And the Children Shall Lead

First, a fact check. And the Children Shall Lead, contrary to a couple of posters, first ran on PBS's Wonderworks series not on HBO. It aired for the first time on PBS on 4 January, 1985.

Like so many of the programmes that aired on Wonderworks, including The Girl From the Limberlost, an updated version of the Canterville Ghost, The Chronicles of Narnia, Jacob Have I Loved You, and Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss these TV movies were a coproduction between WQED-Pittsburgh, KCET-Los Angeles, KTCA-St. Paul/Minneapolis, WHRO-Hampton-Norfolk/Virginia, South Carolina Educational Television, WETA-Washington, D. C. and KERA-Dallas/Fort Worth and Disney; The Chronicles of Narnia were done with the BBC. All of them are more than worth checking out.
