An absolute classic musical! Has to be seen by all. Very cute with catchy songs and one of the funniest scenes in movie history: "You're my little chu chi face!"

I've been looking forward to seeing this film. (Yes, I'm guilty as charged: I've never seen it until now!) I was late watching Mary Poppins as well, and yet when I saw it, I watched it three times within the same two weeks. I feel like this one's gonna be the same! I absolutely adore it. This film couldn't possibly have failed... Roald Dahl is one of the script writers, Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman are the songwriters, and it stars Dick Van Dyke. A winning combination if ever I saw one! And it lives up to all my expectations. It's a feel good, family-friendly, fun-filled, wonderful, funny and charming work of art. Don't listen to Lee Brown. I don't know what he was on when he watched it. For me, it's an absolute masterpiece. There's not many films that will keep me entertained for more than 90 minutes. But at a whopping 2 hours and 25 minutes, I can honestly say, I wasn't bored for a second. Go ahead and watch it, and thank me later. Warning: You WILL be singing the title's song all night long!

Truly Scrumptious 💞 This is the first time I've rewatched this since it was my favorite movie when I was 5. It's better than I remembered. (Though I had no idea it was 2 ½ hours long and had an intermission!? Was I really that patient at 5? I was also today years old when I learned the Vulgaria storyline (which makes up ¾s of the movie) is a fictional embedded narrative that Potts makes up for his children and not the original plotline. Also, the Child Catcher scared me to death for YEARS.) The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang / James Bond connection: - The original book was a children's story written by Ian Fleming for his son. (Fleming is the creator and writer of the James Bond books). - The film is produced by Albert R Broccoli, who co-produced the Bond films series. - One of the supporting actors (in addition to Benny Hill) is Gert Fröbe, who also played Auric Goldfinger in the movie Goldfinger. - Previously Ken Hughes, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang director, directed the original Casino Royale, a spoof of the James Bond character. - Ken Hughes also co-wrore the screenplay of Fleming's book with...Roald Dahl. Seen on Tubi.

Bonkers kids film; not really a classic, but it has a certain charm if you're in the right mood.
