Proving that sequels rarely measure up, Son of Flubber reunites cast, director (Robert Stevenson), studio (Disney), and concept (an eccentric inventor, played by Fred MacMurray, makes odd products with hilarious side effects), and still isn't as good as its predecessor, The Absent Minded Professor. MacMurray and company turn their attention to some new inventions, including flubber gas and dry rain, and while there's plenty of comedy to be had, the film is finally spotty and wears out its welcome. On the plus side, Paul Lynde is a funny addition to this follow-up. --Tom Keogh
Description
Medfield's lovable but hopelessly absent-minded professor -- Ned Brainard (Fred MacMurray) -- bounces back in this classic Disney film with hilarious new mishaps when he experiments with the amazing by-products of his startling anti-gravity substance, "flubber." Windows shatter, football players fly, and thunderstorms materialize indoors as Professor Brainard fights to keep Medfield College from falling into the hands of ruthless land developer Alonzo Hawk (Keenan Wynn).

 Needs to be in WIDESCREEN!!!!! June 6, 2008

A few scenes have words cut-off due
to blowing the picture up and cutting
the sides of the picture off. One key-
scene of the football score has the
score OFF-screen!
 Great for kids and adults too. March 2, 2008
These old Disney live-action movies are great for family movie night. They're not as kid-centric (or sappy) as some of the newer movies out there (like Dora the Explorer movies or some of the Disney animated things). Plus, there's enough slapstick in them to keep the kids amused. "Son of Flubber" is just as good as "The Absent-Minded Professor" and they're both full of fun.

This was a very timely and accurate delivery. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the handling I got on this purchase.

Fred MacMurray portrays the role of Professor Ned Brainerd, the Absent Minded Professor, again.
Brainerd refines his flubber into flubber gas. As in the Absent Minded Professor which had a flubbered Basketball game, this time there is a sport game of football.
Alonzo P. Hawk (Keenan Wynn), Disney's greatest live action villian, is back with his snake oil evilness aplome. Tommy Kirk reprised his role as Biff Hawk, the professor's friend and Hawk's son. Nancy Olson also returns as Brainerd's supportive wife Betsy.
Paul Lynde makes an appearance as the sportcaster, showcasing an early Uncle Arthur from Bewitched laugh in his scenes. Ed Wynn, Keenan's father, cameos in this film as a state officer
If you are fan of Classic Disney work, this is one of the best Disney comedy. If you are looking for more than its one joke premious than it has, dont watch this. I like this simple comedy, so it is worth my time-I hope it will be yours too
