The Herbie franchise consists of American race car-sport family-comedies, including with five theatrical films, one made-for-television film that was later realesed straight-to-home video, a television series, and other multi-media releases.[1] The overall story, centers around the titular character, an sentient anthropomorphic 1963 Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own and is capable of driving himself. The vehicle is often times a legitimate contender, though the underdog contestant in competitive races, but to a greater degree assists his human owners in bettering their lives.

The first film, notable for being the final live-action film approved by Walt Disney prior to his death, was released in 1969. Based on a short story titled, "Car, Boy, Girl", the feature proved to be a critical and financial success for Walt Disney Productions. Upon its release, the movie was the second highest grossing motion picture for the company; second only to Mary Poppins. Its performance placed it fourth highest on box office returns, and spawned a franchise.[2][3][4] Each subsequent release were successes in their own right, but none received as much universal praise as the original.

The second film as met with mix-to-moderate critical reception, while it notably to-date is the highest film in the series critically scored.[5][6][7] The third film was met with mild-to-mixed at best reception,[8] while the fourth film was poorly received and is often classified as the weakest Herbie film.[9][10] The television series that followed chronologically, was panned by critics resulting in a cancellation following five episodes, with reviews calling it "domesticated", "mild", and "boring".[11] The fifth film which sought to reveal the titular hero's origin, was met with negative-to-mixed reviews, citing its inferiority to the original.[12] The sixth film was met with mixed-to-good reception, and garnered the highest box office returns out of all of the installments. Though the film was criticized for various aspects including the plot, it was seen as a return to form for the franchise.[13][14]

## Origin[edit]

In 1961 a short story titled, "Car, Boy, Girl" was written by Gordon Buford. In an interview with a U.S. publication for VW owners title Small World Magazine, Buford stated that the idea for his story came from growing up on a Colorado farm, where he witnessed how his parents treated their vehicles with a similar manner as they did their horses. Though there are no publications currently in circulation, it is believed that the short was presented directly to Walt Disney and/or that The Walt Disney Company purchased the rights of distribution to the story shortly thereafter.[3]

Later, the driving school is closed down after Herbie interferes with a motor vehicle inspection. Jim, now divorced from Carole, begins a relationship with a similarly divorced woman named Susan MacLane.

When the pair become engaged, Randy attempts to sabotage the relationship. Jim's ex-girlfriend shows up to his bachelor party, while Randy kidnaps Herbie and replaces him with a look-alike vehicle. After his plans to ruin the wedding are stopped, with the assistance of Herbie, Jim and Susan are married. Together, they sell her vehicle and purchase a family-sized station wagon.

Four seasons of the show traveled, as separate editions. After the financial success of a trial run in Long Beach in 1969, the show evolved and thrived with the addition of producer/director Michel "Mr. G" Grilikhes. The first edition's run at Madison Square Garden made a record in advanced ticket sales with $400,000.00 total; while a run in Salt Lake City booked a total of 77,255 people in nine days (equivalent of 38% of the city's population).

* "Three's a Family" (1972-'73): Goofy once again meets Herbie. The plot featured the latter falling in love with a pink VW, and the pair have their own little Bug of their own.
* "The Used Car Lot" (1973-'74). During the comedic skit, Goofy visits a used car lot and can't decide if he prefers a Ford Model T or Herbie.[63]
* Walt Disney's World on Ice: In 1979, Mattel approached The Walt Disney Company to collaborate on an ice show centered around the latter's properties. The precursor to what would later be known as Disney on Ice, the traveling show was developed by Irvin & Kenneth Feld Productions. The first series of shows debuted in 1981, while Herbie featured throughout the performances.[64][65] The show eventually evolved into Disney on Ice, with Herbie featuring in various shows.[66]
* Herbie and Friends Tour: In joint=commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the franchise and Volkswagen Group of America, Walt Disney Pictures in collaboration with VW America sponsored a roadtrip tour, featuring Herbie and various classic VWs. The trek included 25 VW dealership stops, impromptu mini-car shows, as well as promotional stays for the Herbie Fully Loaded film.
