Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is too long. I enjoyed the gags, like the cut to intermission as the car drives off a cliff, or the third car accident in the same location with the same characters and they play out the same rescue as a well-rehearsed routine. and Dick van Dyke handing a staff to a suit of armour
Roald Dahl did some screenwriting, cannot miss that distinctive touch (mild racism + slurs). seeing the Vulgarian childcatcher and immediately thinking of Brad Dourif
I was mildly zooted starting Hundreds of Beavers and spent the early part of the movie just thinking âI canât believe this a real thing that got made.â
I wasnât busting a gut or anything, no âlaughing out loud,â but it was funny! And very creative! Iâll give it that!
I just mostly think about how it did everything it did with a small cast for $150K, then wonder how much something like Space Jam 2 or Looney Tunes Back in Action or other sorta live action cartoons cost. Wild shit.
Edit: I forgot to say I saw it because itâs free on Tubi, Roku and Pluto TV, so get on it if you havenât yet!
