Halas & Batchelor: Charley Junior's Schooldays (1949) | BFI National Archive

'The COI Collection Volume Eight: Your Children and You' is available on 2-disc BFI DVD from 15 April - www.bfi.org.uk/...
Charley Junior's Schooldays was the seventh in a series of eight public information films designed to convey key facts about the Labour government's social reforms in the immediate postwar period. Here, animation company Halas & Batchelor's trademark fusion of clarity of expression and humour is the vehicle for some quite dense information about the proposed radical reforms to the British schools system. The changes were first conceived in the Education Act 1944, devised by Conservative education minister Rab Butler.

I love how it's available in Full 1080p HD . Oh the late 1940's!

Whast happened to imaginative films from Britain, all we do now is contempory drama of quality period drama. It's good to have quality but overall British films are unadventurous.
