Chitty Chitty Bang Bang/YMMV


 * Aerith and Bob: The Potts children are named Jeremy and, uh... Jemima.
 * What's wrong with "Jemima"? It was good enough for one of the daughters of Job (not to mention a brand of pancake syrup); it just isn't used much nowadays.
 * Adaptation Displacement: The original novel has the family go to France on an impromptu holiday, where they end up breaking up a crime ring.
 * Ear Worm: "Oh, you, pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you..."
 * "You're my little chu-chi face!"
 * "Oh, the POSH, POSH traveling life, the traveling life for me!"
 * "Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo, you better never bother with me ol' bamboo!"
 * "Toot sweets, toot sweets..."
 * Seriously, all of the music is ridiculously catchy.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The Child Catcher. An androgynous Snape-like creature dressed in black who dances about singing the joys of candy and ice cream all as a ploy to lure children into his cart and then lock them in giant circus cages.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: "The eatable, tweetable treat."
 * Memetic Molester: The Childcatcher is often viewed as one of these by fans of the movie. The lesser-known stage production actually makes him worse, with a Villain Song that many versions cut for being too suggestive.
 * No Yay: "Truly Scrumptious! You're truly, truly scrumptious!" Yes, kids, she's also twice your age at least.
 * Special Effects Failure: Chitty just can't fly without being surrounded by blue matte lines -- a dead giveaway that the shots were filmed in front of a blue screen. And then there's the fact that Chitty's normally shiny chrome suddenly stop being reflective when the car is flying. That is, except for those shots of just the hood when it's clearly being airlifted over Neuschwanstein Castle.
 * Vindicated by History: When the film originally came out, it lost money at the box office and was panned by critics. Somewhere along the line, it became a classic.
 * WTH? Casting Agency: Benny Hill as a toymaker?
