Summary: Clunky Clunky Boom Boom
Comment: Unlike many one starred reviews, it was not the picture quality that I hated. IT WAS THE MOVIE ITSELF! Points being.
1. The romance between Truly and Caractus *whatever his name is* has no chemistry to it, it feels forced, and no offense but he *Carac- Dick Van Dyke* had about as much sex appeal as that "Ernest goes to where ever guy*
2. Plot holes: We never know quite why the Baroness hates children or why her husband is always trying to kill her
3. The Grandfather disappears from the time he's kidnapped till the time he's rescued. How did he escape, what was he doing in that room with all those old men for all that time?
4. The child catcher: Creepy [...] pedophile looking guy that if I was a kid watching this movie I would probably get nightmares. A Notable scene is where he leers down into the basement grateing "Lolliiipops.....Caandyyy". If those kids were stupid enough to believe this creep than maybe they deserved to be kidnapped.
****This Cars' a lemon avoid this movie, Watch Mary Poppins instead or Pete's Dragon.

Summary: Ignore all the one star reviews based on format.
Comment: This is a great movie classic. Ignore the stupid one star reviews based on format. If you like full screen then buy full screen. If you like widescreen they buy widescreen. Why are they buying something that they know will disappoint them and then give a one star review. This only hurts the movie that they claim they all love!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A classic
Comment: 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!

Summary: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Comment: Great to purchase this nostalgic film on DVD. Excellent reproduction of an all-time great family film.
Customer Rating:
Summary: DVD full of skips
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:

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
