This is the original Love Bug movie, and it still retains its charm, entertaining and suspence of Walt Disney movies.

DVD Review: Good entertainment for the ENTIRE family
Summary: 5 Stars

I was so glad to get the "original" as we had seen the sequels. Very funny & entertaining for all ages.

DVD Review: How could you not like this?
Summary: 5 Stars

I think I've seen this (at least in part) when I was little, but for some unknown reason, I just watched this for the first time in memory. I really regret not watching it before now, because it is a classic. While the three sequels may not be classics, there's a reason why a movie like this has three sequels to begin with!

This is a perfect blend of Disney stars, with Dean Jones and Buddy Hackett highlighting the picture (along with Herbie of course). While these guys may not be confused with Laurence Olivier or Jimmy Stewart, they play a Disney part to perfection. Michele Lee is cute in her role (although that 60's hair leaves something to be desired) and David Tomlinson makes a "good" bad guy.

The antics in this film are quite hilarious at times. Admittedly, most of the laugh out loud parts are drawn from Herbie's antics, so that speaks to the Disney geniuses as much as it does to the acting of the stars. Hackett also draws a good portion of laughs, though--understandably when you take a look at that face!

All in all, this is a Disney film that belongs in the same discussion as "The Shaggy Dog" and "The Absent-Minded Professor." Completely clean entertainment for the whole family!

Description of The Love Bug (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. --Tom Keogh
