Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [DVD]

Product Information

The colour reproduction and sound is almost as impressive as the film Zulu and i donot think there are many films on Blu Ray as fine as this one. The Blu-ray carries over virtually all of the supplements from 2003's two-disc Special Edition DVD starting with a sing-along.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a 1968 American-British musical- fantasy film directed by Ken Hughes, produced by Albert R. With its clever tunes (including the Oscar-nominated title song), marvellous cast and enchanting storyline, this delightful romp is lots of fun and simply "toot sweet" to pass up! Stanley Unwin, Barbara Windsor, Ken Hughes, Robert Helpmann, Peter Arne, Roald Dahl, Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Anna Quayle, Heather Ripley, Gert Fröbe, James Robertson Justice, Victor Maddern, Albert R. On 24 February 2004, a few months after MGM released a two-disc "Special Edition" DVD package of the film, Varèse Sarabande reissued a newly remastered soundtrack album without the dialogue tracks, restoring the original 1968 LP format.As expected, this offers all of the film's musical numbers with accompanying lyrics that change colors so the singer can follow along. Remembering Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with Dick Van Dyke" (25:58) showcases a then-current interview with the actor about his experiences making the film. As it is to be expected the sound reproduction is magnificent in 7-1 Theatre Surround and the clarity and sharpness of picutre is almost perfect.

It is still an emotional event when Chitty makes her first appearence in the film and seeing GEN11 almost jump out of the screen in this Blu Ray transfer makes my memories of seeing the film back in 1968 that more special.Often, musical numbers have a different feel from their surroundings, but these ones display just as much creativity and imagination as the dramatic scenes. It has memorable numbers, staggering production design, and a sense of whimsy that's reflected in its cast. Even today at 30 years old I still have a laugh at the King and Queen and how he keeps tryng to bump her off. An educational PC game titled Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventure in Tinkertown was released in October 1996. The second half of the picture works much better, which is unusual, since many musicals have a strong first act to which the second can't compare ( The Sound of Music, Funny Girl, and Fiddler on the Roof immediately come to mind).

Mattel Toys produced a replica with different features, while Aurora produced a detailed hobby kit of the car. Unable to do so, he kidnaps Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries), thinking him to be the creator of Chitty.

Caractacus Potts is an oddball inventor who has never had much luck getting any of his inventions to go anywhere.
