Before I die, I would love to see Hallmark make this as a musical animated ornament

It's a flawed film but with fun music, I'm a fan. I think the stage version actually improved it.
I had a little Corgi Chitty when I was a kid, it was so cute.Last edited by PNGwynne; Feb 21, '21, 10:17 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
Why flawed ?Comment

I don't care for the contrived "story" aspect of Vulgaria in the screenplay, and it throws the pacing off. I still enjoy the film.
In the musical, Vulgaria's espionage and theft is real and figures in the first act. The whole show thus has more impetus and urgency. But I like musicals.
Regarding the film, I've always thought Sally Ann Howes should have gone on to great things.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

The visual imagery of the guy in black gathering up the kids and putting them in the wagon haunted me as a kid. I remember as a child thinking “why are my parents letting me see this? Why is nobody stopping him?”
Now that I have a three year old grandson, I apply that nightmarish moment that I had to him when I’m watching something questionable and he’s in the room. Something may seem tame to my world-weary jaded eyes, but to a little kid trying to figure out the rules of the world, the imprint can be long-lived.Comment

Child Catcher totally freaked me out as a kid, but I was in love with the car so I held on for the ride.Comment

Love the movie, the car, the toys (Corgi, Stevenson Entertainment Group), the music, and the Broadway show, too. (Teamwork, makes a dream work!)

love it. the child catcher scared the hell out of me as a kid. i introduced my kids to it when they were little and they really liked it. it is a very long movie though
As an adult, well, Truly Scrumptious truly is. Beautiful womanComment

We just sold a 1968 Chitty pop-up book a few weeks ago on eBay...it was pretty cool.
