![]() ![]() Now, normally, I'd concentrate on the book, but to be frank, the Disney film is superior in pretty much every way. The 1964 book of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, by Ian Fleming has little in common with the 1968 movie. Oh Chitty, you Chitty, Pretty Chitty Bang BangĪnd Chitty, in Chitty, Pretty Chitty Bang Bang The title theme from the movie goes something like this:Ĭhitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ("Chitty Chitty" was the engine, "Bang Bang" was the backfire.) It provided the archetype for future famous TV/movie cars like Herbie the Love Bug and KITT from " Knight Rider". It's interesting that seagoing captains had been anthropomorphizing their boats for centuries before the automobile came along, but writers only began taking the idea literally when cars gave everyone the chance to be captain of their very own vehicle.Ĭhitty Chitty Bang Bang was the semi- sentient car that took center stage in this 1968 movie and the Ian Fleming children's book it was based upon, so named for the sounds it made when it ran. ![]()
