Herbie history: 1969 - 2003

Learn about that lovable VW, Herbie! This was a special feature that came out in 2003 - two years before Herbie: Fully Loaded.

[@arbytv5139]

You’ll have to watch the movie to find out, it’s available on KZbin actually. By the way, the evil Herbie is really named Horace.

[@xvoidxhunter2129]

Ik this is an old comment, but i have to say narratively speaking Horace is created from the emotion of the scottsmans character ego rather than the love and care that the creator gave the original Herbie The reason he was destroyed was because of his rage and the explosive modifications given to him by his owner, you could even go as far as to say Horace is a tragic story as he is only destroyed because of the issues his owner gave him by making him out of greed and jealousy rather than love and care. But his owner payed the price in the end as we all know, perhaps in a different timeline they couldve remade him like they did Herbie

[@CowboysNo1Fan]

My Herbie Movie idea: Pop Star Herbie Plot: Herbie is given to a young pop star named Phoebe (Demi Lovato) for her Sweet 16. She is then surprised that Herbie talks and sings with his horn, moves around on his own and can dance. She decides to take him on tour with popular artists like Shakira, J-Lo, Katy Perry, Maroon 5 and BTS. One night during the tour, a thunderstorm hits NYC and the concert is postponed. Will Herbie and Phoebe save the biggest concert of the year?

This is what disney is trying to do with the muppets. Make them modern, herbie and the muppets are almost the same case because disney has abandoned them, and it would hurt my soul if they make this movie a reality. Im not trying to be mean, thats just my opinion

I've been a Herbie fan for decades, love the big screen films, but I was horrified in 1997, The Love Bug remake was released for television and the evil Volkswagen "Horace" The Hate Bug, actually killed Herbie during the movie, although Herbie was brought back to life later in the film, It always bothered me that Disney executives allowed this to happen. I personally would have never allowed Herbie to die. Disney had to get tons of hate mail over that scene.

[@Josh-fq9me]

Danny Rumbles I mean herbie tried to kill himself in the love bug bridge scene

[@probochronicles3991]

I imagine the scene in Herbie Goes Bananas when he's dumped off the cruise ship generated just as much heat at the time. I have been a die hard Herbie fan my whole life and to this day that scene stills bothers me, and that movie overall is my least favorite of the entire franchise.

The 1997 TV movie wasn't a remake. It may have had the same title, but it's a sequel. Heck, even Dean Jones is in it AS an older Jim Douglas! Also, Bananas is probably the worst out of the original quadrilogy, but that plank scene is very sad.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

Did you ever see the 1982 Herbie Mini-Series. And if so, what did you think?

[@vontavius01]

It's sort of a weird case that I've honestly never seen before: it's half remake and half sequel. It's a remake in that it shares the same plot as the first film, some scenes have similar set ups and both movies end the same way and even use the same ending line word for word ("I don't know, Herbie hasn't told us yet."). It's a sequel in that it references the previous events (though, only the first movies events. The other 3 are ignored completely) as canon, and it does expand the story, obviously by explaining where Herbie came from.
