  • The Love Bug was the first in a series of movies made by Walt Disney Productions that starred a white Volkswagen racing Beetle named Herbie. It was based on the 1961 book Car, Boy, Girl by Gordon Buford. It follows the adventures of Herbie, his driver Jim Douglas (Dean Jones), and Jim's love interest, Carole Bennet (Michele Lee). It also features Buddy Hackett as Jim's enlightened, kind-hearted friend, Tennessee Steinmetz, a character who creates "art" from used car parts. English actor David Tomlinson portrays the devilishly evil Peter Thorndyke, the owner of the auto showroom and a SCCA national champion who sells Herbie to Jim and eventually becomes his racing rival. It was the highest-grossing film of 1969.
  • The Love Bug is the ninth episode of Series Seven.
  • A series of Disney live-action films (the first in the series was one of the last movies personally overseen by Walt Disney) concerning the adventures of Sentient Vehicle Herbie, a '63 Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own.
  • (The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from The Love Bug) Doug (vo): Have you ever wanted to see a child-friendly version of Christine? Well, The Love Bug is it.
  • There were several films and series made about Herbie, the Love Bug. Here is a list: * The Love Bug (1969) * Herbie Rides Again (1974) * Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977) * Herbie Goes Bananas (1980) * Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) * The Love Bug (short-lived 1982 TV series) * The Love Bug, 1997 made-for-TV remake of The Love Bug (1969)
