Yep, I've been watching them too. There aren't any good modern car movies tbh. I can't believe a movie from 1969 is so good.

Same here

Me too :D

I'm so happy to hear that younger generations can be brought into the family even with Fully Loaded, my least favorite of the films. As a child growing up in the 90's, Herbie was a fourth beaten franchise with a "made-for-TV" movie in '97. I really had no concept of special effects or CGI, which was in its infancy, and Herbie just seemed absolutely magical to me. Truly the only "Disney magic" I've ever actually felt. It just seemed so raw, visceral and real, and now I know why - because they were actually filming full-sized, full-action shots; all the danger was absolutely real with the stunts and speed. I always assumed they were speeding up the film and telling other drivers to go slowly, but they actually souped up some Beetles and filmed these shots at speed. It's just like watching a good magician doing slight-of-hand tricks, because that was how special effects were done. They were real. Partly why Fully Loaded was annoying for me, because of all the CGI. Anyway, not to rant, but I will rave about how much I loved Herbie. It's the main reason I got into cars and work on them today.

I love Herbie so much, that's why my dream car will be a Volkswagen Bug!

What year was it?

@@m-c-m- 1971 but registered at a '73

Jray Studios me too, ( but l was Born in 2004, in Brazil ).

I still remembered, when I was about 4 years old, I saw a small scene of Herbie Fully Loaded in TV, that was the scene where Maggie bought Herbie from Junkyard. In that time, I know nothing about Herbie, so I thought that's just a scrap car, I think that was 2006 or 2007 when I saw the scene (and my age was 3-4 years old in that time). Now, on 2018, after 11 years, I'm now realized that the car I called "Scrap" 11 years old is a Legend (and still)!! From then, I became a Herbie crew, and Volkswagen Beetle got a big place in my heart!!!

They are remaking it but herbie talks and I know someone who is auditioning for herbie

Baylor Peebles how did you find out there were making another Herbie movie

Baylor Peebles where can I find this

Rusteze raceing Reviews You can find it in hell. It's basically ruining my childhood.

Not_A_Ricer same here, if they make Herbie talk then I will SUE DISNEY!

Herbie also made a cameo appearance in the show house of mouse

Fully loaded wasn't that good the older movies are way better

@@litgamer0081 hey fully loaded is the reason that I got into the older Herbie movie, and I would also defend that when it comes to other younger fans of the 2000s who got into the love bug.

@@litgamer0081 I agree with "Older movies" till Tv Show, the TV movie sucked and was 100% worse than fully loaded, also fully loaded was the reason I knew who Herbie is

Ditto!

Yeah same

"We ALL prisoners chicky-baby.....We ALL locked-in"....

Same! Also when he said he raced a car and the guy then had more respect for Volkswagens I thought (back then) he was referring to a sceen In the love bug

@@SMPandanic what got me, was that the couple kissing in the notHerbie - while Jim was looking for Herbie- was the ones Herbie outraced.

Do it man. I'll wish you good luck.😀

Also, a lot of people mistakenly think it's a person's name. It isn't. It's a marketing term coined by Hitler (yes, der fuehrer). It literally means "The people's car." He wanted cheap, reliable transportation for working class Germans. Unfortunately, its Nazi past cannot be denied. The VW was partly the brainchild of Ferdinand Porsche, who was known to be a member of the Nazi party.

David Tomlinson (Peter Thorndyke) unfortunately passed 3 years before this documentary, I would love to hear his remarks on the movie.

@@charliered420 R I P David Tomlinson. You will be missed by many.

The theme song ACTUALLY has lyrics

What about the two lead female actresses from Herbie goes bananas?

@@josephmullin5845 Cloris Leachman sadly passed in January. Elyssa Davalos is still alive though and so is Joaquin Garay and Charles Martin Smith.

The one on the right at 19:43 was a 57 converted into a 63! They cut the rear oval to make it like that of a 63! The deck lid was correct for that car! It was the 10th Herbie used in that film and is actually one of the few surviving beetles from the movie!

I think you could make a 65-66 into Herbie as well without anyone realizing

He was a random car on the street with dog inside him was he

Ruth Jost ur ones nice

Or Yvette Minuex as Carol instead of Michele Lee

Dean's gone too

R.I.P

I always thought my mother the car was an attempt at a modern take on Mr. Ed

I only said the same thing Herbie should have a cameo in cars

Herbie already have a cameo appearance in Disney Pixar CARS (first movie), if you look closely then you'll see that the insects flying around are actually not real insects, they're white Volkswagen Beetle cars with wings. 100% prove that's a reference to Herbie, because they're also the only cars in the whole CARS franchise that wouldn't talk (most likely because Herbie never talk in any of the movies and used his horn instead)!!

2003

10 minutes away from “53”

And Thorndyke

And Hawk

And drip

@@Evanthedude227 yeah

And the Captain in the bananas and the three thieves in the Monte Carlo movies.
