Disney’s The Love Bug celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking the legacy of one of the studio’s most beloved live-action films.
Released as a preview in December 1968 before its wide release in 1969, the film stars Michele Lee, Dean Jones, Buddy Hackett, and David Tomlinson—alongside the unforgettable Herbie, the pearl-colored 1963 Volkswagen Beetle with a personality all its own.
The Love Bug 50th anniversary highlights a film that was the last live-action project approved by Walt Disney himself. It became a top-grossing hit upon release and continues to charm audiences of all ages.
More than five decades later, The Love Bug remains a timeless Disney classic, beloved by both longtime fans and new generations discovering Herbie for the first time.
