The Absent-Minded Professor

The Absent-Minded Professor is a 1961 comedy distributed by The Walt Disney Company. It tells the story of a college professor who invents a substance that gains energy when it strikes a hard surface. The film spawned Disney's first sequel in 1963, Son of Flubber, and was remade in 1988 for a pair of The Magical World of Disney TV specials with Harry Anderson, and again in 1997 with Robin Williams.
