Flubber is a 1997 remake of the 1961 Disney film, The Absent-Minded Professor. It was directed by Les Mayfield.
Professor Phillip Brainard is a man so lost in thought that he appears, at times, not to pay attention. He's even forgotten two dates to marry his sweetheart Sara.
But he's got a lot on his mind. He's working with his high voltage, overly amorous, flying robot assistant Weebo on an idea for a substance that's not only a revolutionary new source of energy, but may well be the salvation of his financially troubled Medfield College where his beloved Sara is the president.
But it all comes together late on the afternoon of his third attempt at a wedding when the professor creates miraculous goo - that when applied to any object: cars, bowling balls-even people - enables them to fly through the air at remarkable speeds.
The stuff defies gravity and looks like rubber. What is it? Flubber!
Tagline: The stuff dreams are made of.
