My Favorite Dean Jones Movies

My favorite of the Herbie movies. It's a classic and full of fun. It began the saga and stars veteran Disney actor Dean Jones. Jones performs at top of his game and his dry wit and sarcastic humor are in good shape. David Tomlinson makes a great villian and is intstantly recognized by true disney fans (notably for Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks). Buddy Hackett is hilarious as the first believer in Herbie as well as the namer - he adds an extra element of comedic relief in this comedy. Beyond the bounds of the term Classic this is a must see of the Disney films. Excellent in acting and technical areas it is definitely worth the watch.

Fun and a great family film. Dean Jones returns as Jim Douglas and Don Knotts plays his hilarious mechanic. While it lacks the originality and cleverness of the first in the series this new director to the Herbie series does put the focus on Herbie and develops the little car's characteristics more.

Clever and hilarious. Dean Jones gives a wonderful performance as the FBI agent and Hayley Mills is spectacular. One of the best live action Disney films.

Fun and funny. An enjoyable watch. This first one is a classic.

Dean Jones performs as usual and Maurice Chevalier gives a humorous and wonderful performance as the local priest. Funny and fun this is a good family film with something for everyone. I don't feel it is Dean Jones best but it still shows his talent nicely.
