tfw i've got me 'ol bamboo

roald dahl cowrote the screenplay for this film in which, during the title sequence, a car crashes and explodes, presumably killing the two passengers

we love a buzzkill in a cake hat

i promise i won't actually livetweet this nanners film but this breakfast machine is one of those weird echo memories i've had since i was like, 5

all the dancers in candy factory are exactly this hot

holy shit this movie is two and half hours long

so Dick Van Dyke is a widower who definitely accidentally killed his wife with one of his inventions, we can all agree

the last hour of the movie is framed as a story dick van dyke is telling his kids, which means that he took the time to describe to them this song in which the baron wants to kill his wife while she wants to fuck

and so is a whole song where truly's singing about falling in love with DvD, but that means that he's telling them about a song that he thinks truly would sing if she were to fall in love with him

i gotta say, grandpa's flying shitter song is just, extraordinarily long

"Ok, Sherman brothers, what's the next song for our children's movie"
"prisoners of war sing to grandpa about perseverance"

I can't find a good photo of it but the purple-theme costume design for the aristocrats in Vulgaria is wildly good, to the point where they gave the drunkard equivalents big purple noses instead of red

holy shit that was so long
