Dean Jones, Michele Lee and Buddy Hackett co-star with Herbie, the superstar of cars, in this all time Disney favourite. He's a one-of-a-kind VW with a mind of his own and a talent for getting his owner into hilariously harrowing situations. Exciting high-speed action, unbelieveable stunts and a villain you'll love to hate all combine to make this roller-coaster ride of a movie, a winner.
