Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo teams Jim Douglas (Dean Jones) and Wheely Applegate (Don Knotts) for Herbie’s driver and mechanic. Don Knotts seems an odd casting choice for this movie because one wonders what happened to the previous mechanic Tennessee Steinmetz (Buddy Hackett), but there is the explanation that ‘Wheely’ has been with Herbie for a long time, and the viewer goes with that limited explanation and enjoys the film despite the loss of Buddy Hackett. It seems that the writers have almost run out of ideas for this story but seem to pull one more suitable film. Herbie actually makes it through part four, Herbie Goes Bananas, then into a combination of the first and the fourth Herbie movies for a 1997 television release for The Wonderful World of Disney Season 1 Episode 11. This television series features famous movies and behind the scenes content as well as new films. Then, Lindsey Lohan and Justin Long make a 2005 6th film in the Herbie movie series, Herbie: Fully Loaded. These stories have their own charm and make cute watches to share as a family.
