Critic Reviews
On the surface, Walt Disney's The Absent Minded Professor is a comedy-fantasy of infectious absurdity, a natural follow-up to the studio's Shaggy Dog. But deeply rooted within the screenplay [from a story by Samuel W. Taylor] is a subtle protest against the detached, impersonal machinery of modern progress.

The Absent-Minded Professor, from 1961, starred the late Fred MacMurray in one of his best-remembered comic roles, as a scientist named Brainerd who discovers a substance he dubs "flubber" (for "flying rubber," since it enables people and objects to fly). [08 Jan 1993]
