Herbie: Fully Loaded.


Herbie: Fully Loaded * Directed by Angola Robinson * Starring Lindsay Lohan * Walt Disney Home Video

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Angola Robinson is the first African-American out lesbian to be entrusted with a venerable Disney franchise. And coming off the dizzy pop delirium delirium
