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. <I>--Rochelle O'Gorman</I>
Viewer Reviews
My older sister took me to see this movie in the theater when I was four. It is one of the first movies I remember seeing. Today, my four year old watched it with her father and I. Superb performances, and a storyline with real depth about a widower with two children who, as my mother used to say to me, "may not have had money, but was never poor." Both children and adults will enjoy this movie. It has something for everyone.
