"You wanna know the secret of the little car? - It's heart. That's what it is." -Tennessee Steinmetz Truer words were never spoken. Thank you, Herbie. Thank you for a wonderful childhood. No matter what happens, whether Disney ever acknowledges again or not, I'll always remember you. You are and always will be my favorite Disney character. Period. Happy 50th, you cute little fella.
As a air-cooled VW enthusiast, I was thrilled when the Herbie's 50th Anniversary group pulled into the Lakeland Classic VW Show on Sun March 17th, a day I'll never forget. It saddens me at VW shows, when I see children walk past Herbie and not realize who he is, and what he represents! Parents...introduce your children to the Herbie movies, it's TIMELESS!!!!!!!
Reflecting on the past 18 years of my life, it was Herbie that has shaped me into the man I am today. It all began with seeing Herbie Fully Loaded in theaters at age 5, and it was the first movie I ever went to see. After that, I discovered the originals and bought them all in a DVD set, and I was in total awe at all the amazing things such a little car could do. Herbie taught me how to accept people for who they are and to never judge a book by its cover, and that has been one of the most important lessons in my life. Since then, my love for Herbie and Volkswagens evolved into a love for all cars and it turned me into a complete gearhead. I went from having Herbies in Forza games and drawing pictures of Bugs in the middle of class to eventually buying my own VW, a 2015 Beetle that I have affectionatly named Oxford. We have been on many adventures together from my first date, car shows, and even to being stopped in the middle of a country road changing out a flat tire, and he has essentially become my Herbie. Now, I am about to start a new chapter of my life as I go to college to pursue a degree in Industrial Design and hopefully become an automotive designer, and it is all this passion and dedication I have that I have Herbie to thank for. Happy 50th Herbie, we will always love you for the sad little bucket of bolts you are. ❤️
@@VertexStyle Wow, really? Well, you know what they say, everyone comes from somewhere. I personally am severely impressed with the content you have on this channel, and I hope for the best in your future!
@@VertexStyle If there's a new herbie movie from Disney from where we left off from herbie fully loaded the new owner of herbie should be Jim Douglas Jr. What do u think of that please tell me.
Great to finally see this on RUclips Marcel! Thanks again for putting all the time and effort into this. It was phenomenal to see this on the "big screen" during the makeshift drive in showing of The Love Bug. Keep up the great work pal!
I gotta be honest this community is so great! I like... wish more people knew about this and what The Love Bug really represents... but I believe you truly captured the community in this video! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today! 😁
Dear Herbie the Love Bug, You are an amazing little VW Beetle. I’m glad you rolled into my life. Hope you’ll see me sometime! Happy 50th, you cutie of a car! Your Snow Queen Friend, IcePrincess66 ~❄️
Wish I could have been there!! Unfortunately, life gets in the way, but I swear I'll be at one of these events, one day, and one day with my own Herbie. Awesome vid, Vertex.
@@goldenbeetle7995 me too and we should spread the word to Disney. Tell me what herbie movie do u wanna see right where we left off from herbie fully loaded
What if they mad a movie where the Nascar scene from Fully Loaded was only a dream since he dreams in Rides Again. He's still banged up but Jim fixed him before passing away. Jim's grandson inherits the car in his will and it's a family reunion. Herbie lives again thanks to Jim and his grandson goes through the same events the other owners have been through. Lots of nostalgia and it makes Fully Loaded like it never existed. It'll be called The Love Bug: Reunion
One time when I was probably 4 years old, I saw (what I like to call) the “tuner” version of Herbie from Herbie Fully Loaded in a Wienerschnitzels parking lot. It was quite literally the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life and now I’m sad because I don’t think my Dad took pictures. That or if we still have pictures if he did take them, or if the car is still around. But man, I love Herbie
As a Herbie owner ( unfortunately not perfect as theese on the video ) this tribute makes me cry !!!! Herbie was my dream car since I was 4 and my dad show me Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo !!!!! Now I own my Herbie , as I said not perfect as theese but its my Herbie!!!!! A dream cane true !!! Hope One day to finish mine as HgtMC perfect replica !!!!! Davide from Italy

Shame we don’t get anything official for the 50th. But this was a nice suprise.

There are a lot of original Herbies and very accurate replicas all over the world. Keep an eye open and you will find one ;)
