A Great Family Classic

I bought this online to upgrade from my VHS copy. When it arrived, I was a little disappointed to have received a different publication of this movie than what was and is still currently shown on Best Buy's website (no indication that there is a different design version nor is there the option to choose when ordering). I didn't even know there was an alternative cover design, and unfortunately it's worse than the original. The cover shows a well-attempted effort to redesign the title into a typograph but the rest of the layout is very poor. The design is outdated and cheesy & I would have rather received the DVD with the original cover shown on the site ...the one I was expecting & didn't get. But I suppose I can't complain too much since I got it on sale for $1.99 And despite the awful cover design, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG is a great family classic that would fit well in anyone's movie library and collection.

They don't make them like this anymore. Was lucky to see it in the theaters when it first premiered. It was about the same time as Oliver came out. Musicals... and family fun. Written by the man who brought us James Bond... which I've always thought was really cool. He created the story for his son. I'm so glad he shared it with the rest of us. So many great characters not to mention the fantastic car itself. I got this on DVD and Blu-ray to do a comparison of the two formats.

with clarity like this,i mean, SUPER clear pictures of scenery, close ups, group shots, (obviously a fantastic original print was used for this ) along with a robust "fills the whole speakers up kind of sound", it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE not to become completely immersed in this movie. It's a great kid's story, but i'm far from a child, and was totally enjoying myself through the whole thing. Prepare to sit down turn it on, and be engrossed for it's entire length. I opened the container and seen an old expired coupon inside, thinking.."uhoh...", but was (as i stated earlier) completely satisfied after i popped this sucker in.

So glad I could find this available at Best Buy. With it being such an old film it’s hard to find in stock but as soon as I found it I without a doubt decided to purchase it for my granddaughter. She loves it and I won’t hesitate to check Best Buy In then future when searching other movies

Every child wants to ride or drive a flying car

What child has not wanted to ride or even drive a flying car? Every child is captivated by the wonder of flight; and although piloting an airplane requires difficult and expensive certification, every adult can drive a car and every child has ridden in one. A child can easily see his parents, and then himself, at the wheel of a car that just happens to be able to fly. Thus, the basic premise of this movie is perfect for both children and adults.
This movie's story, though, is a little oversimplified.
- The primary action is relegated to an imagination sequence--a way to avoid attempting to reconcile the sequence with real life.
- The main character has to play a father figure, a leading man, and the comic relief, all rolled into one. The great Danny Kaye could, with considerable difficulty, handle the latter two roles, but I never remember him trying to be a father figure at the same time.
- The female lead's role is rather passive. She plays the role of would-be mother very well, but helpmate to her would-be husband not so much.
- The children are given roles with too little intelligence or creativity for their age.
The scenery is beautiful; I think the movie was mostly filmed on location in England, France, and perhaps Germany.
The title song is stupendous--the kind that you have difficulty getting out of your head. The other songs are less memorable.
- In real life, Chitty Bang Bang was a famous early race car designed and driven by Count Louis Zborowski, son of a racing driver and an American heiress.
I must point out that I paid only $5 for the Blu-Ray/DVD combo on sale. It was certainly worth that price. I would have been more reticent about paying full retail price for this.
