-Comment: One boy in a white/blue striped short sailor suit, matching collar, very long dark blue scarf, light blue pants, no dickey and a flat straw hat, 2 girls in historical clothing, also with collars, one with a poke bonnet, and a boy in red pajamas of the 1980s. Also at least one other boy and a woman (mom).

I found this by coincidence during a completetly unrelated Google image search. I bet nobody heard of these films before. No entry at IMDb. There are 9 different historical films (each about 15 minutes), but I don't know the others and don't assume sailor suit scenes elsewehere (though interesting historical clothing. Not sure if also kids in other films). Directed by Tom Ward. The pics above are from a dream scene with time travelling, so even fewer scenes with sailor suits, but more than half of this short film #9. Set in 1750s-1983. For grades 4-5. Can be watched online at

Rating 4-5. Quite interesting, also the hats and the style of this films.
