Family Classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Released on Blu-Ray
We all love when one of our favorite classic family movies is re-released in Blu-Ray. I just learned last week that one reason Blu-Ray is so popular with families is that the discs cannot be scratched. Or so I’ve been told. That makes paying a bit more well worth the investment.
In Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, families everywhere can experience “fantasmagorical” adventures, legendary sing-alongs and magical moments like never before in this all-new remastered version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Blu-ray. Enjoy the fun of this family classic for the first time on Blu-ray disc with upgraded audio and new interactive games. An original version of the film on DVD will accompany the all-new remastered Blu-ray.
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.
