All You Need Is Love

As a kid I would watch hundreds of Disney and Kids films, recorded and labeled by my father.  One such movie was “Herbie The Love Bug”.  A ridiculous story about a car with a heart.  The film introduced me to Buddy Hackett the tiny comedian with the raspy voice and squiffy eye.  The film also produced the iconic colours and numbering of the VW Bettle now still popular almost  50 years later. Another introduction although brief was the inclusion of Hippies in the movie.  Disney continue to drop casual references to subculture, drugs and even sex in many of there productions to this very day, a brief Youtube search will yield many examples.  Watching the clips of the movie below made me laugh out loud, mainly for the memories of this classic that is terribly kitch, in some parts terrible, but still, much better than the updated version with Linsey Lohan in 2005.
