Son of Flubber Blu-ray Review

sonoflubbertop-1024x576.jpg


For those who didn’t get enough of the magical flubber and its eccentric inventor in Walt Disney’s hilarious The Absent-Minded Professor, the man and his inventions return in Son of Flubber, a typically weaker if nevertheless entertaining sequel to the earlier comedy.

Great review! I agree with both your assessment of the film itself and the disc. I'm glad to have it (was a blind buy) but didn't seem like an essential movie either. It was fun but not as good as the original.

Well, gosh. Another film from my misspent youth. If only I had the room to put all these titles.

Objectively, I think of Absent Minded as the better film, but I saw this one first, so it has a warm spot in my heart. Also, I saw it on a double feature with 20000 Leagues with my Dad and Uncle for a rare "Boys Night Out" so it carries that great memory with it as well. I am glad it received a good blu and I can't wait to watch it.

Coincidentally I saw this few weeks back for the first time. The original is a classic and this one is very inferior to the original movie.

I love that Disney is releasing all of these in 1.66:1 ratio. I feel like we are getting the full frame on most of these. This looks very good and I was impressed with how good the film actually is. I thoroughly enjoyed it almost as much as the original. But once again, Disney sadly releases all of these bare-bones with no bonus content.
