The Absent-Minded Professor (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
A Milestone In Film Making
When this film was made in 1961, a material almost identical to Flubber was being developed by NASA for the Gemini Space Program. To avoid a threat to our national security, the release of "The Absent-Minded Professor" was delayed for six months until Walt Disney agreed to delete two scenes showing Fred MacMurray discussing its applications and uses. The missing scenes have been restored in magnificent color, and the movie seems to have a better flow than the theatrical version.
An excellent version of a classic
The original Absent-Minded Professor is the best, Fred MacMurray is perfect as the inventor of "Flubber". I am writing this review in defence of this the colorized version of a classic, black & white movie. The colors are rich, vibrant and above all natural looking - forget the colorization of the early 80s, this is digital colorization and if you didn't already know the film was originally black & white you wouldn't be able to tell!
The only mistake Disney made was releasing this before the original black & white version, however with dvd technology they should have brought out both versions on a double sided dvd like "A Christmas Carol" was. However, the black & white movie is now available in a widescreen dvd version.
This is a wonderful, color version of a great family movie.
