Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS A WONDERFUL SET OF VIDEOS FOR LITTLE BOYS WHO LOVE CARS AND TRUCKS. MY GRANDSON BEGS TO SEE THEM EVERY TIME HE COMES TO SEE NANA. ( HE IS THREE YEARS OLD.0 I EVEN ENJOY WATCHING THEM MYSELF.DVD Review: Love Bug Awkward bundle...
Summary: 3 Stars
This four-movie DVD set -- Herbie the Love Bug Collection -- is good because it contains The Love Bug as a Special Edition DVD. The one that started it all is digitally restored, looks great and has a good amount of fun special features. Herbie Rides Again is also well maintained and fun to watch. The problem for this reviewer was that the last two entries, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo and Herbie Goes Bananas are in Full Screen format only! I can't understand the logic behind Full Screen formatting (as it cuts out a part of the picture from both sides of the original intended shot), and I REALLY can't understand having two Widescreen beauties paired with two Full Screen duds... it really feels like they were packaging them together to get them sold. Otherwise, it's a good set.DVD Review: Good CLEAN fun for the family!
Summary: 5 Stars
I AM SO GLAD THEY MADE THESE 4 CLASSIC HERBIE MOVIES AVAILABLE ON
DVD!IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE FILMS WITHOUT ALL OF THE RUDE AND NOT TO MENTION CRUDE HUMOR THEY PUT IN TODAY'S FILMS AIMED AT CHILDREN THESE
DAYS(examples: rude noises,bathroom humor,etc.)I ADMIT THAT I WISH THEY
WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE SAME SPECIAL TREATMENT TO THE OTHER HERBIE MOVIES
LIKE THEY DID THE 1ST ONE,PARTICULARLY MY FAVORITE 'HERBIE GOES BANANAS'.
BUT I WON'T COMPLAIN.I STILL LOVE THIS SET AND EVERYTHING HERBIE ABOUT
IT.THE SADDEST THING IS: IS WHEN YOU WATCH HERBIE GOES BANANAS,YOU
REALIZE THEY STILL HAD ENOUGH MATERIAL TO MAKE A FIFTH FILM IN THE
CLASSIC SERIES THAT THEY DIDN'T PURSUE.THE LINDSAY LOHAN ABOMINATION
NOT WITHSTANDING.
DVD Review: great collection on Herbie
Summary: 4 Stars
I love all the movies. It is really neat to have the whole set. It is a great addition for any Herbie lover. I named my Smart Fortwo Herb after Herbie.
Description of Herbie the Love Bug Collection (The Love Bug/Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo/Herbie Goes Bananas/Herbie Rides Again)
Herbie Goes Bananas - English/Spanish DVD- Set in exotic locations in Central America, the internationally renowned Herbie, everyone's favorite "love bug," demonstrates his special brand of "car-isma" and high-octane humor in this action-packed, stunt-filled comedy outing. The fun begins when Herbie sets sail for Rio de Janeiro's Grande Premio racing competition with his two new owners. En route, they get sidetracked by a smuggling syndicate, pestered by a pint-sized pickpocket, and bullied by a raging bull. Laughter shifts into high gear in this zany Disney comedy! Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo - DVD- Herbie, the VW with heart, adds some international flair to his lovable personality! Upon entering a Paris-to-Monte Carlo road race, Herbie falls hood over wheels in love when he encounters a sleek, sporty, light blue Lancia. Also vying for Herbie's attention is a gang of jewel thieves, who've ingeniously hidden a stolen gem in Herbie's gas tank! Thus begins a madcap chase across the French countryside that only The Love Bug could create! Herbie Rides Again - DVD- Herbie is back in gear -- revved up and ready for more madcap comedy adventure in this sidesplitting sequel to Disney's popular smash hit, THE LOVE BUG! This time Herbie's leading lady is award-winning actress Helen Hayes, superb in the very first screen comedy of her illustrious career. Aided by co-stars Ken Berry and Stefanie Powers, she's out to save her beloved Victorian firehouse home from the wrecking ball of greedy real estate tycoon Keenan Wynn, Disney's most lovable villain. It's up to Herbie and his bug battalion to "come through in the clutch"! Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a really great time! The Love Bug - DVD Special Edition- For the first time ever you can enjoy this timeless classic in a Special Edition DVD. Fully restored to look and sound as it was originally intended, it also features hours of exclusive bonus materials your entire family will enjoy again and again. He's the star who provides the most laughs per gallon. He's Herbie, the lovable car with a mind of his own. Dean Jones, Michele Lee, and Buddy Hackett join Herbie in this revved-up comedy classic. Jones plays down-on-his-luck race car driver Jim Douglas, who reluctantly teams up with the little machine. Douglas thinks his sudden winning streak is due to his skill, not Herbie's. He finally realizes the car's worth when a sneaky rival plots to steal Herbie for himself. But it's Herbie who'll steal your heart in this wildly fun roller-coaster ride of a movie you'll never forget!This savvy Disney hit from 1969 made a star of a Volkswagen precisely when the car was becoming more popular than ever. Dean Jones and Michele Lee head the cast in a story about a VW bug with a mind of its own. Disney point man Robert Stevenson, director of The Absent-Minded Professor, Mary Poppins, and lots of other Disney live-action hits, makes the slapstick work perfectly and keeps the laughs coming. Buddy Hackett is very funny in a supporting role.
The first sequel, Herbie Rides Again (1974), is similar enough to the first film's charm and raucous comedy that it works on its own. Neither Dean Jones nor Michelle Lee are back, but a nice cast of familiar pros (including Disney vet Ken Berry) keeps things moving along slickly. The story finds Herbie helping Helen Hayes--yes, the First Lady of the American Theater--keep out of the clutches of Keenan Wynn's villain.
Dean Jones came back to the fold for this third lap around the block, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977), which finds him racing in the famed city while thieves plant a stolen diamond in Herbie's gas tank. The plot is forced and conventional, but the cast is the thing: the excitable Don Knotts (The Apple Dumpling Gang) and the tormentable Roy Kinnear (Mr. Salt from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) are good men to have in a potboiler such as this.
The fourth movie, Herbie Goes Bananas (1980), is a wooden story about Herbie's funny adventures heading toward a race in Brazil. Charles Martin Smith and Steven W. Burns try hard to bring some life into this project, but it just doesn't happen. There is one good laugh in the whole thing, in a scene where Herbie becomes a matador. Otherwise, even the picturesque, south-of-the-border stuff doesn't help. Harvey Korman and Cloris Leachman star. --Tom Keogh
