Summary: Wonderful classic movie!
Review: Dean Jones is a classic himself! This is one of the classic Disney films in which you don't have to worry if they'll be anything you don't want your kids to see. These days Disney gets a little edgy with kid's movies. The Love Bug is so funny - the kids may not get all of the dry humor, but it is one to keep watching for a long time.

Summary: YESSS, IT'S FINALLY ON DVD!!
Review: DISNEY'S BEST LIVE ACTION MOVIE. NO MATTER HOW OLD "THE LOVE BUG" GETS AS THE YEARS GO ON, IT WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE DISNEY MOVIE. THIS WAS THE FILM WHICH INTRODUCED ME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY, WHEN I FIRST SAW IT BACK IN 1986. DISNEY MOVIES OF TODAY LACK THE SPARKLE AND MAGIC WHICH VINTAGE DISNEY FILMS WILL ALWAYS HAVE. "THE LOVE BUG" IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF VINTAGE DISNEY AT IT'S BEST.

Summary: Disney almost got this DVD right
Review: For the most part, this is one of Disney's few successes when it comes to releasing a movie on DVD. However, even with this DVD, there are some issues. The scene in Chinatown is strangely out of focus, while the rest of the movie appears just fine. Did the engineer fall asleep while he was doing the transfer, or just what happened?In spite of that, I will say that this is one Disney DVD you are PROBABLY safe in buying. Maybe it came out before they started cutting corners so severely.

Summary: Great movie, but I think they should put it on a DVD
Review: Hey, remember me from the Beauty and the Beast review? Well, this time, I am talking about Disney's 1969 classic, The Love Bug. It is a great movie, with Herbie, the self-racing Beetle. In this movie, two men who love racing buy the car and race it in many tracks. This is what makes the movie so exciting. Here's something more exciting: that I think, after many years on last-century videotape, Disney should put this movie on a shiny disc. (or a DVD, whichever you prefer.) Here are some reasons why: First of all, for those of you who have an older video collection or a rental store nearby, there is a version of The Love Bug on a 15 or 20 year old tape (with neon effects of Mickey at the beginning, probably from the early days of VCRs), and second, many Disney classics are already being put onto DVD (like The Parent Trap, Mary Poppins, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast). The DVD should have the movie itself (full and wide screen), digitally remastered, THX certified, the original trailer, maybe a documentary or two, foreign language audio and subtitles, and a Herbie Racing game (using the menu arrow buttons as the steering wheel and the enter button, or OK, or set, depends on what DVD player you're using.) And, they should issue the DVD in 2004, for when Disney can call it a "Walt Disney 35th Anniversary Collector's Edition" to make it a big seller. Only one question: Will it change the way Love Bug fans watch this movie forever? You'll find out when the DVD comes out later!

Summary: 5 Stars for Susie !
Review: I am a fan of the animated shorts Disney has started putting on their DVDs, though not on all of them. Personally, the cartoons are incentive for me to buy the DVD. I'd like to see Disney put the more obscure ones on their DVDs, such as the one included with The Love Bug. The cartoon is called "Susie - The Little Blue Coupe" and it is great! Fans of the children's author Bill Peet shouldn't miss this! He worked for Disney before embarking on his writing career and authored the story of Susie. Having The Love Bug in your collection is a must, but having Susie as well is an excellent bonus! They just don't make cartoons like this anymore and they should.

Summary: Cute but should not be rated G
Review: I recently rented this movie for my three year old son who loves cars. I did see this movie when I was going up (though I did not remember the exact details) but now that I have seen it as a parent, I have some concerns about it. Though the moive is rated G, it has a few things about it that I don't find appropriate for young children. The dialogue is riddled with words like "stupid" and "idiot,"-- words I prefer to keep out of my son's vocabulary, at least for now. I also find the character, Mr. Thorndike, to have an anger management problem. In the majority of his scenes, he is yelling at the top of his lungs and calling his sidekick, Havershaw, a series of derogatory names-- definitely not a characteristic I want my son to emulate. Finally, while I appreciate the whole appeal of a car having human qualities, I find the scene where Herbie tries to commit suicide a bit much for a kid's movie. Having to explain what the car was doing was difficult. Overall, though the movie has cute qualities, I wish that the attributes I mentioned were not included. Call me a protective parent but seems to me that today's kids are considered rude because they are exposed to media like this that are considered acceptable. Sorry to the die-hard Herbie fans, but this movie is not all its cracked up to be.

Summary: Great For Kids
Review: I remember loving this movie when I was ten years old back in 1970 in the theatre. I think my ten year old would love it just as much.

Summary: Could it possibly be???????????
Review: Is it possible that the House of Mouse Empire has seen the light by releasing this wonderful family film in its OAR? Maybe Michael Eisner finally read a few reviews by the intelligent customers of AMAZON.COM concerning widescreen releases. By the way, the Disney site claims the OAR to be 1.75:1. I truly look forward to procuring this treasure on DVD on its release date. Too bad Snowball Express didn't make the same cut by this could be a good sign.

Summary: A fine DVD release of a Disney live-action classic
Review: It's always a pleasure to buy Disney DVD's in their Original Theatrical Ratios, plus there are extra features to spare in this release of "The Love Bug." An excellent release, like all the titles from last year's "Vault Disney" series. Only wish that other favorites -- like The Moon-Spinners and Snowball Express -- had been released in this format.
