Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was the first of a proposed nine-picture deal between Hanna-Barbera and American International Pictures. Joseph Barbera approached his friend Samuel Z. Arkoff about producing live-action films, although William Hanna and other people at Hanna-Barbera weren't eager to venture outside animation. Arkoff was enthusiastic about Barbera's ideas. The deal was canceled due to creative differences and this film's poor box-office performance.
- GoofsWhen C.H.O.M.P.S. rips the roof from the car that Ken Sharp is driving, it is clearly not the same car that Sharp was seen getting into just moments before.

- Alternate versionsThe movie was originally released with a PG rating during the summer of 1979. It was eventually pulled and re-edited into a version without certain profanity in order for it to receive a G rating (note: the "re-edited" version mentioned here was released in the autumn of 1979). Even though the original version was released again at least once afterwards, at least one of those later releases appeared to have had it classified as a G-rated movie rather than a PG-rated one.

Featured review
I happened to stumble upon the 1979 family movie "C. H. O. M. P. S." by random luck in 2022. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down to watch it.
Actually, I sat down to watch "C. H. O. M. P. S." with my 12 year old son, and he enjoyed the movie quite a lot. I did find the movie to be good as well, so this movie from writers Dick Robbins, Duane Poole and Joseph Barbera was a nice surprise.
The storyline told in the movie was good, fun and interesting, and it definitely offered something for the entire family. And that was a good thing, because director Don Chaffey managed to ensure that all members of the family would and could thoroughly enjoy the movie.
The acting performances in the movie were good, though the only one on the cast list that I was familiar with here was actor Chuck McCann.
And for a movie from 1979, then I will say that the movie has aged gracefully and is still rather enjoyable and watchable 43 years later. So if you haven't already seen "C. H. O. M. P. S.", then you should definitely do so if you get the opportunity to watch it.
All in all, then "C. H. O. M. P. S." is a movie well-worth the time and effort. My rating of "C. H. O. M. P. S." lands on a six out of ten stars.
