My son used to make me watch this movie over and over to the point we knew all the words to all the songs.
And I'm sorry to tell you guys this and possible spoil your fun a little bit 🤏🏿...

... but both of us are alive and well 😉

Every bursted bubble has a glory!
Each abysmal failure makes a point!
Every glowing path that goes astray,
Shows you how to find a better way.
So every time you stumble never grumble.
Next time you'll bumble even less!
For up from the ashes, up from the ashes, grow the roses of success!
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses of success!
Oh yes!
Grow the roses!
Those rosy roses!
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success!
(spoken) Yes I know but he wants it to float. It will!
For every big mistake you make be grateful!
Here, here!
That mistake you'll never make again!
No sir!
Every shiny dream that fades and dies,
Generates the steam for two more tries!
(Oh) There's magic in the wake of a fiasco!
Correct!
It gives you that chance to second guess!
Oh yes!
Then up from the ashes, up from the ashes grow the roses of success!
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses of success!
Grow the roses!
Those rosy roses!
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success!
Disaster didn't stymie Louis Pasteur!
No sir!
Edison took years to see the light!
Right!
Alexander Graham knew failure well; he took a lot of knocks to ring that
bell!
So when it gets distressing it's a blessing!
Onward and upward you must press!
Yes, Yes!
Till up from the ashes, up from the ashes grow the roses of success.
Grow the ro
Grow the ro
Grow the roses!
Grow the ro
Grow the ro
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses of success!
Grow the ro
Grow the ro
Grow the roses!
Those rosy ro
Those rosy ro
Those rosy roses!
From the ashes of disaster, grow the roses of success!
Start the engines!
Success!
Batten the hatches!
Success!
Man the shrouds!
Lift the anchor!
Success

As a kid I used to force my grandad to watch this film over and over again, he always laughed at this song. He's been dead five years now and I'm only now realising why he liked it so much, it's about never giving up and to keep on trying. I'd give anything to watch it again with him

Couldn't agree with you more!! I'd actually LOVE to be an actress in musicals like the great old classics. ESPECIALLY if I could be known as the next Doris Day! She had beauty, grace, charm, and was a VERY respectable woman who refused to compromise her morals when Hollywood started taking a turn for the worse. She truly was THE girl next door! Songs like "The Roses of Success" that teach GOOD things are something every good movie needs today.

I remember I'd make my parents watch this over and over when I was a kid, my mom just recently wanted to watch it again, and I just realized what this song was about and it gives me great joy and motivation to push on in college after having a few bumps in the road

I needed this. I play guitar every now and then at church. Kinda of a fill in as needed. Now I’m playing lead electric for the first time ever.

Patrick Burns

It's all muscle memory, and don't get discouraged while feeling like your playing is not going anywhere... You'll eventually look back and realize how far you've come, probably already have. I know for me playing the guitar turned into a much deeper thing than just playing a guitar. I've grown mentally and spiritually from playing and there ain't nothing better than the feeling of getting into the flow and letting your feelings out through your fingers...

They dont make movies like this anymore. There are moments like when chitty first emerges from the shed and the music makes that FEEL real. You forget its a movie in that moment coz of the excitement. Movies dont do those little moments these days

@J. A. Motteux I don't think corrupted is the right word, just because it's different doesn't mean it's worse

The movie is earnest, and serious in its fun. It's very rare today that a creator could invent something so simple and light without subverting it--if it were made today it would have a dark, ironic undertone to contradict its levity. This is a problem we have right now with authenticity, and earnestness. There are many movies that buck this trend, del Toro as mentioned above with Shape of Water and Devil's Backbone, but his earnestness is forced into the realm of fantasy. What we admire in del Toro isn't his fantasies, but the realism and earnestness that is concealed within his fantasies.

This movie was made in a time where straight "light entertainment" was popular, today we are so corrupted by irony that this kind of earnestness is very rare to find, and as the other commenter mentioned is only found in the genius of del Toro and similar creators.

(edit: yes I know it was made in 68, but the 60s were largely conservative and sentimental. The counter-culture of the 60s is the world we live in today, and had far less influence on mass-media in the 60s that we think in retrospect)

It’s a great movie no doubt about that, but what you’re saying is utter bollocks I’m afraid, there’s been plenty of great movies made since Chitty.

There was also a lot of colossal garbage at the time that movie was released too, don’t compare the highlights of yesteryear with everything produced today.

Stan & Ollie and The Shape of Water stand out for me as two movies released very recently that highlight great passion.

Ne Zha, Alita: Battle Angel and Isle of Dogs, are also amazing in the animated category of movie.

as much as I loved this song when I saw this movie on VHS with my family years ago I could not really comprehend what was going on in the scene.

now I understand completely what the deal was.

Grandpa Potts was mistakenly taken for the inventor of the floating car thanks to those incompetent spies and found himself in a strange country, far away from England. the baron of vulgeria had instructed Grandpa Potts to make a floating car identical to Chitty Chitty bang bang. Grandpa Potts does not think he will succeed but the baron had threatened to have him executed unless he succeeded in making the floating car. the baron has given Grandpa Potts only 24 hours to do the job. the imprisoned inventors are trying to lift Grandpa Pott's sprits up by telling him that with perseverance anything is possible.

My sisters and I watched this movie on road trips when we were kids. Now I decided to not finish my art degree at the college I was at for 4 years (I was a different major before I switched to Studio Arts as a major) and want to go to an art school. Now I feel like I should listen to this whenever I am feeling stressed out about my art portfolio.

I always wondered how they managed to make the car fall as the engine backfired, but I noticed it's being held by the tires in one segment, then in another it's got jacks under it, and I love that they used the engines smoke as a way to hide them, and also make it so the car can fall and make it genuinely look like it fell apart. We don't get practical effects like this anymore, now it's all CGI and it doesn't look exactly right. Absolutely love this movie, always will

Did you know... Lionel Jeffries was only in his early 40s when making this movie, in fact he was about six months younger than Dick Van Dyke. He lost his hair by the time he was 19 and so found a niche playing eccentric older men, like Grandpa Potts. Reportedly, he blamed the humidity in Burma, where he'd served during WWII, for his hair loss

WolfGirl04

I am still active. I just haven't been able to do any editing for a while. The programs I use to get my videos have had a bad upgrade and haven't meshed. They told me they were working on fixing the problem, but that was still months ago. I may have to see if I can redownload older versions of them. I still have several movies in my list to get done, and that list has gotten even longer with more recent acquisitions. Lol.
