1960s Disney ends with a good, just not exceptional, film. It has been a long, up and down decade from the studio, with most falling under that category or lower.
'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' entertains to a satisfactory degree, with Kurt Russell leading brightly as Dexter. The rest of the cast aren't all that remarkable, even if there are a load of faces I recognise from other things. If I had to choose the most noteworthy, they would be Cesar Romero (Arno) & William Schallert (Quigley).
The plot is enjoyable, it's just as bonkers as you'd expect given it's in a similar vein to films like 1961's 'The Absent-Minded Professor'. I'd say it's better executed than that Flubber premise. There's also a cool chase sequence in this, too.
I'm curious to see where the sequels head.
