Spaghetti war movie, what's that then, two teams throwing linguine at each other or firing lasagne bombs?

Yes, I'm taking the piss before anyone points out what it actually is, it's Friday, chill out!

Actually it sounds a bit of fun.

CHILDREN S FILM FOUNDATION COLLECTION: OUTER SPACE
Supersonic Saucer | Kadoyng | The Glitterball

Three intergalactic adventures from the archives of the Children's Film Foundation land on DVD for the very first time.

For over 30 years the Children's Film Foundation produced quality entertainment for young audiences, employing the cream of British filmmaking talent. Newly transferred from the best available elements held in the BFI National Archive, these much-loved and fondly remembered films finally return to the screen - after many years out of distribution - in this specially curated DVD release from the BFI.

Supersonic Saucer (1956) tells the heart-rending story of Meba, an adorable baby flying saucer from Venus with extraordinary extra-terrestrial powers who arrives on an exploratory mission to earth. Adopted by a group of children, he helps the youngsters prevent a robbery at their school.

In the light-hearted and colourful Kadoyng (1972) it looks as if nothing can stop the village of Byway being demolished to make way for the new motorway, until a jovial visitor with an unusual appendage descends from the planet Stoikal and helps a trio of children foil the construction work.

One of the perennial favourite CFF films, the award-winning The Glitterball (1977) sees two young boys come to the aid of a tiny spherical alien trying to return to its mothership, pursued by both Air Force and a devious petty crook (played by TV veteran Ron Pember).

Special Features

Brand new High Definition transfers of all the films
Fully illustrated booklet with extensive credits and newly commissioned essays by Harley Cokeliss, Alex Davidson and Vic Pratt

Absolutely no idea.

I hope this new Dracula is a success as Universal want to relaunch all their classic monsters if it does well and there is an audience for them.
