The Absent-Minded Professor
“The most amazing discovery since laughter!”
ComedyFamilyScience Fiction
Bumbling professor Ned Brainard accidentally invents flying rubber, or "Flubber", an incredible material that gains energy every time it strikes a hard surface. It allows for the invention of shoes that can allow jumps of amazing heights and enables a modified Model-T to fly. Unfortunately, no one is interested in the material except for Alonzo Hawk, a corrupt businessman who wants to steal the material for himself.
VIBE
A delightful romp filled with inventive spirit and pure, unadulterated fun. It captures a sense of wonder and innocent mischief, perfect for a cozy afternoon escape into a world of charmingly chaotic genius.
