rofessor Brainard is a brilliant inventor, who toils
in his laboratory with his flying robot assistant, Weebo. However,
he's also absent-minded enough to forget about his own wedding --
twice! And when he makes a remarkable accidental discovery, a goo
that can make objects fly, on the day of his re-scheduled wedding,
he's so excited that he forgets it again, alienating his would-be
wife. Worse still, his smooth-talking nemesis Wilson Croft, who has
stolen most of Brainard's inventions in the past, is trying to woo
away Brainard's fiancee, Sara Jane, as well. Can the professor's
amazing new invention, Flubber (short for "flying rubber") save his
school from bankruptcy and win back Sara's affections? Flubber must
take matters into its own, er, hands, to save the day. |

"Flubber" is based on Disney's 1961 release "The Absent Minded
Professor." This time around, though, the mysterious goo called
Flubber has taken on a personality of its own. Digital special
effects technology developed since the release of the first film
made it possible for Flubber to share the spotlight as a
"character" in its own right. While "flying rubber" in the original
merely allowed objects to bounce and fly, the new Flubber can form
conga lines, menace bad guys and dance the mambo. |

Another special effects achievement in
"Flubber" is Weebo, the professor's hovering, feminine robot
assistant. Weebo uses clips from classic films and Disney cartoons
to express her emotions -- everything from the Cheshire Cat's grin
from "Alice in Wonderland" to bits of "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" can be seen flitting across the robot's video display
screen. |
