| The Love Bug : 4 of 5 | |

 Two-disc special editions are always great, so I was happy to see this treatment for The Love Bug! While I'm sure I must have seen this movie in the past, I actually remember Herbie Goes Bananas much more, so watching the original was like something totally new. I didn't remember that Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins played the villain, and I certainly had no idea that sad little Herbie attempts suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge! The movie is funny and has some great over-the-top scenes, along with some nice special effects and beautiful matte paintings to get across than San Francisco feel. The bonus material is excellent, with a great documentary including lots of behind the scenes stuff (such as how they rigged Herbie so a stunt driver could control him from the back seat), plus a segment on Love Bug Day at Disneyland, where they held a contest for decorated VW bugs, and actually drove them down Main Street in a parade! This is a nice DVD set - it's always fun to rediscover a Disney classic.
