many a film have put out the notion that animal pet and dog and cat etc and have to find the people they be suit for . but until disney studio put out the love bug and car definitely do not seek out their owner . yet that what happen when one day race driver dean jones come into the auto show room of david tomlinson who usually deal in the most pricey of car . this little volkswagen offend his dignity somewhat and tomlinson abuse it . jones defend it however . but what neither of them know and but jones soon find out be that this unprepossessing beetle have a mind all it own . and when it want to the beetle have speed like nothing else . when tomlinson find out what he lose and he will stop at nothing to get herbie back . he be give a name now and by buddy hackett who play jones mechanic . he the first to really realize how special herbie be . i be willing to bet that those who succeed uncle walt at the magic kingdom never realize just what a franchise the love bug would prove to be . this and all the succeed film make lot of money for the studio and herbie still have plenty of life leave in him a his most recent out a year or so ago with lindsay lohan ought to prove . herbie quite the romantic too . he even help win the heart of michele lee for jones . but this be a disney film so that kind of a give . this first love bug movie have a good cast of support player who be find the disney studio their employer of last resort . where else can you see someone like iris adrian in a brief and but very funny role a a carhop or joe e. ross a a policeman . it one of the reason i like the disney film in general . the love bug set a good standard for the future film . it get laugh and also plenty of heart and soul .
