Can anyone verify the Radio Disney contest to win a Herbie? I wasn't able to find anything with a little Googling. TomTheHand 12:14, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
Gah! Verified it just a few minutes after I posted this! TomTheHand 12:19, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
The "Story of Herbie" section is pretty poorly written. In parts, the language is clumsy and weird. Near the end, a pair of characters from Herbie Goes Bananas are described are "con artistes." I left that because I think it's funny to imagine snooty con artists insisting to their criminal friends, "I'm no mere artist, I'm an artiste!" Thirtysilver ( talk) 19:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Ryan
It is just a suggestion maybe include Herbie's diffrent emotions and how he displays them, such as blinking his headlights. The emotions I have noticed are happy, sad, anger, and mischievous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.105.47 ( talk) 05:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
84.191.117.129 added a couple paragraphs about "A similar series of five movies starring a Volkswagen beetle" made in Germany. Does anyone have more information about this series? I'm quite interested in seeing it. Hotwheels53 16:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Per WP:TRIV I have gotten rid of the Trivia section of this article and merged the facts from there into more relevant parts of the article, also creating two new lists ("Popular Culture" and "Toys and Collectibles"). If you have something to add to the article, please do not create a new Trivia section. Find a place in the article where it will fit. If you don't know where to put it, post here and someone can probably find a way to include it. HotWheels (53) Talk 16:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Blacklist removed a sentence that said Herbie was built by a "Dr. Gustav von Stumpfel" in 1963. The edit summary says: doubt it;. source required if put back in. That was stated in the 1997 remake of The Love Bug. However, that contradicts the original film and I don't think the remake should be considered (fully) canon. Any thoughts?

That's about what I was thinking. I agree, if somebody really wants that to be in the article, I think it should go under Popular Culture or maybe a new section for the 1997 film, but since we've agreed that it isn't canon I think it would be better to leave it out. If you haven't seen it, you haven't missed much. It's interesting to me as a Herbie fan, but overall the movie is kinda bleh. ;) HotWheels (53) Talk 14:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

This article, as-is, treats the fictional character as though it is a real person. Though there are other such articles, I have worked for months on a franchise article draft. Seeing as there are various media releases featuring the character, a franchise article encompasses all aspects of the franchise. The Herbie article, currently primarily features the character details with all production details listed as an afterthought/side-discussion. Seeing as the franchise is more detailed and expansive than just the character, I suggest moving this article to "Herbie (Disney character)". Furthermore, I would question its notability once a franchise article (which covers a lot more detail) is approved.-- DisneyMetalhead ( talk) 22:19, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

I noticed a term used in the "Herbie Rides Again" section: "Cut and Shut" engine lid.
Outside of this page, I've never come across this term before, and I'm wondering if it refers to the car known as "Funky Decklid Herbie." I thought I should clarify before editing the source. Does anyone have ideas?
I forgot where I heard this, but I heard on YouTube that in 2005 if memory serves, Herbie was going to have a cartoon series (it looked like a preschool show, like something Playhouse Disney would air), but it wasn't developed I don't think. Only one image exists, but I don't want to add it without providing a proper source for my claim, or with any other incorrect information. Triviatronic9000 ( talk) 02:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
