Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Review



Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will ALWAYS be a movie from my childhood that I love!
My mother introduced this film to my 2 oldest children when they were younger and they thought it was a really neat movie.
I’ll never forget my daughter telling the story really cool old car in the movie.

Recently, we had a chance to review the all-new remastered version of the movie on Blu-Ray.
Talk about an amazing picture.
My youngest is now in love with the movie as well and he’s only 2 and a half.

If you’ve never seen this film, here is a brief synopsis:
Based on the children’s book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car by Ian Fleming, the film tells the story of an eccentric professor (played by Dick Van Dyke) who invents wacky machinery, but can’t seem to make ends meet. When he invents a revolutionary car, a foreign government becomes interested in it, and resorts to skullduggery to get their hands on it. The all-time family classic evolves from there and viewers are taken on a magical ride with the professor and loveable motorcar.
