Fox Announces Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Blu-ray for November 2

September 08, 2010

A couple weeks ago, Amazon.com began taking pre-orders for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang starring Dick Van Dyke on Blu-ray. Today Fox made the release official in confirming a November 2 release date and detailing the specs and bonus features.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Blu-ray will be packaged with a DVD version of the film in two separate skus: one using the Blu-ray as a lead-in and the other the DVD. The contents and pricing of each will be identical with the only differences between discs one and two swapping places and a small tweak to the packaging.

Fox has remastered the video and audio for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Blu-ray, the latter of which has been bumped up to 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio for the first time. Also included will be new interactive games as part of the bonus features listed below.
