About Flubber
Flubber follows Medfield College's flying-rubber inventor through three versions. The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) ends at the basketball finale, Son of Flubber (1963) continues the military plot, and Flubber (1997) remakes the original with Robin Williams.
Release order is the intended path. The remake assumes the original's setup without continuing it.
Good to know
The 1988 TV remake is a lesser retelling and is optional. Start with 1961 or 1997.
