I'm very happy to hear that Dean Jones owned one of the original Herbie VW's from the first film. If anyone was the most deserving of this car, it was Mr. Jones. Dean was a great actor and a real gentleman. Rest Peacefully Dean Jones, thanks for the memories.
It wasn’t from the first film, it was a parade car that Disney used. Dean did use it for charity work and was owned by Disney at a point in time. But was never a movie car
My favorite scene was in "Herbie rides again". When Herbie cried for help EVERY VW in San Francisco took on a mind of its own and rushed to Dean Jones' old fire station to stop the cruel Alonzo Hawk from tearing it down.
Yeah, it totally sucks they never recovered it. But I think I remember reading something somewhere, might've been on a old Herbie message-board about how that Herbie used was pretty much gutted out to reduce the weight, possibly with a faux bottom to help make it float along just enough so it could still be recovered, but straight-up just sunk, with only a small motor put in to spin Herbie's back wheels. The scene itself was always and still is extremely painful to watch. His cries especially.
I was fortunate enough to go for a spin in the Porsche powered racing Herbie (H2) that was in 'The Love Bug.' It's owned by Terry's Beetle Service in Hanwell, London.
In the original movies the whole interior paint was changed to flat grey so the studio lights would not reflect on camera. Bugs dash and doors were always the same as the exterior color but they realized the shiny white and chrome had too many issues.
tardis35 I cried when i watched the first movie, in the theater when it was released, i was around 5ish. I was infatuated with Herbie back then! When i turned 16 in 1980 and was able to drive, i bought a beige 69 bug. My first car. he has always had a place in my heart. I know it sounds cheezy as hell, but i'm with ya man...
I have a Herbie and take him to car shows and have won many trophies. People love him . Funny thing I never seen any of the movies till I bought the car. Roadside find. Great video, thank you .
A little update: in the Herbie community, someone has posted that Hugh is still well and alright. Around the time this documentary was made, Dean sold that "original" Herbie to him (which is really the parade car from Disneyland), and on the way to the Fully Loaded premiere in '05, the golf cart motor blew and any attempted repair would damage the car's history. As for the mentioned Herbie Goes Bananas car in Planet Hollywood, it was sold to a private entity fairly recently for around $217K. It has the current record for most expensive Bug, beating another Bananas car that sold twice in Barrett-Jackson.
kevin u i can't understand it, why was the US running this KDF factory, why the Disney marketing? You were born in a strange area, Nixon crap was the reality, needing Disney! Needing a smile!
3:16...And if you will also notice, they did not always use a proper "Herbie Generation"(1958-1963) bug. Notice that the greenhouse (glass area) on the bug is not the same as on a 1963 bug (see 3:55). The wing windows had that "Mr Spock ears" look. But I believe that the camera shots showing non-Herbie Generation bugs were few and far between. And they were very brief. That way, the audience is not likely to notice the difference. And even if they did, most people would not care. BTW, Herbie (a proper Herbie that is...7:30) is indeed a "cute little fella", along with the rest of his generation. My dad owned a ceramic green (one off year for that color)1960 bug, which he bought in 1969, just before "The Love Bug" came out. My first car was a red 1962 sunroof bug ("Howard") which I bought in 1972. Later, I had a turquoise 1961 bug, and a gulf blue 1963 bug, both of which I bought in 1979. And then I sold all three of them in 1981. Then in 1982, I bought my white 1962 sunroof bug, which I decked out like Herbie. I kept that for five years. I also had a NON-Herbie Generation 1966 bug, which I had for a little over a year until it got rear-ended and totalled. The vintage Volkswagen gods must have smiled upon me as my only bug that got totaled was the one NON-Herbie (not so cute little fella) bug that I had, while in my 20's.
Pooru Animations born-again Christian, RIP, i don't think so, afterlife bullshit! How and why we need to remember him, his stage work, Disney level crap?
Thank you so much for share this video clip. All information on Herbie . Always enjoy watch film movies of him. Very special little car. If every make all film movies in blueray DVD collection box. I love see more of Herbie in film movies. Fun watch. Truly enjoy classic hits film movies of Herbie. I know Fans love Herbie much I have though years. When was first Herbie car on film movie was 1974 or later????. Fun watch all ages.
Thank you for the time you spent on herbie history i didn't see it intel after my father passed away in December 2017 he the DVD in is room saving it for me it really helped me through everything. From Modlennie Disneyland Ca. younger son .thank you someday I'll start to building my herbie....
Everyone calls the 1997 Love Bug movie a remake, but I decline this because due to some reasons, that make this one unique: 1). Herbie's origin story 2). Herbie's death and revival 3). The appearance of Jim Douglas/Dean Jones 4). Horace the Hate Bug
Yes! I saw “ rides again” at Parmatown mall in Cleveland. The local VW dealership donated one to sit in the mall. It was actually a “ super beetle” ie: tinted glass, a/c and a curved windshield instead of flat that the regular bugs got back then. They applied the decals stripes and 53. They looked removeable if desired.
I have always had a theory that Disney was planning to release this on DVD but cancelled it last minute. And the footage featured in this documentary proves my theory.
When the original movie came out, I was 8 years old. Mom and I were on vacation with a friend of mom’s, and her 3 daughters and son. There was a mixup on time somehow and the only way we could see the movie was 2nd half first, then the first half. Still, loved the movie. 🙂. Interesting little documentary here. 👍🙂‼️
My favorite Herbie is the one from The Love Bug 1969 and 1997 movies. I also love the Junkyard, ProStreet, and Demolition Derby Herbies from Herbie: Fully Loaded film in 2006. I didn't really like the NASCAR version because it took away Herbie's lovable appearance. But the stripes on the side were cool though. Someday I'm hoping to have my own Herbie. I'll customize him like the one from the 1969 film The Love Bug. Herbie will always be a lovable little Ragtop 1963 Volkswagen Type 1(Beetle) that we all know and love. (0)\(53)/(0)
Hollywood always screws things up today,.. great video to watch thanks for posting! I once owned one of these cars,.. Love Herbie! Favorite Herbie film was with Don Knotts! (Two greats in one movie, Don and Herbie lol) Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo.
I only ever knew about the early 2000’s movie with Lindsey Lohan although i always remember it seeming like there was more history to the car. Neat to finally find out
,Exelentes autos, cómo le decimos aqui en Chile ESCARABAJOS, son verdaderos jeep, para todo terreno, me dió muchas satisfacciones. ESCARSBAJO. LO MEJOR EN AUTOS
I'm nowhere born around the time those movie were made but i remenber seing them when i was younger and they bring back memories my mom loves the beetle and that's why i saw them althought i'm 17
Flynn McGuckin 1963 and 1965 models are used, windows are larger in some takes, looks weird. Light and fog is just Hollywood carp, love crap? crap is the best! Love Disney movies? Jodie Foster? Jodie smart, guess so.....Disney smart, just for kids!
Flynn McGuckin English to hard for you, unable to understand or say what you need? You got skills? what do you need? USE GOOGLE, READ BOOKS! here only bullshit! stop thinking that weird shit, read, study, get skills!
The "rust"look Herbie from Herbie Bananas was about 20 years spotted in Azusa Cal. It was then sold to a Dutch car collector who recently sold the car to a Porsche dealer in near Arnhem. That dealer also owns a Herbie that is steered from the backseat. Both of the cars are displayed there between lots of other classic air cooled Volkswagens and old Porsches.
Drained all the fluids out of one took it to the Odeon cinema in Bristol turned it on its side to get it into the foya for the opening of the first film ,Renwicks Garages had a few of them with all the decals on used to drive them around Bristol Center to premote the film ,(good old days)
The lighter and darker grey tops could just be down to lighting or different types of film or something.. Looked about the same to me at 3:27. Or near as makes no difference....
One of the herbie is in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Our orchestra teacher got to drive herbie in the homecoming parade. Sometimes I see him driving around town.
There's also one sitting on the bottom of the Pacific ocean somewhere. They never bothered to retrieve the stripped-down Herbie that Harvey Korman dumped off the cruise ship in "Herbie Goes Bananas" (1980).
Poor Herbie. LOL. I had a 68 Beetle and a 71 bus. Sold the Beetle for $50, the bus for $300. Back in the day. Man, I wish I had kept them. Worth way more today even in bad shape and they weren't. Doh
So what happened lore/story wise between the last Herbie movie and that crap Disney one that came out in like 2007? Always wanted to know why he got sent to the scrapyard
I'd personally have to say that Herbie looked the best in Herbie Goes Bananas, of course prior to being rusted from being dumped into the sea. I feel that HGB Herbie had a nice combination of racing-inspired detail and the understated and almost "sleeper" look. Herbie looked too factory in The Love Bug, Herbie Rides Again, and in the TV Series (not to mention I never cared for the striping color and number placement on Love Bug Herbie), then he looked too racey in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, and Herbie just looked God-awful in the 1997 TV Remake and Herbie Fully Loaded.
I agree, in my opinion Herbie has better design in "Herbie Goes bananas" (Although I also like his design in HGTMC, I also think he looked ugly in "The Love Bug 1997" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded")
They should do another Herbie or just call the movie Drift Bug, and this time Herbie is in Japan drifting kind of similar to what the popularity of drifting in Japan. In a way how about the Fully Loaded Herbie.
Herbie fully Loaded The 53 Went back to the Front of the hood The red stripe got bigger The stripe still wasn’t put on the sunroof Herbie’s front license plate is gone And The chrome aging Was still on top of the 53 Those are herbie changes in fully Loaded
Growing up one of my Family's first cars was a VW Bug. It was a great little car, I remember how I use to climb into the front seat and pretend I was driving it.
Probably because Disney doesn't care about the Herbie franchise anymore, even though Fully Loaded still managed to make some money at the box-office back when it was released. I think a new movie or a Disney+ series would be awesome, all done in the same tone as the original films, but revamped enough to lure in newer audiences, like what Cobra Kai did for the Karate Kid movies. Like have it to where Herbie's inherited to Jim's long-lost son or grandson, and maybe they have a bit of rocky relationship at first, but eventually bond and he starts using and winning races with Herbie. I'd love to bring back Horace somewhere in the mix, like recreated from bits of scrap metal recovered in that pit he falls in Love Bug '97. Or have some chatacter with some relation with or characteristics of Peter Thorndyke. I think Herbie Returns to Monte Carlo would be a awesome title and premise for a sequel, though. Maybe we could have a Horace showdown there? Just a bunch of ideas, so please excuse my rambling. 😆
@@RetroGamerK91 Yeah, I like that tbh, does not feel like that long ago that Fully Loaded came out, it was okay, but does not mean it is the end of the franchise, maybe a revamped of the franchise and introduce relative to the OG cast, give a Mary Poppins Returns treatment or go a completely different directions, bring back old cars like car friends and foes as well as new ones, Herbie son or grandson should be the latest Beetle that now got discontinued recently, a series would be cool tbh, they can do whatever with it, also love to go back to San Francisco where they return to the old Original location where the series began from, so yeah
@@RetroGamerK91 Yeah Disney should have brought back Herbie instead of Ice Age. I'm personally fine with a new cast since the original people from the first four moves are deceased but as long as they keep the setting like the 1990's/2000's/early 2010's and don't put any modern political/LGBT crap in it. No, I'm not against the LGBT community but I prefer it to stay out of pre-existing movies and animation and only put in original ideas.
He missed the original stunt car bought by swigart museum in PA! They actually have two of them! The original stunt car, and the one from Herbie rides again!
I’ve always had a curiosity of how they came up with the ideal of how he came to be created as a little love bug with feelings and determination of his character that he can win every race for such a little car like he’s the little engine that could
There is a Herbie located at Electric Dreams slot car where house in El Segundo (West of Los Angeles). Not sure if it is authentic or just a replica, but it’s fun to see.
in the love Bug (1968),the original movie, Herbie was a 1959 fjord blue deluxe sedan which was converted into a 1963 type 1 ,painted pearl white......in Bananas (1980) was a 1963 type 1, in monte Carlo(1977) it was a 1963 type 1...in Rides Again (1974) it was a 1963 type 1...the spotlamp on the front was put there to house a camera to aid the stuntman to drive from the back seat when Herbie drives with no one at the wheel,for the next movie the spotlamp was kept for continuity purposes.in Fully Loaded (2005) herbie was a 1963 type 1...in the love Bug TV series (1982) it was a 1963 type 1
I'm very happy to hear that Dean Jones owned one of the original Herbie VW's from the first film. If anyone was the most deserving of this car, it was Mr. Jones. Dean was a great actor and a real gentleman. Rest Peacefully Dean Jones, thanks for the memories.

I loved the Herbie movies when I was a kid and still do to this day❤
Can we have a moment of silence for the herbie stunt car that wasnt mentioned that was left in the ocean
🖖
Yeah, it totally sucks they never recovered it.

I was fortunate enough to go for a spin in the Porsche powered racing Herbie (H2) that was in 'The Love Bug.' It's owned by Terry's Beetle Service in Hanwell, London.
That must've been a thrill. How cool.
Monte Carlo is the coolest version of Herbie.
I agree

I agree
In the original movies the whole interior paint was changed to flat grey so the studio lights would not reflect on camera. Bugs dash and doors were always the same as the exterior color but they realized the shiny white and chrome had too many issues.
I cried. Herbie was my childhood.
tardis35 yeah. The memories man. That music in the start of the video :)
Me too buddy. me too

Don't you just love them Volkswagen
Well guess what if you have Disney plus you can watch all the old Herbie moives!
Bring Herbie back. Bring Herbie back. RIP Dean Jones.
When I was a kid, I wanted a VW beetle painted up like this SO bad...
Yooo same ma dude
I have a Herbie and take him to car shows and have won many trophies. People love him . Funny thing I never seen any of the movies till I bought the car. Roadside find.

How can anyone NOT like Herbie? I would do anything to buy a Classic VW Beetle, colored White with blue and red pinstripes and put the number 53.

I love see if ever did another Herbie in NASCAR racing, one greatest film movie ever made. Truly love them all .
I still have all of my Herbie movies. I loved watching those movies when I was growing up.
I Love Herbie ❤️❤️👍
good old herbie
I remember I saw the Love Bug movie and Herbie goes Monte Carlo. They were good movies from the library.
If they were still making these today.....we would have a REAL self driving HERBIE.....
There's even one Herbie at the bottom of the ocean.
Everyone calls the 1997 Love Bug movie a remake, but I decline this because due to some reasons, that make this one unique:
1). Herbie's origin story
2). Herbie's death and revival
3). The appearance of Jim Douglas/Dean Jones
4). Horace the Hate Bug
Herbie is Volkswagen , The car that has a soul and connects with people.
This was a major movie event when I was a kid...at our theatre there was a full replica of a Herbie in the lobby ...how neat is that.
Yes! I saw “ rides again” at Parmatown mall in Cleveland. The local VW dealership donated one to sit in the mall. It was actually a “ super beetle” ie: tinted glass, a/c and a curved windshield instead of flat that the regular bugs got back then. They applied the decals stripes and 53. They looked removeable if desired.
Loved this show. Watched when ever I could
Herbie 🤗❤
In Germany was in the 90s a racing VW in the Herbie-colours driven by "Fast Eddy Henkel" with success. It raced in the "Käfer-Cup".
I have always had a theory that Disney was planning to release this on DVD but cancelled it last minute.
And the footage featured in this documentary proves my theory.
This was on the 2 disc edition of The Love Bug I remember watching it all the time as a kid even got the 4 film set for my birthday in 2005.
Herbie should be in Disneyland because he was a Disney star
The changes mentioned are only minor and cosmetic.
I enjoyed the Herbie movies throughout my childhood. Always fun
One of best movie cars ever
When the original movie came out, I was 8 years old. Mom and I were on vacation with a friend of mom’s, and her 3 daughters and son. There was a mixup on time somehow and the only way we could see the movie was 2nd half first, then the first half.
Still, loved the movie.

Interesting little documentary here.
👍🙂‼️
Herbie... The memories of seeing this car in movies are coming back to me...
This was released before fully loaded came out
Who remembers the Volkswagen logo having a VW with no separation in the middle of it?
My favorite Herbie is the one from The Love Bug 1969 and 1997 movies. I also love the Junkyard, ProStreet, and Demolition Derby Herbies from Herbie: Fully Loaded film in 2006. I didn't really like the NASCAR version because it took away Herbie's lovable appearance. But the stripes on the side were cool though. Someday I'm hoping to have my own Herbie.

I only ever knew about the early 2000’s movie with Lindsey Lohan although i always remember it seeming like there was more history to the car. Neat to finally find out
Herbie was restored several times throughout the movies though. So that would explain the change from the movie's prospective.
Nice, but where is the Fully Loaded Herbie???
This documentary was made before Herbie Fully Loaded came out
ok, thank you!
FilmesEditados this documentary was in 2003.
Yes I agree.
Jalen Moran that right.
I watched all the movies, I miss this so much
He never mentioned Herbie Fully Loaded
Leo Mullen this fsme out before the documentary he says
Leo Mullen the video was made in 2003.
I wouldn't either lol. It was terrible.
Yes i love herbies old days
You mention all of the bananas ones but don't mention that the overboard bug is still swimming with the fishes... well not so much swimming.

Herbie was my childhood I'm crying I loved herbie fully loaded it was scrap on when's hill street I'm 33 I'm so crying
That was fun to watch!
I think Herbie looked the best in Herbie Rides Again. I like the added fog light and his standard VW wheels. He looks very smart 🚗
Flynn McGuckin
1963 and 1965 models are used, windows are larger in some takes, looks weird. Light and fog is just Hollywood carp, love crap? crap is the best! Love Disney movies? Jodie Foster? Jodie smart, guess so.....Disney smart, just for kids!

colin that is a great memory! did they do that for all the original films?
We love you herbie 😙
Herbie successfully won the races for decades since maggie's victory at the nascar race.
For me the worst film was herbie goes bananas
Herbie looked his best in that film imo
The lighter and darker grey tops could just be down to lighting or different types of film or something.. Looked about the same to me at 3:27. Or near as makes no difference....
I never gave all this detail the slightest thought... whew...
One of the herbie is in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Our orchestra teacher got to drive herbie in the homecoming parade. Sometimes I see him driving around town.
I’ve heard that it’s awful to drive him though because the clutch is like 20 pounds and driving him in a parade is hell.
There's also one sitting on the bottom of the Pacific ocean somewhere. They never bothered to retrieve the stripped-down Herbie that Harvey Korman dumped off the cruise ship in "Herbie Goes Bananas" (1980).
Great video
Poor Herbie. LOL. I had a 68 Beetle and a 71 bus. Sold the Beetle for $50, the bus for $300. Back in the day. Man, I wish I had kept them. Worth way more today even in bad shape and they weren't. Doh
So what happened lore/story wise between the last Herbie movie and that crap Disney one that came out in like 2007? Always wanted to know why he got sent to the scrapyard

cool idea!
Herbie fully Loaded
The 53 Went back to the Front of the hood
The red stripe got bigger
The stripe still wasn’t put on the sunroof
Herbie’s front license plate is gone
And The chrome aging Was still on top of the 53
Those are herbie changes in fully Loaded
Growing up one of my Family's first cars was a VW Bug. It was a great little car, I remember how I use to climb into the front seat and pretend I was driving it.
How come we haven't had another Herbie movie in years?
Probably because Disney doesn't care about the Herbie franchise anymore, even though Fully Loaded still managed to make some money at the box-office back when it was released. I think a new movie or a Disney+ series would be awesome, all done in the same tone as the original films, but revamped enough to lure in newer audiences, like what Cobra Kai did for the Karate Kid movies. Like have it to where Herbie's inherited to Jim's long-lost son or grandson, and maybe they have a bit of rocky relationship at first, but eventually bond and he starts using and winning races with Herbie. I'd love to bring back Horace somewhere in the mix, like recreated from bits of scrap metal recovered in that pit he falls in Love Bug '97. Or have some chatacter with some relation with or characteristics of Peter Thorndyke. I think Herbie Returns to Monte Carlo would be a awesome title and premise for a sequel, though. Maybe we could have a Horace showdown there? Just a bunch of ideas, so please excuse my rambling. 😆
@@RetroGamerK91 Yeah, I like that tbh, does not feel like that long ago that Fully Loaded came out, it was okay, but does not mean it is the end of the franchise, maybe a revamped of the franchise and introduce relative to the OG cast, give a Mary Poppins Returns treatment or go a completely different directions, bring back old cars like car friends and foes as well as new ones, Herbie son or grandson should be the latest Beetle that now got discontinued recently, a series would be cool tbh, they can do whatever with it, also love to go back to San Francisco where they return to the old Original location where the series began from, so yeah

Yeah Disney should have brought back Herbie instead of Ice Age. I'm personally fine with a new cast since the original people from the first four moves are deceased but as long as they keep the setting like the 1990's/2000's/early 2010's and don't put any modern political/LGBT crap in it. No, I'm not against the LGBT community but I prefer it to stay out of pre-existing movies and animation and only put in original ideas.
He missed the original stunt car bought by swigart museum in PA! They actually have two of them! The original stunt car, and the one from Herbie rides again!
this reminds me about how bumblebee was gonna happen to him in transformers 6 : bumblebee
I’ve always had a curiosity of how they came up with the ideal of how he came to be created as a little love bug with feelings and determination of his character that he can win every race for such a little car like he’s the little engine that could
But guess what Herbie is still living in Herbie full loaded.
I've seen some fan made herbie cars in Michigan.
This before returning in Herbie full loaded.
Did any herbie from rides again survive
nice. But the Herbie owned by Dean was defo not the trick car from TLB, it was a parade vehicle. Surprised he got that so wrong to be honest!
Yeah, his authority in general is a bit dubious, to be perfectly honest.
agreed, i don't know why he was considered the best person to give an opinion. Altho he's enthusiastic which is fair enough
Yeah, he certainly loves that car!
There is one from one of the movies in the celebrity hotel in Deadwood SD.
I just talkedto friend about this movie. god I miss it I watched it when I was like 4-6
There is a Herbie located at Electric Dreams slot car where house in El Segundo (West of Los Angeles). Not sure if it is authentic or just a replica, but it’s fun to see.
I have all movies of herbie
Theirs a local museum near me in Pennsylvania that has a herbie
in the love Bug (1968),the original movie, Herbie was a 1959 fjord blue deluxe sedan which was converted into a 1963 type 1 ,painted pearl white......in Bananas (1980) was a 1963 type 1, in monte Carlo(1977) it was a 1963 type 1...in Rides Again (1974) it was a 1963 type 1...the spotlamp on the front was put there to house a camera to aid the stuntman to drive from the back seat when Herbie drives with no one at the wheel,for the next movie the spotlamp was kept for continuity purposes.in Fully Loaded (2005) herbie was a 1963 type 1...in the love Bug TV series (1982) it was a 1963 type 1
