Herbie rides again, this time in a cute TV movie made 28 years after the 1969 original. A bevy of 1960s all-star cameos (Dean Jones, Micky Dolenz, Clarence Williams III) peppers this remake of the Disney feature film, in which the magic Volkswagen is under new ownership, beetling off to burn rubber in a race against evil counterpart Horace. Peyton Reed's film isn't one of cinema's greatest achievements, and it lacks the charm of its big-screen Disney predecessors, however it is good family entertainment.

Disney's Adventure of a VW Beetle Come to Life!
The Love Bug is one of my favorite Disney movies. A movie about a car with a mind of it's own, a vw beetle with a heart, how could you not love a movie like that. Among all the great characters are the evil Peter Thorndyke, the beautiful Carole, the down on his luck driver Jim Douglas and the best one of the bunch Buddy Hackett as the wonderfully eccentric Tennessee Steinmetz, Tennessee has a Buddhist soul and does not discount the car as being alive. Love Bug is funny, sad and has scenes that will leave you to tears, you will laugh and shake your head.

Herbie as he should look!
The original Herbie as he should look. Funny, sad, exciting, far fetched but brilliant nonsense. I love this movie. I've seen it about a million times and still enjoy it every time as much as the first.
