Today younger children are enjoying characters that they see in Disney films and TV shows, such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the Disney Princesses, Lightning McQueen from Cars, Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean, and even Hannah Montana. Today Disney characters from today and the past entertain young kids.
There is one classic Disney character I grew up watching and most kids today probably know him from recent years. His name is Herbie
from the series of classic Love Bug films released by Disney, such as The Love Bug in 1969, Herbie Rides Again in 1974, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo in 1977, Herbie Goes Bananas in 1980, and Herbie: Fully Loaded in 2005. The best way to describe him is that he is a 1963 VW Bug (pearl-white ragtop sunroof model) with number '53' racing gumballs and red, white, and blue racing stripes. The films portray him as a loveable matchmaking racecar with a heart, which is why he's able to win competitive races. He is popular among fans who watched the films and among VW Bug owners.
As a Disney character, kids and fans of Disney films should recognize this legendary character. This should allow kids to see that previous generations of Disney fans loved Herbie's personality and the joy he brings to anyone. Note: If you ever have a chance to watch the films, you'll be able to notice some minor changes to Herbie's appearance.

I think it is funny how similar to Herbie they made Bumble bee from Transformers the movie. If I remember correctly, Bumble Bee was also a VW bug originally but due to corporate sponsors he changed to a mustang... Lame.
I too used to indulge in Love Bug films. They were great at physical comedy.
I always thought you were a Mickey fan just like me and everyone else in the planet. Anyways, everyone has their favorite, I'm just surprised you pick Herbie.
Here is my favorite Character and his bio, check it out!
