Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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.

I think I rented this once, but I remember first seeing it on The Wonderful World of Disney in the 70s. At the time, I wasn't driving age, but I still got alot of the humor. Even if it is dated clothes wise, it is still a very funny episode that should be made more available to the public, i.e. Disney Channel!

A Walt Disney Short Subject.A young man's love affair with cars is examined from infancy to marriage.Ward Kimball, Walt Disney's master animator & eccentric genius, brings his own brand of wacky humor as producer and director to DAD...CAN I BORROW THE CAR? This mostly live action short is full of animated bits, crazy montages, offbeat humor & rock ‘n' roll music and contains a wonderfully weird spoof of a TV used car commercial. Everything from the DMV to drive-thru car washes are grist for the mill. The message here is not auto safety or good sense in car purchasing. The aim is simply entertainment and the acknowledgment of the automobile's domination of our culture.Kurt Russell narrates; listen for Jesse White as the voice of his father. And that's the bottom half of Ward Kimball's face early in the film, munching on a tiny toy car.

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?"
