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

I bought this movie for my 2.5-year old son, after he fell in love with the original version of Mary Poppins movie. Now, he cannot have enough of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and all the features that this magical car has. He loves the music and songs, as well as the story line. It's a great movie to watch for the whole family once in a while.
