Description:
Herbie, the VW with heart, adds some international flair to his lovable personality! Upon enterting a Paris-to-Monte Carlo road race, Herbie falls hood over wheels in love when he encounters a sleek, sporty, light blue Lancia. Also vying for Herbie's attention is a gang of jewel thieves, who've ingeniously hidden a stolen gem in Herbie's gas tank! Thus begins a madcap chase across the French countryside that only The Love Bug could create!

Amazon.com:
Dean Jones, star of The Love Bug, came back to the fold for this third lap around the block, which finds him racing in Monte Carlo while thieves plant a stolen diamond in Herbie's gas tank. The plot is forced and conventional, but the cast is the thing: the excitable Don Knotts (The Apple Dumpling Gang) and the tormentable Roy Kinnear (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) are good men to have in a potboiler such as this. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Jim the serious romantic and Wheely the funny comedian, a recipe for laughter and entertainment.
Herbie #53, a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle deluxe ragtop sedan painted with L87 pearl white, with wide racing tires, falls in love with a 1977, Lancia Monte Carlo #7 name Giselle.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cute, Entertaining Movie; Probably The Best Herbie Movie Yet!
Now, I'm not one for oldie's flicks at all anymore, but I think that Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo is probably the only Herbie movie that I would watch if someone put it in the tape player. It's fun and entertaining, and the international racing scene was a great and hilarious choice for Herbie to have his latest escapade. Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo is also a well-cast movie, with the extremely funny pairing of Dean Jones and Don Knotts kicking the laughs up quite a few notches. It manages to provide ... Read More

Twelve years after leaving the racing scene, Jim Douglas and his living Volkswagen, Herbie, are set to make their comeback! They're entering the Trans-France Race from Paris to Monte Carlo, and they're not going to let anything stop them from regaining their superstar status! That's the intention anyway. But when fate throws a monkey wrench into their golden plan in the form of a lovely European racecar, it's all Jim and mechanic Wheely can do to keep Herbie's eyes on the prize! Of course, this is a ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cute Movie But What's The Correct Original Aspect Ratio?
I have fond memories of Watching the Disney movie Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo with my friends. It is a cute movie and I'm pleased that it's on DVD but I see that the DVD is fullscreen and I'm wondering if that's te correct aspect ratio or if it's an edited pan and scan of a widescreen movie?
