Synopsis

Bumbling professor Ned Brainard is so forgetful even his own wedding keeps slipping his mind! He is, however, a dedicated inventor, and when he accidentally discovers how to create "flying rubber" the possibilities for its uses are endless! There's still much to learn about how this bouncy new discovery works though - and the potential to get into all manner of scrapes as a result. The film that inspired '90s remake Flubber, this original version has a sweetness and imagination that are almost irresistible.

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
