Son of Flubber is a 1963 American science fiction comedy film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney Productions. The sequel to The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), Fred MacMurray reprises his role from the first film as Ned Brainard, a scientist who has perfected a high-bouncing substance, Flubber ("flying rubber") that can levitate an automobile and cause athletes to bounce into the sky. In addition to MacMurray, Nancy Olson, Keenan Wynn, Ed Wynn, Elliott Reid and Tommy Kirk also co-star, reprising their roles from The Absent-Minded Professor. The film was shot in black and white, but a colorized version was released on VHS in 1997.
