taken from CD Tracks 1-16 GRANPA 18 NURSERY RHYME 17 MAKE BELIEVE OVERTURE 19 THE CONQUEST OF SPACE
GRANPA first appeared as a picture book by John Burningham, winning the Kurt Maschler Award. In 1988, following their great success with THE SNOWMAN, TVC commenced production on the film of GRANPA, with the same creative team - Director Dianne Jackson, Producer John Coates, and Composer Howard Blake.
The NURSERY RHYME OVERTURE is a guessing game. It contains 18 well-known nursery rhyme tunes; one of these appears in two different places and two other tunes are played simultaneously, one against the other. Look for a list of the tunes in the correct order, hidden on this album. The overture is dedicated to Howard's daughter Catherine.
THE CONQUEST OF SPACE. Commissioned by Astra, Europe's first 16-channel television satellite, this large-scale concert piece graphically portrays the launching of the rocket, the ascent into space and an astral 'song for universal peace', starting quietly but building to a mighty conclusion in which all themes unite.

Make Believe (Featured on the 1988 UK PAL video for the 'Grandpa' animated film based on the award winning book by John Burningham, features the voice of Peter Ustinov as Grandpa and produced by the makers of 'The Snowman' animated movie. Running time approximately 30 minutes, picture sleeve. With no DVD release available for this title this is a video exclusive! PVC-4036A). Taken from the back of the video cover
GRANPA lives happily alone in his house and garden full of memories. Alone, that is, except for visits from Emily, his small granddaughter.
Emily and GRANPA together create their own fantasy world in which they turn the house into a Noah's Ark, fly a Spitfire, ride their chargers, swing from creepers in a mad chase through the jungle, meet a giant caterpillar and even catch a whale!
This endearing and moving animated story from the creators of "The Snowman" under the direction of Dianne Jackson will surely enchant children and adults of all ages.

Leaves are green and the grass, it is growing,
Leaves are gold and the grass, it is going
Breathe no sigh for the day that is parting,
Leaves are gold and the grass, it is going
Flowers bloom and the wind, it is blowing.
Weave worlds of make believe,
Share castles in the air.
Flowers fade and the wind, it is blowing.
Welcome spring and the year that is starting.
Leave worlds of make believe,
See to eternity.
Flowers fade and the wind, it is blowing.
