My favourite part of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang though

is that it is 144 minutes long. And for the first two thirds of that it is a perfectly fucking normal movie. 

Like there’s a whole ninety minute movie which is like an inventor who loves his two kids and he wants to get them the thing from the junkyard that they want because it’ll be sold to be destroyed soon and he tries to make money but he can’t and he meets the sweetmaker’s daughter and he doesn’t like her and she doesn’t like him but then they get closer and it looks like the car his kids wanted is going to be ruined but then he accidentally makes a sweet and he and the sweetmaker’s daughter try to sell it to the sweetmaker but then it backfires and he’s sad because he’s going to disappoint his kids but he decides he can’t let them down and he goes out and is able to get the money at the fair and he rebuilds the car and takes his kids and the sweetmaker’s daughter on a day out in his newly fixed up car and he and she are flirting on the beach and the kids really like her and trying to push them together and like wow this must really be wrapping up soon and THEN PIRATES AND THE CAR IS FLYING???? INDENTURED INVENTOR SERVANTS???  AND WE ARE NOW IN SOME GERMANIC COUNTRY WHERE CHILDREN ARE ILLEGAL AND THE CHILDCATCHER AND THE TOYMAKER AND THE KING IS TRYING TO MURDER HIS WIFE AND THERE’S AN ARMY OF ANGRY CHILDREN???? haha well that was strange well let’s just drop the sweetmaker’s daughter off at her house I wonder if they get together
