CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG The Magical Car

Delightful! Sounding confiding, cheeky, and very British indeed, actor David Tennant relates Fleming's 1964 story of a magical car. After the Pott family acquires and restores CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (who reveals her name with a customary series of coughs and sputters when she starts up), she takes them on all sorts of adventures—speeding down the motorway at over 100 mph, flying them to the perfect beach picnic, conveying them across the English Channel to France—and that’s just the beginning. Through it all, Tennant narrates with relish, especially when he gets to sound her GA-GOOOO-GA klaxon. It’s the perfect way to introduce a new audience to this charming British classic.
