The Love Bug is one of the iconic 1960's family favorite Disney films. There is a lot to like about this films and we spend more than an hour breaking down what makes this film so special, including:
Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi wrote the scrteenplay. Theyu had written previos screenplays for Disney (among other roles within the company). They are probably best known for their Academy Award nominated screenplay for Mary Poppins.
Director Robert Stevenson was another name associated with Disney films throughout the 1950's, 60's and 70's. He also directed Mary Poppins.
Walt Disney was another key figure in the films production. The Love Bug was the last film personally approved by Walt. The idea stemmed from the Gordon Buford novel Car, Boy, Girl and Walt presented the idea after a meeting with Dean Jones who pitched a movie based on the first sports car brought to America.
