List 62: LCA, EB and similar Educational films


This is a list of movies produced by The Learning Company (LCA, later Highgate Pictures), Encyclopaedia Britannica (Encyclopædia Britannica, EB Films, previously ERPI Classroom films) and similar companies. Mainly 70s and 80s. Work in progress. Might be few films with bibs. And many early movies (40s) might be lost. After finding Robbers, Rooftops and Witches (rating 10), there are many movies on YouTube (some coming soon, also on my other blogs). Not to be confused with "The Phoenix Learning Group", though they sell some LCA movies. Most links are wrong but posts exist.

Robbers, Rooftops and Witches /Antaeus (LCA) Aired in CBS Library 1982 s3e1, rating 10

Summer of My German Soldier (pictured) other company, currently rating 4, f/m but needs to be updated, soon, rating ~6-7
