The Childrens Film Foundation Collection - Weird Adventure

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.
