That Lovable Bug

[@Clover.Indi20]

During quarantine, I decided to watch Fully Loaded, since I remembered watching it in kindergarten, and I fell in love with Herbie. I was kinda scared to watch the originals though, because I was worried that the old effects and the editing of that time would make Herbie not cute. Now, however, The Love Bug is my favorite and me and my little sisters all love Herbie.

[@sukhdevr3489]

Yep, I've been watching them too. There aren't any good modern car movies tbh. I can't believe a movie from 1969 is so good.

[@rafazen2849]

Same here

[@Kaidenstudios2011]

Me too :D

[@tynewlin]

I'm so happy to hear that younger generations can be brought into the family even with Fully Loaded, my least favorite of the films. As a child growing up in the 90's, Herbie was a fourth beaten franchise with a "made-for-TV" movie in '97. I really had no concept of special effects or CGI, which was in its infancy, and Herbie just seemed absolutely magical to me. Truly the only "Disney magic" I've ever actually felt. It just seemed so raw, visceral and real, and now I know why - because they were actually filming full-sized, full-action shots; all the danger was absolutely real with the stunts and speed. I always assumed they were speeding up the film and telling other drivers to go slowly, but they actually souped up some Beetles and filmed these shots at speed. It's just like watching a good magician doing slight-of-hand tricks, because that was how special effects were done. They were real. Partly why Fully Loaded was annoying for me, because of all the CGI. Anyway, not to rant, but I will rave about how much I loved Herbie. It's the main reason I got into cars and work on them today.

[@V8N8T]

I've only watched the originals(including the TV series) I've had a hard time even attempting to watch herbie fully loaded

[@Nate_Lloyd]

Buddy Hackett was basically the human form of Herbie in that movie! He was perfect for his role!

[@jraystudios2349]

Despite being born in 2000 I grew up watching this movie I remember when herbie fully loaded was upon release and to this day my dream car will remain a 63 bug like herbie to this day I still watch the herbie movies and it never gets old he really is that lovable bug

[@joaquim9305]

Jray Studios me too, ( but l was Born in 2004, in Brazil ).

[@sankustomgarage1561]

I still remembered, when I was about 4 years old, I saw a small scene of Herbie Fully Loaded in TV, that was the scene where Maggie bought Herbie from Junkyard. In that time, I know nothing about Herbie, so I thought that's just a scrap car, I think that was 2006 or 2007 when I saw the scene (and my age was 3-4 years old in that time). Now, on 2018, after 11 years, I'm now realized that the car I called "Scrap" 11 years old is a Legend (and still)!! From then, I became a Herbie crew, and Volkswagen Beetle got a big place in my heart!!!

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

Herbie will NEVER die! These days (April 2020) my twin 4 year old grandsons LOVE watching Herbie movies!

[@GregoryAmicar57]

I love Herbie so much, that's why my dream car will be a Volkswagen Bug!

[@labyfan1313]

The story of people patting the Beetle when they had the casting call for the car made me cry. I can't imagine the Love Bug being anything other than a VW Beetle. Any other car would definitely feel cold in comparison to the character and cuteness the Beetle has in it's appearance all on it's own. My grandparents introduced me to the Love Bug films as a child and I loved them and Herbie. Still do.

[@karlpeterson9334]

Considering how the wheel was attached to the drum brake, and how the wheel loss stunt played out, both wheels should have fallen off at the same time. That, and the stint defied real physics of how the wheel falls off of a pre-1968 Volkswagen; this is from personal experience.

[@MLJ7956]

Too bad they never included this on the Blu-ray release 😢

[@andrewdrabble8939]

Hard to believe that what has now become the cars name (The Beetle) has become so synonymous with it. Volkswagen never actually called the car the Beetle and although the German name for it (Kafer) means beetle, it only had the designation Type 1

[@largol33t1]

Also, a lot of people mistakenly think it's a person's name. It isn't. It's a marketing term coined by Hitler (yes, der fuehrer). It literally means "The people's car." He wanted cheap, reliable transportation for working class Germans. Unfortunately, its Nazi past cannot be denied. The VW was partly the brainchild of Ferdinand Porsche, who was known to be a member of the Nazi party.

[@charliered420]

3:26 This isn't the VW they used to cast Herbie, this was David Evans' car (see the Herbie Mania video) before restoration in 1995

It was 2006, I was 3, my town had a drive in theater and the were playing the original love bug. My parents said that I loved the movie with I still do. But evertime I saw a old beetle, it was herbie to my little mind. As fate happened in my grandads barn, there was a powder blue 1965 Bug. When I saw that car It was as you guessed, Herbie. Well my paw (grandad) managed to talk my step great grandpa into keeping the car and giving it to me. I've had that car for 17 years so far and I haven't restored him yet but I've turned down lots of money for that little car. It will be turned into my own herbie. Yall have a good day or night. Thank you for reading a small snippet of my story.

1:10 That’s the Crosley Hotshot he’s talking about. That’s also an underdog car with a teeny engine.

I own a 72 bug and I too pat it when i walk past it on the drive and it's something I can't help do because it's such a wonderful car, I drive a modern car then get in Betsy, my bug and I have a smile all the time I'm driving her 😎

[@nonelost1]

8:34… This frame shows a shot of Herbie's dashboard with no gas gauge (between the speedometer and the radio), proving that 1963 was not the only year of bugs used to make the Love Bug movies.1961 was the last year they made bugs without gas gauges. Actually, any 1958 to 1963 sunroof bug can be made into a Herbie without prohibitive cost, for close-up scenes lasting more than a split second. In this split second shot, most people are not likely to notice the difference. And if they did, most would not care. Why? Because the difference is insignificant. This is why no split window or oval window bug was ever used for any close-ups lasting more than a few seconds. The difference in the rear window would be too noticeable to the average viewer! 19:43…The one on the right does not have the correct rear deck lid and license plate light, but instead has one which came off of an oval window (1953-1957) bug. Whereas, the one on the left is a righteous Herbie!

[@Nate_Lloyd]

The one on the right at 19:43 was a 57 converted into a 63! They cut the rear oval to make it like that of a 63! The deck lid was correct for that car! It was the 10th Herbie used in that film and is actually one of the few surviving beetles from the movie!

Herbie already have a cameo appearance in Disney Pixar CARS (first movie), if you look closely then you'll see that the insects flying around are actually not real insects, they're white Volkswagen Beetle cars with wings. 100% prove that's a reference to Herbie, because they're also the only cars in the whole CARS franchise that wouldn't talk (most likely because Herbie never talk in any of the movies and used his horn instead)!!
