Herbie the Love Bug

Herbie the Love Bug is the biggest automobile star of live-action Disney movies. A sentient 1963 Volkswagen Beetle who becomes a racing car in 1968's The Love Bug, Herbie (whose personality usually fell between a dog and a mischievous teenager) received name billing in the follow-ups. These include Herbie Rides Again (1974), Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977), and Herbie Goes Bananas (1980), as well as a short-lived 1982 TV series, 1997 TV remake, and 2005's Herbie: Fully Loaded.
