A Volkswagen car revolts against the cruelty of its stuffy, rich owner (David Tomlinson) and decides to race instead for a kinder racing-driver (Dean Jones).

Reviewed by Chris Tookey


A classic family movie from 1969, about a lovable Volkswagen Beetle. The charming plot is lightweight, but great fun. So successful was this film that it spawned three sequels: Herbie Rides Again (1974), Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977) and Herbie Goes Bananas (1980). This one’s the best of the bunch.
