A woman dances in her old-fashioned lingerie, and two characters kiss. Younger children may find the images scary older kids might understand the intent and could find it funny. Villains include the clownish variety with twirling mustaches, one of whom wields a hook, and a very creepy Child Catcher who uses candy to lure children into cages. There's also exaggerated action: A character in his outhouse-like hideaway gets carried away by a zeppelin, a baroness is shot into the sky (and retrieved by cannon shots letting the air out of her billowing skirt). During some scenes, the main characters and others are in jeopardy, and fantasy sequences include comic pratfalls. Parents need to know that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a classic family adventure film. There's a creepy Child Catcher who uses candy to lure children into cages, as well as two villains who try lots of cartoon measures to capture the Potts family (one has a hook), and a long comic battle between soldiers and the heroes, who fight alongside an army of children.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?

A character in his outhouse-like hideaway is carried away by a zeppelin. Many pratfalls, pirate attacks, a baroness is shot into the sky (and retrieved by cannon shots letting the air out of her billowing skirt). In a fantasy story-within-a-story, the Potts and friends end up in danger in a fictional kingdom. An experiment with a rocket ends when it sparks and catches fire, briefly putting its inventor at risk. All of the action is exaggerated and cartoonish no one is injured or killed.
