Dad... Can I Borrow the Car? Trailers

A live-action short, using many avant-garde film techniques, that looks at American car culture in the late 1960s. The main section deals with the many trials and obstacles a teenager must face on the path to being able to drive. Surviving the driver's education class is only the first step, as the teenager must then pass his driving test, and then finally get permission to borrow the family car.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I have to agree totally with a previous commenter and if the earlier individual hated it so much, there's a thing called an off button. Personally, I have been looking for this episode for many years and have yet to find it (like I did for Lt Robin Crusoe USN which I finally found). There is nothing in this movie/episode that is objectionable, it's full of the sporadic, spontaneous Disney magic that makes these Wonderful World of Disney episodes so, well, wonderful. The mixture of animated scenes mixed in with live acting is a Disney staple and follows the story line exceptionally. I watched this when it first came out in the early 70's and I haven't forgotten it almost forty years later. Of course, it may have been one of those moments that turned me into such a gear-head, but hey, Hot Rods rule. Unless someone has removed your funny bone, give this one a chance. I've seen it several times through the years and it never loses it's appeal.

I think its i nice piece of history. All kids can relate to it in one way or another. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was a kid on Sunday night. I wish I could find those old shorts Disney made back then.No one person should be the only critic of this film short, the person who calls himself Xfile who rated this film 1 out of 10, sounds like an elitist who knows nothing about history and the effects these little films have on people. If there is any redeeming quality this film has its all the old cars it shows off plus all the cool paint and body work that was popular back in the 50's-60's.

This is a great and funny classic film by Disney studios. I recall seeing it as a kid, and it's even funnier to watch now....granted you're fortunate enough to see it whenever it's aired. Not sure why the other viewer even bothered to watch the whole thing if he hated it that much. Five minutes into the film you get the feel of what it's going to be like, so why hang around and be miserable for the whole hour if you don't like it to begin with, Einstein? Sheesh....Kurt Russell narrates. Reflects the era and fun times of the very early 70s. Shame it's not available on VHS or DVD. Should be.

This is a great movie to prep young students for the real world of Driver's Ed and getting your first car. Although the hairstyles and car styles have changed slightly since 1970, the basic ideas remain the same. From the fast-talking used-car salesman to the horrific DMV tester, no detail is left out. Rent it, show it to your teenager, and see if they still ask, "Dad, Can I Borrow the Car?"
