Product Description:
IT SLIPS, IT SLIDES, GIGGLES, GLIDES, FLIPS AND FLIES. ROBIN WILLIAMS STARS IN DISNEY'S LATEST LIVE-ACTION FEATURE IN THE FANTASTIC ADVENTURE OF A WACKY SCIENTIST WHO HAS TO KEEP HIS CHAOTIC INVENTION FLUBBER FROM GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
Amazon.com:
Disney couldn't resist the temptation to remake 1961's popular comedy The Absent Minded Professor, so they cast Robin Williams as Professor Philip Brainard (a role vaguely related to the character originated by Fred MacMurray), and the result is a comedy that, frankly, doesn't fully deserve its modest success. It's admittedly clever to a point, and certainly the digitally "flubberized" special effects provide the kind of movie magic that's entertaining for kids and parents alike. The professor can't even remember his own wedding day (much to the chagrin of his fiancée, played by Marcia Gay Harden), and now his academic rival (Christopher McDonald) is trying to steal his latest and purely accidental invention--flying rubber, or ... flubber. The green goo magnifies energy and can be used as an amazing source of power, but in the hands of screenwriter John Hughes it becomes just another excuse to recycle a lot of Home Alone-style slapstick humor involving a pair of bumbling would-be flubber thieves. There's also a floating robot named Weebo and some catchy music by Danny Elfman to accompany dancing globs of flubber, but the story's too thin to add up to anything special. Lightweight fun, but, given the title, it lacks a certain bounce. Of course, that didn't stop Disney's marketing wizards from turning it into a home-video hit. --Jeff Shannon

This was a fun remake of "The Absent-Minded Professor," with special-effects the main show here. We see and hear the following impossible things: inanimate objects become human (with feelings, no less!) and a flying computer called "Weebo." Obviously, this is just a far-off story designs only for laughs (I know one person who actually took some of this stuff seriously.)
Despite a bowling bowl repeatedly hitting someone in the head, it's a fairly harmless movie with no language problems, ... Read More

Robin Williams is a great comic talent.
The Absent Minded ProfessorThe Absent-Minded Professor (Widescreen Edition) was a great movie in its day and still is a good movie today in the year 21st century.
Disney studios should not try to remake great old movies with great current talents in order to make more money. This is not something that Walt would have wanted. Instead Disney studios should take the money they use to remake old hits and make great new movies.

Fun and excitement throughout the movie.
This will be part of a Christmas give along with the original Disney classics starring Fred McMurray.

I'm not much for remakes, but really can you go wrong with Robin Williams? There's a scene in here that is perfect for the potty humor lover in every family! Funny family flick!

Flubber has been veiwed so many times I can't remember. It is a wonderful movie that when my older childern grew out of it was quickly passed on the those who were younger and so on and so forth. The VHS version was replaced by the dvd version. Never fear tho the VHS was sent to our friends for their children. Robin Williams is fabulous in this movie and Flubber is full of chuckles, giggles and lots of excitement.
