This remastered, pan-and-scan 30th-anniversary edition of that kiddie-car caper is flawed but solid family fare. It retains a quaint charm while some of the songs--including the title tune--are quite hummable. A huge plus is Dick Van Dyke, who is extremely appealing as an eccentric inventor around the turn of the century. With nimble fingers and a unique way of looking at the world, he invents for his children a magic car that floats and flies. Or does he? The special effects are tame by today's standards, and the film is about 20 minutes too long--but its enthusiasm charms. The script was cowritten by Roald Dahl and based on the novel by Ian Fleming, best known for his James Bond adventures. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 great DVD November 9, 2009
H. Heap (utah)
My little girl loves this movie and she isn't even two yet! She asks to watch it every night and wants to lay day and cuddle together. The DVD itself was in perfect condition, and the delivery was prompt.

I hardly know what to say about this movie. As a Disney musical, I suppose it hits the mark. Fun, catchy theme song; dance moves reminiscent of "Mary Poppins". However, having first listened to the audiobook read by Andrew Sachs, we were disappointed. The movie only vaguely resembles the actual story-line of the book, and I'm not sure why they did that. The original story is vastly superior, and the audiobook version is superb. Pop it in while you drive around; both you and your elementary-age children will enjoy it.
Watch the movie for fun, but don't ignore the book because you've seen the movie. It's apples and oranges.

TEAM LORD (Norton, Ma USA)
I loved this movie as a child myself & still do so I thought I'd give it a shot with my 3 year old..( that acts like she's 6 ) LOL...Anyway this is a great story & adventure for the whole family...Highly recomended... :0)
Great movie, dissappointing DVD September 12, 2009
Mike T (United States)
I loved this movie since the first time I saw it as a child. It fits right in with the Disney classics Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
The bad is the Full screen DVD. I just do not understand why this movie can not be released in widescreen. Pan and scan drives me crazy. How much can it cost to produce a widescreen version of this movie?
