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.
"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 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.@@jerry-skids 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.
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
I have a n affinity with this film as my dad was one of two people to make Truly Scrumptious's car the engine and chassis. He worked for Ford Motor Company at the time of the films making
I read about how it had a reliable driveline with a 1960s Ford V8. There were multiple Chittys, because the "boat" version was not the same one that flew or drove. Did the road car have a 289 in it? 302?
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
Ohhhhhh the child catcher scared ME SO much as a child. Nothing has scared me more or left such an impact on me. Nightmares for soooo long. Great movie 🎥
I was 8 when I sat in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when it was on show in the showroom of Vincents garage in Reading where my grandfather worked. It was taken to various places to promote the film.

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.
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..
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?

Still my ultimate comfort song❤

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.

Thank You to EVERYONE who was a part of making this movie.Great Job! My childhood favorite and still enjoy it to this day.A joy

I can't listen to "Hushabye Mountain" without tearing up!
All round best film ever made in my opinion. It has everything.
great to see again thankyou.
I always loved Lionel the grandpa. He was great
That “Doll on a Music Box” dance influenced Hittin’/Poppin’ and Bboys everywhere!
Loved this movie as a child. Happiest memories ever
I've never seen British ads, and from the 90s or early 00s?? So great.
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
A movie made for 3 generations
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ohhhhhh the child catcher scared ME SO much as a child. Nothing has scared me more or left such an impact on me. Nightmares for soooo long. Great movie 🎥
Im surprised that this movie didn’t make it into AFI’s top 100 films of all time.
Wonderful movie and cast loved it
Awesome and amazing movie love it and all the cast was so wonderful to.
Great film and loved the stage show saw in 2003. Also have the corgi model.
Do they know it’s like a bond film because it was both written by Ian Fleming
Oh, these advertisements... not seen them for long. And this making was long overdue. So many moments from movie came rushing
These commercials are great
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
R.I.P Sally Ann Howes
I was 8 when I sat in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when it was on show in the showroom of Vincents garage in Reading where my grandfather worked. It was taken to various places to promote the film.
LOOOVE THIS MOVIE!!! .-)
Never lost, always remembered.
I ❤ Dick Van Dyke it still alive love this too.
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.
This is one of the best movies ever produced for families. It's epic, it's wizard.
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. 😀
heather could make anyone smile, the star of the show
Awesome
I love your little Mary Poppins image (I don’t know what they’re called)
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.
i remember this movie on VHS back in the early 90's
Love it.
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..
Update on Chitty: It's in Wellington NZ, in Peter Jackson's garage
Anna Quayle, who played the child hating duchess, died in 2019.
Karma triumphs. BTW, she was a baroness not a dutchess
ooooh the memories!
