Given Disney's propensity for buying everything in existence perhaps one day it really will own Chitty.Actually you are right since your post compelled me to do a little research.
It wasn't a Disney film contrary to what I thought. I guess I'll have to scratch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as a Disney film. Chalk it up to the Mandela effect! Turns out though I wasn't the only one who Associated Disney with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang so I feel a little bit better because of my folly. *Grin*.
I always had thought it was Disney because it had Dick Van Dyke in it. I now feel like the time when I discovered Santa Claus wasn't real.
Lo and behold truth turned out to be Stranger Than Fiction , given that Dick Van Dyke was consequently censured from Disney cuz he starred in the film.

Well ill be. :O)
To be fair it does have many Disney stalwarts. The Sherman Brothers and the aforementioned Dick Van Dyke. So I see why everyone mistakes it for a Disney product. Happened with Anastasia.
Now people aren't technically wrong to call it a Disney fave lol!
With that said Once upon a December is now among my favourite Disney songs
