   I didn't enjoy "Fantasic Mr. Fox": I kept /hearing/ the Famous Actor,   
   but never /seeing/ him. What can I say? Other than this is the only   
   instance of that particular problem I can recall.   
      
   "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was a great film, even if the middle is a   
   bit of a muddle. At least, the VHS/DVD versions were; I don't recall   
   noticing this when I saw it in the theater.
