Behind the scenes and interviews with the stars of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Some of the start of the programme is missing. Includes broadcast advertising breaks.
It's funny that the commercials we used to fast forward through 30 years ago become hilariously fun to watch when we find them on VHS decades later! My cousins and I found a movie filmed off TV in the 70's kicking around my uncle's office... we wound up fast forwarding through THE MOVIE so we could laugh at the commercials! :D
Oral b have always been extra with their ads havnt they ..like why did she have to throw her normal one off a mountain and where did the ochastra come from ??? Hower the yellow pages one was always my fav as a 90s kid haha 😊
my grandma is in her 90's and my son is 8. we have sat with 4 generations watching and singing. I'm 30 and it makes me feel like a child again watching it. It's one of those films that will always be watched through being passed down and it still holds up in 2023 as a good film.
This was THE most memorable movie of my childhood. Saw it in the theaters when it came out, had the Corgi toy car, parents owned and played the record for me. Such memories. So sorry to learn that filming it was traumatic for Heather Ripley! Acting life is tough on a kid I'm sure.
I could have written this comment the same exact way. Everything just as was said here. I saws the movie when it came out. I also had a pop up book. I also had the Corgi Chitty, but it was the Match Box car sized one. I had to spend my own money to get it, so I couldn't afford the Bigger one then. I still have what's left of it after all these years. All my other Corgi cars ended up going to my son, and his mother threw them all out. I had a Green Hornet car, that today would be worth around $1500, as well as the Batmobile and Bat boat and others. Someone in the family should still have all the old records from back then too, and among them, the Chitty movie soundtrack album. Also at the present time, Sally Ann Howes (Truly Scrumptious) past away a few days ago. And, Dick Van Dyke is still alive and kicking.
Saw it in the cinema with parents must have been 4 years old didn't understand much of it but the imagery is unforgettable. Had the car and and the LP record of the music soundtrack but not the book for some reason that was the closest you could get to seeing the movie again you had to use your imagination in those days.@@hoozerob yes had similar thing with my stuff mainly comics mother threw them out some where no. 1 editions quite valuable
@@soupdragon151 It was a movie, where it seemed like, each time you watched it, you noticed something that you didn't before. It's strange that Benny Hill, of all people played in a mainly child's movie. Also, a then, future rock star, was in the movie too as a child actor extra. That was none other than Phil Collins.
"Hushabye Mountain" will forever be a sweetly classic song from all of our childhoods. There's just something so haunting about it, but there's also something so purely wholesome about it, too. It's such a beautifully written masterpiece.
I’ve dealt with severe anxiety since I was a child and Hushabye Mountain was the one thing that helped me sleep at night. I now play it for my children. Even sing it to them. Dick Van Dyke was the father I never had. Absolutely LOVE that song.
This movie was one of the highlights of my childhood I can’t put into words how much I loved this film, watching this documentary is invoking a profound longing and nostalgia with in me. I want my childhood back🥹… (being an adult is overrated).
I've just learnt the very sad news of the passing of Sally Howes. Such a very big part of my childhood memories and absolutely loved and still do love this movie and the memories it holds for me of being taken out to the movie theatre at the age of 4 by my cousin Jenifer and thus discovered the joys of the movie world and a love affair with movies which still carries on to this day. Thank you for the wonderful memories x
One of my favorite movies ever. I was nine years old and we saw it at the drive in. Back then they replayed the movie again for latecomers and we stayed to see it twice. I too was frightened by the child catcher, I rooted for Caratacus and I fell in Love with Truly Scrumptious. But most importantly, I learned to dance the 'Old Bamboo', much to the distress of my own children years later. Lol I imagine this TV special was filmed around 2004, because Adrian said at that time that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was 36 years ago, whereas now it would be 52 years ago. But I remember being at the drive in like it was yesterday.
So this was from late 2004-early 2005. Amazing! I was 10 when I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the theater and I'll tell you I scared to death of the Child Catcher!!! The Musicbox scene, especially was awesome, and when DVD joined in with his Truly Scrumptious interweave was mind-blowing! The reason I'm here now is that that song pops into my head from time to time and I used to mix it up with Mary Poppins! It took me a while before I figured out which song was from which movie! When it does, I'm off to UA-cam to hear it! Thanks!!!! Chitty was a fantastic flick for this little kid to see!
I adore this film to this day. I believe it makes the top 5 of THE best musicals and I'm still amazed and delighted by the wind-up doll scene. Brilliant!
One of my favourite films. I rented it from Blockbuster and then never returned it... just paid blockbuster the fees for it and still have it now. Oh boy. Great film.
Thank you so very much for putting up this video. This is one of my favorite childhood movies. Now I understand why nostalgia is such a powerful force.
I saw this picture in the theatre when it first came out. I was four. I started primary day school in 1969 with a CCBB painted tin lunchbox and thermos. The thing now costs $400 on ebay. Anyway, I love this movie, so magical, so enthralling. Thanks for sharing this, Steve.
Loved this movie as a kid. And yes, the child catcher was scary. I still have a crush on Sally Ann Howes. She is my childhood crush. Classy and beautiful.
Anything that puts a smile on Dick van Dyke's face is wonderful, he is entertainment royalty far as I am concerned and Chitty was a wonderful movie. Glad this moment was created for them all.
It remains one of the most beloved musical fairy tale movies of all time. I still like it, here in my late fifities wallowing in nostalgia. "Me Ol' Bamboo" is the best for me; such a fun and well executed number. Fantastic sequence. I skipped the commercials here in this upload but I can see how some people will enjoy them if they watched this _Making Of_ broadcast when it originally aired 20 years ago.
My dad took me to see this I969 when I was four he was English and then he disappeared and I never saw him again. I always remember with good moments ✨ my dad taking me to this move and a train ride after ward's. GOD BLESS 🙌
It's 2021 me and my 12 year old daughter loved getting to see all the behind the scene peeks we got from this. I often thought the little girl in this movie often looked rather sadder than she should quite often and wondered why. As an adult I had rather convinced myself I was projecting until seeing this.
I first saw this movie on VHS back in the late 90s when I was a child. Immediately captured me and has been a lifelong favorite since then. Lovely to see behind the scenes like this and see the actors all grown up. Thank you for sharing!
Saw this movie when I was 6 years old, and for years afterwards when it came on the evening movie on television. It changed my childhood...I was determined to be an inventor. Almost 60 now, and still will watch the entire movie in a heartbeat. (And like everyone else, was scared to death of the Child-catcher. 😅)
I saw this in the theater back in '68, and I loved it. My favorite scene is the music box doll bit, as I find it to be mesmerizing, strange, fetishistic, evocative, and adorable. Howes' performance for that part is flawless. I watched it several times over the past day, and I cannot even detect so much as an eye blink! She must have practiced over many, many hours to perfect the act.
Dear Sally Ann I fell for her the second I saw her in the film. I have this movie on Blu Ray now and it has a viewing regularly. RIP Sally. Love you Truly X I'll see you on 'Hushabye Mountain' by and by X
Oh and Grandpa has a special place in my heart along with all actors in this gem of a movie...-ahhh... My go to happy place of an owned movie I can access at anytime, thank God for the technology to make that happen. Yep, yep, grateful and super thankful and thoroughly enjoy every watch of #CCBB ;) #RIP @ #TrulyScrumptious @Steve Jobs ;) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It makes me sad now that little Heather was so alone. No child should ever have to go through any of that. And it’s as though she never came home, because her home had changed so drastically while she was away. I know this is no real personal comfort, but she did such a good job playing the sweet little girl, and was so thrilled about the car and delivered every line, with such whole-hearted enthusiasm, that this film was a wonder to my sister and me when we watched it on VHS as kids during the 1990’s and early 2000’s. I know my sister loved that little girl particularly, and could relate to her. It would not have been the same without Heather playing that part. You would never have known that such inner pain and turmoil was going on. But, for all those joyful childhood memories of mine and my sister, I would have preferred if Heather never had to leave her home. And that she could’ve played with other kids her age. Thank you to Ilsa Marston for being a friend to Heather during that time.
I like the part where he goes 1:00 "Whisper this in fron t of the children, but Chitty doesn't really fly". 😅😂🤣 And no doubt the precocious youngsters will respond that Chitty doesn't really fly in the movie either, if you pay attention. The flying scenes were all part of Prof. Caractacus Pott's whimsical tale that he made up to entertain the kids and Truly at the beach.
I love the commercial for soft -chews candy: a dour, middle-aged man sits in an office while staring at the camera, pops one in his mouth and chews it. And that's it. Magical!
it's 2023.. Dick Van Dyke is still around. Many others, Benny Hill, Sally Ann Howes, Robert Helpmann are all lost to time.. I was 5 years old when it came out and now I'm 60. Where did the time go..
I have it on DVD. I think I got it cause my ex-girlfriend had never seen it and I wanted her to. I have to admit that I was attracted to the Baroness despite her unpleasantness. And I do love Sally Ann Howes’ “Doll on a Music Box” number. I’d say some of the film could’ve been cut, but I’m definitely a fan.
As Mr. Van Dyke says, it was a rehearsal and therefore the kids would not have been on board, nor would there be a usable piece of film to use in the movie.
You can't even show all the film now I literally just watched it and they cut the line "when I first came here I was a midget" from the tall inventor to grandad. What a mess.
Great memories of this film, seeing it on the big screen. I think there was an intermission in the film just as Chitty goes off the cliff. Ice creams were sold by a lady from a tray hanging in front of her. Then soon back to the film. 😀
The inclusion of the British commercials is almost as good as the content itself
That's why I leave them in 😉
It's funny that the commercials we used to fast forward through 30 years ago become hilariously fun to watch when we find them on VHS decades later! My cousins and I found a movie filmed off TV in the 70's kicking around my uncle's office... we wound up fast forwarding through THE MOVIE so we could laugh at the commercials! :D
They look exactly like US commercials. Where's the joy?
@@kruszerMe too😅🇬🇧

@@hoozerob That's a shame that she threw out such a treasure. Somewhere my family has that record, which I bet is a collector's item too.

Is an adult lullaby it's really beautiful
:) 👍
RIP Sally Anne Howes. You won’t ever be forgotten. Truly scrumptious.🙏☀️🌻🇬🇧🙏Dec.2021.
This movie shaped my love for musical theatre at a young age and I'll forever be grateful for that. The definition of nostalgia for me.
This movie was one of the highlights of my childhood I can’t put into words how much I loved this film, watching this documentary is invoking a profound longing and nostalgia with in me. I want my childhood back🥹… (being an adult is overrated).
Im just weeping at these adverts FOCUS doesn't even exist anymore 😂😂😂😂
That music box scene was something
I've just learnt the very sad news of the passing of Sally Howes.

What time during 1968 was this released at the time I was only 3 and therefore can't remember.all I know is I saw this at a theater.
10:23 It's something else to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang drive in the present world with modern cars.
So this was from late 2004-early 2005.
Amazing!
I was 10 when I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the theater and I'll tell you I scared to death of the Child Catcher!!!

I've enjoyed it for over 50 years now. I hope you and your family do, also.
Never will anyone in this lifetime, take chitty chitty bang bang away, absolutely love the movie, until the day I die.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much for putting up this video. This is one of my favorite childhood movies. Now I understand why nostalgia is such a powerful force.

American here. Loving the advertisements.
Quality movie. Character defining. Iconic.
I think every child has a movie that still enraptures them well into adulthood. This movie is mine. Still a favourite. Bought the blue ray!
Loved this movie as a kid. And yes, the child catcher was scary. I still have a crush on Sally Ann Howes. She is my childhood crush. Classy and beautiful.
Mine too! Lol
Anything that puts a smile on Dick van Dyke's face is wonderful, he is entertainment royalty far as I am concerned and Chitty was a wonderful movie. Glad this moment was created for them all.

I had mixed reactions when I heard of his death. Obviously sad for the man. But happy for the children.
I first saw this movie on VHS back in the late 90s when I was a child. Immediately captured me and has been a lifelong favorite since then. Lovely to see behind the scenes like this and see the actors all grown up. Thank you for sharing!
This movie is such a large part of my life. I've probably seen it a few hundred times
Im very happy with this reunion!!!
I am a motorcycle riding rock and roll loving truck driver who loves this movie. It doesn't matter when it's on I'll watch it and I own it
Saw this movie when I was 6 years old, and for years afterwards when it came on the evening movie on television. It changed my childhood...I was determined to be an inventor.

Update on Chitty: It's in Wellington NZ, in Peter Jackson's garage
Im surprised that this movie didn’t make it into AFI’s top 100 films of all time.
thanks fo reminding me of the Telford boxing day sale. Completely forgot about it.
I have watched this in 2021..and It's in My Favourite movie list❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this movie
I just watched it! 😁
One of my favorite movies ever love it ❤
From a child, I have so much love for this movie in my heart and I will never forget this movie as long as I live. Thank you to all the cast.

I can't listen to "Hushabye Mountain" without tearing up!
Anna Quayle, who played the child hating duchess, died in 2019.
Karma triumphs. BTW, she was a baroness not a dutchess
Love The cast
I might have been born in 2003, but because of my grandparents, this movie holds a special spot in my heart and life
I sat and watched the movie 3 times in the theater in 1968. I called my mother each time to tell her I was going to watch it again, don't pick me up.
That “Doll on a Music Box” dance influenced Hittin’/Poppin’ and Bboys everywhere!
This is my favourite film of all
A movie made for 3 generations
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for posting!!!!!

0:01 Awesome Behind The Scenes Look About Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang The Movie. Thanks Mate. X
All round best film ever made in my opinion. It has everything.
I always loved Lionel the grandpa. He was great
Loved this movie as a child. Happiest memories ever
I am so happy that I had family members that made sure I saw this movie I saw it for the first time at probably 3 or 4 years old in 2003 or 2004
heather could make anyone smile, the star of the show
LOOOVE THIS MOVIE!!! .-)
Oh, these advertisements... not seen them for long. And this making was long overdue. So many moments from movie came rushing
Never lost, always remembered.
I love the commercial for soft -chews candy: a dour, middle-aged man sits in an office while staring at the camera, pops one in his mouth and chews it. And that's it. Magical!
Watching in 2023, these adverts must nigh on 20 years old, and I remember most of them as well...🙈
it's 2023.. Dick Van Dyke is still around. Many others, Benny Hill, Sally Ann Howes, Robert Helpmann are all lost to time.. I was 5 years old when it came out and now I'm 60. Where did the time go..
I have it on DVD. I think I got it cause my ex-girlfriend had never seen it and I wanted her to. I have to admit that I was attracted to the Baroness despite her unpleasantness.

The first movie I ever saw in a movie theater. It was the same day as the first moon landing too.
I love how happy Dick is for everyone and what they're up to presently
And love Sally's personality
4:54 and 22:58 for anyone who wants to skip the commercials.
I did not expect my local Shopping Centre to be advertised in this video. Haha.
Love it.
Damn this is a new level of ads on youtube
That child catcher scared the s?!# out of me!
WHY WASN'T 8:00MIN IN THE MOVIE???? THAT SOUNDS AMAZING, AND PERFECT HOW HE AND THE CHILDREN WERE SAFE AFTER THE CRASH!!!!
As Mr. Van Dyke says, it was a rehearsal and therefore the kids would not have been on board, nor would there be a usable piece of film to use in the movie.
RIP the woman in it Truly
1 was 5 when this film was out
“Did you see that puff” - oh the commercials we can’t broadcast now 🤣
You can't even show all the film now I literally just watched it and they cut the line "when I first came here I was a midget" from the tall inventor to grandad. What a mess.
Your Boxing Day sales sound like Presidents' Day here.
i remember this movie on VHS back in the early 90's
why would you downvote a documentary on chitty chitty bang bang?!
Great memories of this film, seeing it on the big screen. I think there was an intermission in the film just as Chitty goes off the cliff. Ice creams were sold by a lady from a tray hanging in front of her. Then soon back to the film. 😀
What a reunion! 🙂
ooooh the memories!
The commercials with the Puffs followed by the Mattresses and the Toot Sweets ...
Great film and loved the stage show saw in 2003. Also have the corgi model.
it also has the same bond villain 🤣
At least people can watch this with children.
Thanks you could have edited out the original ITV adverts though lol
The adverts have their own nostalgia to me.
Do they know it’s like a bond film because it was both written by Ian Fleming
