), despite his small build, Sammy Smith (Reggie Winch) dreams of being a top athlete. While in training for a running competition, a couple of bullies hurl Sammy's lucky t-shirt through a science lab window where an accident results in it gaining super strength. Sammy retrieves the t-shirt and tries to use it to win the race but things don't go according to plan. In 'Soapbox Derby' (1957), set in London, a teenaged Michael Crawford makes his movie debut. The Battersea Bats and the Victoria Victors, two rival gangs of children, are getting ready for an upcoming soapbox derby. When the Victors learn of a new car design created by the Bats they try to get their hands on it before the big race. In 'The Sky Bike' (1967) a bumbling inventor hopes to win a contest with his new creation - a flying bicycle. With the help of his young friend can he win the prize?
