Just as good as its predecessor, perhaps even slightly better in moments. All in all I narrowly prefer <em>'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes'</em>, but <em>'Now You See Him, Now You Don't'</em> most certainly still produces solid fun. Everything revolves around invisibility this time, the stuff that Dexter & Co. get up to is suitably entertaining. Kurt Russell reprises the role of Dexter, again positively - no surprise he went on to become such a well known star. Cesar Romero is also good for a second film running, as Arlo. Joe Flynn gets a bigger part as Higgins this time, he's definitely better in this production. For the majority I felt it was superior to the 1969 original, but the third act drags ever so slightly to the point it brings it back down on a similar footing. Still, this is Disney's best live-action sequel up until this point - way more enjoyable than <em>'Son of Flubber'</em> or <em>'Savage Sam'</em>, among others. Can they make it a hat-trick of fine films with the other sequel in <em>'The Strongest Man in the World'</em>? Hope so!
