A minor query....

Right now the Daughter is watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on the teevee (via one of them deeveedee's), and as I'm sitting here munching on a turkey sandwich and reading blogs, some of the movie is seeping into my head via osmosis, and really, it's a lot better movie than I remember it being. I recall not being terribly excited by it when I was a kid, but she's enjoying it muchly, and I'm finding the production impressive, the songs and music good, the acting fun in that "scenery-chewing kids' movie" kind of way, and I'm even finding Dick Van Dyke (whom I normally don't grok) enjoyable. So why isn't Chitty Chitty Bang Bang more of a classic family movie?
