Summary: One of the best classic Disney movies, now on DVD!!!!!
Review: This is one of the best Disney movies of all time. Who doesn't love the idea of a Beetle that comes to life? This movie has quite a few real-life applications, which you'll just have to watch to find out. But, it still is a great story to see in action.

Summary: The Love Bug will get you if you don't watch out
Review: This is one of the best of the Disney live action movies from the 60s. I love the part where they drag race against the hippies in the hot rod! Ok, it may be a bit dated, but it's good clean fun for the entire family. The DVD has a nice clean print that looks terrific. Plus, it has tons of extras. If you are a fan of this movie, the DVD is a must buy.

Summary: Herbie is back and he's brought a lot of extras!!
Review: This was easily one of my favorite movies as a kid. I am now in my 20's and lets just say it still holds up the test of time quite well. I must have watched this movie so many times on tape that the tape got warn out at parts. When I found it was now on DVD and a special edition as well, lets just say I bought it right up and I coudln't have been happier with my purchase.The story for those that don't know is of a little volkswagen named Herbie who comes into the posession of one Jim Douglas, a down on his luck race driver. The car though is no regular old car as he finds soon enough. It has a mind of it's own and is winning race after race and the two are building quite the strong bond. Along for the ride are his mechanic buddy named Tennessee who Buddy Hacket played perfectly and a once proper and sophisticated girl who falls for Jim along the way. The villan of this story is one Thorndyke who has been losing race after race to this car and wants nothing more then the complete destruction of Herbie. The story builds up to some great humourous moments and some heart felt ones and even some sad moments. The great climax includes a cross country race in which Jim and Throndyke are doing what ever they can to outwit the other. This is a movie that all in your family will love and want to watch over and over. If the great movie itself wasn't enough, the great bonus features included in this DVD make the price even more the bargain. The best feature is probably the commentary that the three heroic stars (Dean Jones, Michele Lee and Buddy Hackett) do while the movie is going on. If that wasn't enough the whole second disk that comes with this is just full of bonus materials. Everything a Love Bug fan could dream of and more. Movie Trailers, cut scenes, info on all the other movies and shows that Herbie was in after Love Bug, info on the stars.. much much more. I can't stress enough how much fun this movie is and the best is , it really doesn't matter what age you are. You could be 5 or 17 or 50 and you will find fun here. If anything it's great to see the type of things that went on in 1969 in some of the bonus materials . Even teh song that plays through the whole film will get stuck in your head as it's so catchy. If you want a great movie that truly stands the test of time, this is the one for you. And you too will fall in love with number 53 the second you lay your eyes on him.

Summary: Herbie Saves The Day!
Review: What an enjoyable family movie! I first saw "Herbie" the Love Bug when I was 10, and many times since then. Kids and grown-ups alike can enjoy this colorful Disney Classic. What a concept: A Volkswagen Beetle with heart & soul and the power necessary to thwart bad guys. Movies don't get any better than this when it comes to pleasing ANY audience. Dean Jones and Michele Lee are wonderful as "Herbie's co-stars". You just can't go wrong with this one!

Summary: Best of the series
Review: What if things really do have an inner life? What if the machines we take for granted as being under our control have an essence, a life force, a soul that needs only to be cultivated to be brought out into the open? Mystic-minded hippie-type Tennessee Steinmetz (Buddy Hackett) argues that this is the case when his roommate, down-on-his-luck race driver Jim Douglas (Dean Jones) acquires a Volkswagen Beetle that frequently refuses to comply with its driver's demands. Tennessee claims that the car is alive, and names it Herbie. Jim doesn't believe this for a second, but that doesn't stop him from using the car's unusual speed to bring success to his previously undistinguished racing career. Meanwhile, Peter Thorndyke (David Tomlinson), the snobbish and hot-tempered owner of the dealership where Douglas bought the car, is having fits over Douglas' inexplicable winning streak. A race driver himself, Thorndyke becomes Jim's (and Herbie's) primary rival, resorting to increasingly sneaky tactics to prevail on the racetrack. Jim believes his own driving skill deserves the credit for his newfound success, but finally comes to believe the truth about Herbie in time for the final climactic race. By far the funniest and best of Disney's Herbie series, The Love Bug is silly fun that's still smartly written enough to be fun for all ages. The special effects are somewhat dated and primitive, but they suffice. It's not easy to make a car show emotion, but here it's done with surprising effectiveness. It also doesn't hurt that as a car, the VW Bug has a lot of personality to start with. The human actors do well too; Dean Jones makes for a likeable hero, and Michele Lee the love interest. However, the real comic gold comes from Buddy Hackett as the offbeat Tennessee, who in Jim's words is `just in off a flying saucer,' and David Tomlinson as British rival Thorndyke, whose angry outbursts are deliciously over-the-top without crossing the fine line into obnoxious overacting.
