Late in his life, MacMurray would become the first to be honored as a “Disney Legend.” But in 1959, he was simply the father of a teen-boy-turned-sheepdog (it could happen to anyone, really)In The Shaggy Dog, MacMurray uttered a classic line when he referred to the horror fave from two years prior, I Was a Teenage Werewolf: "Don’t be ridiculous — my son isn’t any werewolf! He’s just a big, baggy, stupid-looking, shaggy dog!"
Two years later, MacMurray was back at Disney, starring in The Absent-Minded Professor. It was our first taste of Flubber, and we loved it.
In 1963, Disney made the first-ever sequel to one of their films, Son of Flubber, with MacMurray once again in the starring role.
Thanks to his roles in some of our all-time favorites, Fred MacMurray will always be a true Disney Legend. Written by Linnea Crowther
