Herbie was violated


Why didn't they call him by name in this film? Why did Disney abandon Herbie? Shame on everyone, including Dean Jones.

Agreed. Horrible film. So much so, I bought the boxset which had the 4 original films. I took Bananas out and replaced it with Fully Loaded. To me Bananas doesn't exist in the Herbie world.

I am so happy I am not the only person put off by them not using his name.

It's no different than the Tanner family calling Gordon Shumway "ALF" when he already had a name.

The movie itself is called "Herbie Goes Bananas," so who cares? Besides, Jim Douglas wouldn't likely have informed his nephew, Pete, that the Volkswagen had a name. The Mexican kid wouldn't know Herbie's name and didn't understand the car when it told him, so he dubbed the vehicle "Ocho" (5 + 3 = ocho, eight).
