The original, 1961 version of The Absent-Minded Professor is bound to be a hundred times funnier than the bland remake, Flubber. Fred MacMurray is charming as the eccentric college professor who discovers a gooey substance with sustainable energy. Everything about this movie clicks in a way Flubber didn’t, particularly the effort by director Robert Stevenson (a Disney favorite who made Mary Poppins, That Darn Cat, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and many other hits for the studio) to create comic tension between MacMurray’s gentlemanly performance and the slapstick set pieces. The famous basketball scene (in which some of the players don’t realize they have flubber on the soles of their shoes) is perfectly choreographed and exceptionally funny for kids. –Tom Keogh
