Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is an apolitical family comedy centered on an eccentric professor's scientific invention, focusing on individual ingenuity to solve financial problems and personal relationship challenges, rather than engaging with specific political ideologies.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast, reflecting traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on the protagonist's invention and personal life, framing traditional identities neutrally or positively without incorporating explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The film "Flubber" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily focuses on a heterosexual romance and a professor's scientific inventions, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences.
The film "Flubber" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding its impact on transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1997 film "Flubber" is a remake of "The Absent-Minded Professor" (1961). Key characters like Professor Brainard and his love interest retain their original genders from the source material. New characters introduced in the 1997 version, such as Weebo, do not constitute a gender swap as they lack prior canonical gender.
Flubber (1997) is a remake of The Absent-Minded Professor (1961). All major characters, including Professor Philip Brainard and Sara Jean Reynolds, were portrayed by actors of the same race as their predecessors, with no changes to established racial identities.
