Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Chitty Chitty - FUN FUN !! Feb 13 2004
By Thoms-Mom
Format:DVD
I kept hearing from my friends who have young children (2 - 5 year olds) that their children loved this movie, so I decided to finally buy it and check it out for my 2.5 year old son. He loves it and so do I. It has all the important components for a fun family/childrens movie:

1. The Music: It's fun and gets my son up and dancing around the room. Also the words are catchy and easy for children to learn (although Chitty can be tricky for the little ones :-)

2. Story line: It's really fun and easy to follow. Anything with a car, let alone a flying car rates high with my son.

3. Children: The children in the story are sweet and respectful. Since there is a boy and a girl not only does my son like it, but his little friend (a girl) also relates.

I have a lot of "dusty" DVD's that I wish I could return, but I'm confident that you won't regret spending $'s on this one and making part of your family DVD/VHS collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish there were more of them. Jan 28 2013

It's old and hokey and my little grand daughter adores it. The music is bright, the story entertaining and the dancing really good. We have watched it so many times now that I feel I could recite it. Not easy in these days to find a movie for a tiny which entertains and doesn't frighten - we even giggle at evil Baron Bomburst.
