Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A classic
Who cannot add classics to their movie collections? We grew up watching this movie every year. The Child Catcher is pretty scary, almost as scary as the Witch on the Wizard of Oz! And yes, I have that movie too!
Rating: - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Great to purchase this nostalgic film on DVD. Excellent reproduction of an all-time great family film.
Rating:  - DVD full of skips
I was extremely disappointed with this Chitty Chitty Bang Bang DVD. There are many skips, although it was advertised as new. And the skips are most prevalent on the songs which are the best part of the movie.
Rating:  - Forgot lots of it. Quite disappointed now
I only remembered a song or two, but I remembered humming them quite a bit, so I thought I'd get it for my kids.
Ugh! It's too long, too pointless, and takes too long to develop. Well, that could be forgivable, but I forgot about that child kidnapper. The minute he hit the screen, I remembered the nightmares he gave me. I'm back in therapy now (ha ha), but I'm not sure I can do that to my under 7 year old kids. Also, there's the whole the baron is trying to kill the baroness side plot, ... Read More
Rating: - Classic!
The same great movie you saw as a kid. I have bought it for several kids ages 3-10 and they all love it. Surprising to me was how many adults never saw it!
