Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls start your engines. You're about to take an incredible ride with one of the most wonderful family films of all time!
In pre-WWI England, a widowed, absent-minded, unsuccessful inventor spruces up a wrecked racing car - which develops the amazing ability to float on water and fly - and plans to take his two children, his girlfriend and the flying automobile on a magical adventure!
When the bullying prince of a middle European nation tries to kidnap the auto and its inventor, he grabs the wrong guy and the wrong car. So the adventure becomes a rescue mission that takes the group and their wonderful car to a strange Oz-like world of castles and pirates, where nothing is as it seems.
Based on the children's story by Ian Fleming.
