In 1968, audiences were blessed with the wonderful musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The film features Dick Van Dyke and is loosely based on a children’s book,Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car by Ian Fleming. 

The movie follows a wacky father (Caractacus Potts) with a knack for inventing quirky things.

After creating a flying car, he meets Truly Scrumptious, the daughter of a wealthy confectionary manufacturer in England.

She slays…

While getting to know each other, Scrumptious and Potts go on a magical adventure with Potts’ children to a land with no children. The mean king hired a man to catch children.


Sounds odd, but the truth is this musical is great.

The music is incredible.


And the choreography is on point.


But there’s one problem — the movie has no diversity.

Seriously, this musical is whiter than untouched snow. It’s been 40 years, it’s time for a remake. And this time, the movie needs color…and lots of it.

Here are my cast suggestions:
