Friends and secret angels Corky and Loopy help street artist Sid enter a competition. They lend him a magic pencil to create incredible drawings in Angel Pavement. In Loveykins, Angela Bowling feeds her little Augustus with the finest cakes and sweets. Then watches as he grows bigger and bigger…

Quentin Blake is famous for spinning fabulous tales, and with Stefano Cabrera’s delightful new score they’ve never looked – or sounded – so good! These two films are part of CBBC’s Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures – and now you get to dive right in.

Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures was commissioned by BBC Children’s & Education and produced by Eagle Eye Drama in a co-production with Creative Conspiracy, in association with Spicy Acorn, Tchack and Kong Studio. The series is directed by Gerrit Bekers working to Eagle Eye’s creative director for animation Massimo Fenati with an original score by Stefano Cabrera.
