Dad... Can I Borrow the Car?

- Hard to believe there was a time when even Walt Disney Studios could turn out something like this. As mentioned in the comments, much credit goes to Director Ward Kimball, who had a surprising amount of creative freedom compared with what we're now accustomed.
Glimpse into the golden age of American car culture- seen through a teen's journey for the prized driver's license. Surviving driver's ed. is only the beginning, as there will be the road test and then ultimately getting permission from dad... to borrow the car.
This is a recording I'm grateful my dad had the foresight to make and I've grown up watching this on VHS many times over. Glad to be able to share it with you all!

I don't mean to brag or anything but the baby in the car with his parents at the beginning of the film was actually played by my uncle when he was a baby, no kidding! I watched this film on vhs a bunch of times as a kid also, disney was so great back then!
Samuel Black That’s cool 😎. He was a cutie. Ya know what I was thinking when I first saw him? “Yeah parents were so stupid back then putting the baby in the middle of mom and dad in the front seat of the car. “. My mother in law pulled the console down so my 2 year could sit on it with no seatbelt. I had a ‘65 baby blue mustang. I was gonna paint it candy apple red. It had mag wheels and a 302 engine (whatever that means) cuz I am a girl. I got a ‘79 Mustang too which I regretted. Nothing ever worked on it. My favorite, favorite vehicle was my ‘77 Luv Pickup. I still wish I had that. It was baby blue too😢😍
Could I get his autograph? I mean footprints?
Very cool! Saw your uncle when this first came out. I was 14.
The film is narrated by then-Disney actor Kurt Russell, who was 18 at the time the film was made, and could therefore easily identify with the film's subject matter. The film was directed by the late Ward Kimball, one of Disney's legendary "Nine Old Men," who also directed the Oscar winning short, "It's Tough To Be A Bird." Both films are now recognized, not only for Kimball's technical skill, but also for his zany sense of humor, reminiscent of the equally legendary Tex Avery (who, ironically, also worked for Disney for a brief period during World War II).
I watch this thing at least once a year. I show everyone that use car salesman's brilliant monologue. This should be an extra on the bluray for Used Cars.
A great movie. Thanks for sharing it. Disney, the company, used to have a wicked sense of humor, which is missed nowadays.
Especially where Ward Kimball was concerned; he was sort of being the "bad boy," the real eccentric iconoclast among the "Nine Old Men."
I remember bits and pieces of this. The wreck in the simulator, racing stripes, and the car wash.
Thanks for posting this video, I remember watching this back in the early 70's and loving it! Surprising how much I remember 40 years later!
me too
13:11 to 13:55 Funny part….I laughed and I laughed and I laughed!!
I remember watching this when I was a kid - this version and the edited version, which had some scenes cut. I swear the talking cars were the best parts of the entire movie.
The best part is this song: 0:36
Both versions contain some material that is unique to them. The 30 min. version is much tighter and impactful, though, so it's the one I recommend to people. I find this one to be the video equivalent of an extended dance mix in music -- great to switch to for a change when you've worn out the original "hit single version".
(You *have* spotted Frank Zappa at the 45:13 point, right?)
Great little movie. The drivers ed scene was filmed at Buena High School in Ventura about 2 years before I got there. The teacher's name was Mr. Wiggins, and he was my teacher in real life. Good memories!
+Robert Hill Didn't know that, pretty cool!
Holy sheep shit. My brother kris and I were obsessed with this program, we gooned from beginning to end.
I remember being about 9 or so waiting for this episode to rerun just to see it once more. Here we are almost 50 years later. What a unique treasure to come across.
I remember seeing this film back around the same time I got my driver's license back in 1987.
I also think the ones who dislike this are millennials who just don't get it!
I remember watching this on the Wonderful World of Disney back in 1977. I thought it was quite different from the usual Disney fare of the time. Great stuff!
Thank you for posting this. I can remember watching this 40 years ago on Grandma's colour TV. The pinstripping scene was most memorable !!
9:41 if only drivers ed was this awesome back in my day!!
I remember seeing this on television when I was about 7 or 8. This is my first viewing in nearly 45 years.
Mitchell Pak...same here! I was 8 in '72...but ever since then, "movin' down the highway, free as I can be" has been in my head!!
I never saw this on TV; only in a theater.
Speed Felon from Mighty Misdemeanor Motors always cracked me up... 35:08
I can't wait for this day to come to fruition in my life. ❤
the simulator looked fun
My favourite part was where they go through the car-wash with the top down!
Thank you very much for posting this! I remember watching this as a kid. Damn, the memories!
I remember watching this on the Disney channel after Dtv music show. (back when Disney channel was awesome like the young Mtv) such innovation back then, compared to the regurgitated unimaginative waste on TV nowadays.
"one of a kind oddity" - yeah, that's Ward Kimball for you. Some considered his move to TV being something of a demotion, but really it was freeing him and his creativity. The works he did for "Tomorrowland" on TV and things like this remain timeless and couldn't have been done by any other, and inspired other artists to do similar things (such as the intro to the Worlds Fair episode).
His legacy lives on - the Pixar piece "Your Friend, The Rat" is clearly inspired by this kind of chaotic way of making a documentary.
I watched this when it premiered. Absolutely loved it and couldn’t wait to see it again, but of course you had to wait another year or two! What’s really cool is I remember about 95% of it! I knew the scenes and dialogue! Groooovy!!!
This brings back great memories . Its 7:00 pm , Sunday Night Time for Wonderful world of Disney!
39:36 great refrence to herbie the love bug.. but.. with voice and I love how he talks from the hood
I was in 1st grade when I first saw this film! The car speeding-with the guys head flying off at 1:04, I thought that was the funniest thing I had ever seen!!! It still makes me laugh all these years later!! Thanks so much for posting this!!!!!
Yeah, I think I was about that age, too! (Or maybe slightly younger.)
I would've been about the kid's age when this came out. Missed it somehow. Thanks for giving me another opportunity to see this minor classic!
Saw this when it first shown in .. 1970 ? on the Disney Wonderful World of Color. I remember thinking "This is so weird" . LOL. BUT that Disney Sunday thing was SO BOGUS because the INTRO showed us all of Disney's WONDERS in film and animation. BUT all the showed were those ANIMAL films like "Lefty the ding-a-ling Lynx" and "Salty the Way Out Seal". Although well done; we kids wanted to see Mary Poppins or Fantasia !!
But that "Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" FREAKED me OUT !
good ole 60s. I loved the part where he said women drivers were a driving hazard. No fucking way could you get away with saying something like that today in our pussified world.
why can't prices be like this today lol
Wait that demolition just like love bug
Great footage of Love Bug Day 1969. Never seen before, it wasn't even in the bonus section of The Love Bug
I watch this film all the time. I miss my childhood
I remember this movie when I was little. I honestly think this was my first drivers education training movie, before I watched the assigned videos in drivers ed class, in order to graduate.
Aye! Thanks for posting this!
Life is wheels , wheels , wheels ,wheels , girls , wheels , wheels , wheels , wheels , midlife-wheels , wheels, wheels , wheels etc ............ till the END .
Thanks, KEITH! What a treat :)
Love this film and it's much more complete. 1st time I had seen this version.
35:12 I want that tune for my funeral march.
You can thank Ward Kimball for this.
Thank you, Ward Kimball.
2:08 the baby became a car lol
This is great I remember this when I was a kid.
I showed this to my son about 15 years ago. He just said "now I know what's wrong with you."
Superior, classic, and the cream of what Walt Disney was all about back in those days when they were about family entertainment, and nothing else. but in 2019, they've become a consuming organism of corporate consolidation, claiming ownership of 20th Century Fox Film Corporation and its main assets while owning ABC, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, Ltd, and resorting to unoriginal and tiresome remakes and doing CGI animation instead of hand made cel animation that their founder was known for-and the master of the art! but, like all corporate big shots that have pocketed movie studios, Walt Disney's company has become a rodent-infested corporation filled with a variety of assets from their corporate conquests, but suffering from lack of creativity and resorting to cheating! gone forever, are the creative productions like "DAD...CAN I BORROW THE CAR?"- made in 1970 five years after Walt Disney died, but still upholding good production and fine family quality entertainment, now totally absent today, replaced by "THE AVENGERS" and Marvel's other super friends and Pixar Entertainment, all to be prostituted by Disney + in the coming months to follow, really pathetic!
a pre pixar era made Disney live action shorts.
Although I do Love this old Disney film. I still think Disney went down the tubes after walt's death, And if it weren't for pixar disney would have been dead a long time ago.
The last decent cartoon that disney made in my opinion was mickey's christmas carol.
After that it was all about being cool and hip. Like Goof troop, what am embarrassment.
The last true full length disney fit was good my opinion was robin hood.
Even peach dragon sucked.
Dad can I borrow the car without the useless advice LOL
With The Loss Of Walt Disney In 1967, The Company Was At A Crossroads. Experimenting With New Ideas While Also Facing The Situation Of Fewer And Fewer Audiences Arriving To Theaters By The "Family Load", They Went As Far As Utilizing The "Photo-Montage" Effect That Carried Terry Gilliam Through "MONTY PYTHON"S FLYING CIRCUS" 's Golden Age As One Form Of A Potential Audience Draw. Similar, It Was The Situation With T.V. As Shown Here, Utilizing QUITE A Few Concepts Of Visual Communication (Some Of Them QUITE Pioneering!) In This And In A Similar "Sister" Program "IT"S TOUGH TO BE A BIRD!" As They Continue, As Now, Their Tradition Of Creating And Offering New Vision To A Changing World.
But this is one of the last post Walt films. It was definitely different and a bit on the kooky side. But as you said, times were changing.
The start of this at times looks like a Monty Python cartoon done by Terry Gilliam.
See my channel.
The bit with the Volkswagen Beetle...oh my! And after making the Love Bug no less...
Not having watched this RUclips video, all I remember about the Volkswagen is how, unlike the other cars that used their grilles for mouths, it talked by moving its front lid up and down.
Exactly where my life went off the rails!!!!!
What do you mean?
When you got your License?
Or in late 1969/70?
I wasnt born until the late 70s.. but i remember seeing this show on the wonderful world of Disney as a kid in the 80s..
I cherished old Disney.. especially the ones where walt was involved. ☮️🤎👍
@@privateprivate1865 Made me a LIFETIME Car freak!!!
19:39 This is why I like and prefer modern cars over old ones. I've never liked hard starting vehicles.
Wow! I have not seen this in over 45 years! I had thought I imagined it!
I haven't seen this in over 45 years either, but I never would have thought I had imagined it considering how frequently they ran the TV commercial.
Ward Kimball.... he did more non-Disney Disney work in his years as one of the "Nine Old Men" than anyone else ( "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom" had more of a UPA style than Disney).
Who's here after watching The Late Brake Show featuring Gary Hillman's car collection? ruclips.net/video/23CDcgQYq8s/видео.html
Early Disney movie... Dad can I borrow the car... narrated by Kurt Russell .... a classic... prayers my friend
An underrated Disney classic
Thank you for sharing this; this was always one of my fondest memories of my youth. I really loved it as a kid & it's great to see it again after all these years.
It was done, of course, by the late, great Ward Kimball, shortly before he took early retirement. (Even then, he could see the writing on the wall, re: the increasing corporatization of the studio & wanted no part of it; hence, early retirement.) He had quite a reputation for always experimenting, trying new & different ideas, always striving for unique methods of visual communication, and this delightfully quirky, experimental little film perfectly exemplifies his offbeat talents in that regard.
Thanks again for sharing!
p.s. The man in the short bit at the beginning, eating the itty-bitty car with a fork, is none other than Ward Kimball himself!
Great movie 👍
The DMV section starts at 14:15. The scene was shot in Santa Barbara, CA.
Ah yes - I remembered this title from about 50 years ago, so looked it up. I only remember the baby and the steering wheel, as well as the protagonist buying his uncle's old yellow convertible. I saw it as the 3rd of a triple feature with my father, who didn't want to stay and watch it. I think the first in the triple was "The Biscuit Eater", don't remember the 2nd now. It fades, it fades...
Your memory is likely better than you think, as you probably saw the short version, which runs about half this length and is so tightly edited that it totally blows the mind!
Is that Kurt Russell narrating?
Yes, and starring. If he could get in this much "big trouble" over cars as a young man, small wonder he grew up to drive a big rig!
@@ChrisMeadows Kurt Russell narrates this program only, he or his image do not appear in the program.
@@brettkramer Wrong. He's the kid who takes the drivers ed class, gets his license, etc.
Looks just like he does in "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" and the other sixties/seventies Disney movies in which he was a child star.
@@ChrisMeadows Check out this link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0150255/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm Kurt only narrates this 70's classic, he doesn't actually appear in it.
the man who narrated the driving instruction film starting at 11:09 is peter renaday
25:26-25:47 Some of those scenes look just like the ones from the opening credits of Disney's "The Love Bug" (1968)
Every scene in this where a parked car moves and you can see the spot where it was parked, there is a an Exxon Valdez of an oil spot left. If your car leaked that much oil today, you'd get a visit from Greenpeace. If my driveway had the spots shown in the first reel, my H.O.A. would have my car towed.
Some of this is the stuff of nightmares.
I have that exact projector shown at the drivers instruction simulator segment- a 1963 bell and howell filmosound projector. What I'd do to get one of those instructional films!
Thank you for hosting this, not for the politics or any of that crap. Just because I am a fan of Leverage and this is a good chance to see Timothy Hutton's early work.
You are very welcome!

I just wish it was free to see the other film with him by Disney. I'm usually good at spotting celebrities by voice or appearance. But...his character has no name so it's a needle in a haystack to me
+Randolph Jones What was the film's name?
TheMAHfilms
Sultan and the Rock Star, sorry I was out earlier and didn't reply so quickly.
Comedic scenes aside, were those driving simulators seriously a thing back in the day in schools? Pretty cool if so
Yes, though the "simulators" didn't have any actual control over the film being screened. They'd just record the movements you made with the controls in response to what happened on the film, so the instructor could score you as to whether you did the right thing.
WOW! The version I'm used to seeing is only about 20 minutes long. They edited out quite a bit.
I know what you mean! Glad I could upload this.
TheMAHfilms and thank you for doing this. no issue but I would have loved to have seen the old Disney ending credits, but I'm just happy to see this for the first time in too many years.
+dgwaters Ironically, it was first seen in theaters nearly two years before it finally saw an airing on the Disney anthology show in '72, so it was seen first in a 20 minute version.
A classic Disney short. Was that Tim Conway playing Speed Felon of Mighty Misdemeanor Motors?
I was about to say the same thing. It sounds like Tim, and the costume hair piece looks like something he'd have gladly worn. God rest his sweet and hilarious soul👍
The actor was Spencer Quinn, who often appeared in Smothers Brothers comedy shows.
I remember watching this when I was 4 years old.
It seemed like a cool movie when I was 4.
I loved the red racing stripes scene at 31.00
31:00
35:11 I want that music for my funeral lol
How cool
The Last words of Walt Disney was “Kurt Russell” yep thats the odd thing ...
The Best thing of this short the Cars sounds effects are from herbie the love bug movie 1969
Merci Mr Ted Berman & Ward Kimball pour :
Papa, je peux prendre ta voiture ?
C'est pas drôle d’être un oiseau de Mr Ward Kimball est également un petit chef d'oeuvre !
Thanks TheMAHfilms
Does anybody know what movie the clips of the old, rickety looking car is from? Just out of plain curiosity
14:14 You fail!
So is this basically Herbie or something? Old movies are wild I swear. 🤣🤣
Well think i know why guptill89 had this kind of old time behavier, he is a 1960's boy that time traveld to th 80's to 90's and to today.
i wonder if that sultry car at the end had an effect on anyone...
25:26 original love bug scene! :D
Dad! Can I Borrow The Car narrated by Kurt Russell from 1970.
Kurt Russell has done a lot of good things. But I remember him most as Wyatt Earp.
I recorded this off the Disney Channel in the 80s and used to watch it all the time. It's so funny. However this one has some different stuff and it doesn't have the beginning thing where the dude is painting stripes on his car
Hey! We probably aren't the only ones haha. Is the scene at 31:30 what you're talking about?
Yeah but it didn't have the thing telling you how to paint. Before he answered the phone
What is the name of the first song?
the teenager is none other than Kurt Russel!
Sorry, Kurt is narrating, but not the guy you see.
kcald1843 You'd be right, I only researched and I can wager it's Timothy Hutton (Nathan Ford on Leverage)
So how many people spotted the
*FRANK ZAPPA* cameo at 45:14?
Blink and you'll miss it -- literally!
41:40. The car wash scene.
18:38 LOL!
$35 for a 1959 Cadillac?????
Inflation accounts for some of that; $35 in 1970 is closer to $215 worth of buying power in 2014. Still, that's a lower price in dollars than what would be paid for the same car model by a junkyard owner in 2014 for a car that doesn't run and is towed away!
I wonder if Kurt Russell could teach Driving School I'd sign up LOL just for fun
First time solo drive i was going to my High-school in my dads dodge caravan i had a flat i changed it lol
Who's the woman at 44:31? Any1? Any1? Bueller? Bueller?
Dad: no is evil
Y'know? This has the look of a student film. Maybe is.
35:07 The junk car dealer on tv📺 😅😅😅😅😅
1960s Media does not exist: Roblox, youtube, minecraft, facebook, webtoon, pokemon, devaintart, digimon, scratch programming, and other media
other media does not exist in the 1960s
I Believe June foray does the voice of the French Voiceover
38:22-39:51 One quick question: What year models are those talking cars?
I’d say 1950s
First one is a 50s Cadillac, 2nd idk, 3rd is a 53 or 54 Buick, 4th seems to be a 60s car I can't recognize, The last couple I don't know except for the beetle
They range from late '40s to the late '60s. There's no way to tell what year the VW Bug is from!
@@kenlieck7756 actually there are ways to tell what year vw beetle there is
@@kenlieck7756 seems to be a beetle starting from 1968-1970 based on how straight forward the headlights are facing and how the hood seems wider going down
