Herbie, the lovable Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own, raced through decades of Disney comedies. A watch order guide keeps the sentient car's adventures in sequence.

Herbie is a plucky, sentient Volkswagen Beetle β€” numbered 53 β€” with a personality all its own and a knack for winning races. Debuting in Disney's 'The Love Bug', the charming car starred in a string of family comedies across the 1960s, '70s, and beyond, becoming a pop-culture icon.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows Herbie across the decades from his debut to his modern comeback.

  1. The Love Bug (1968)
  2. Herbie Rides Again (1974)
  3. Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977)
  4. Herbie Goes Bananas (1980)
  5. Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)

Story chronology follows the same order, as each film continues Herbie's ongoing journey with new owners and races.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The films unfold in a rough timeline, with Herbie changing hands over the years and eventually landing with a new generation in 'Fully Loaded'. Watching in release order lets you enjoy the car's enduring legacy as it passes to fresh drivers.

  1. The Love Bug (1968)
  2. Herbie Rides Again (1974)
  3. Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977)
  4. Herbie Goes Bananas (1980)
  5. Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with 'The Love Bug', the original that introduces Herbie's magic, then follow the sequels in release order. Newer viewers can also jump straight to 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' for a modern, standalone adventure, but the classics are where the charm began.
