In 1959, The Shaggy Dog moved Walt Disney Productions in a brand new direction for their films. Prior to this date, Disney made primarily adventure movies. A year earlier, Walt Disney proposed a new series to ABC about a boy with a cryptic ring that turned him into a dog. Of course, this untried idea got the response Disney heard much of his career: it would never work. Well, Disney ignored ABC and decided to release The Shaggy Dog as a feature. As you probably know, The Shaggy Dog was a big hit. Thus, the Disney comedy was born.
Walt Disney discovered a formula that audiences loved and he decided to use it again on The Absent-Minded Professor. If The Shaggy Dog put Disney films on a new course, then The Absent-Minded Professor kept it there, ensuring this type of small town family comedy would be used for many years to come.
The film was nominated for three Academy Awards:
* Best Art Direction (Carroll Clark, Emile Kuri, Hal Gausman).
* Best Cinematography (Edward Colman)
* Best Effects, Special Effects
This film was followed by a sequel Son of Flubber, released in 1963 also featuring MacMurray, Olson, Reid, the three Wynns (Ed Wynn as a Hank Kimball-like county agent and Ned as the student manager of Rutland's football team), Hewitt (as District Attorney) and Kirk.
Annoying film that I love as a child

I remember seeing this movie when I was a child, but even then I remember being annoyed by Maurice Chevalier's constant mugging and smiling. Was his character really mildly amused by everything little thing that happened in the story, or was Maurice just personally bored with the entire film? Its hard to say. But seeing the film many years later as an adult I still find him annoying. Almost a good film.
