REVIEW

When I heard Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was coming to Blu-ray I had to see it in all it’s glory!  The movie was one of my favorite films as a youngster and I must have watched it HUNDREDS of times.  It reminds me of an era when things were simpler and more pleasurable.  Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was directed by Ken Hughes and produced by Albert R. Broccoli (co-producer of the James Bond series of films) back in 1968.  Being that the film is an older classic, I worried about the clarity of the conversion.  However, the  new remastered version with the 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio soundtrack brought the movie back to life in  superb detail. Every toot, tune,  dance number  and corny special effects that make the movie a timeless treasure transferred flawlessly!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Blu-ray is a visually stunning and entertaining  film the whole family can enjoy!  Share a little fun nostalgia with your children and pick up a copy today!
