Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
This remastered, pan-and-scan 30th-anniversary edition of that kiddie-car caper is flawed but solid family fare. It retains a quaint charm while some of the songs--including the title tune--are quite hummable. A huge plus is Dick Van Dyke, who is extremely appealing as an eccentric inventor around the turn of the century. With nimble fingers and a unique way of looking at the world, he invents for his children a magic car that floats and flies. Or does he? The special effects are tame by today's standards, and the film is about 20 minutes too long--but its enthusiasm charms. The script was cowritten by Roald Dahl and based on the novel by Ian Fleming, best known for his James Bond adventures. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Very Pleased
I received this product in record time. I was very pleased at the prompt delivery.
Great Movie
This is our second copy of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Our 3 year old daughter loves it so much we wore out first copy out. This DVD came with a great book and I'm excited to watch the extra features. It's a long movie, but the music is wonderful and so enjoyable to watch!
Move over MARY POPPINS-Dick Van Dyke's finest two hours
Move over MARY POPPINS...CHITTY is a marvelously entertaining musical...one of the highlights being the outstanding performance of Dick Van Dyke. Watch it LETTERBOXED or don't watch it at all. The ME OL' BAMBOO segment has got to be one of the greatest musical numbers ever. Van Dyke deserved more recognition for this performance. The rest of the production as well, is stellar. An under-appreciated 60's era musical classic.
