Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Jared MTaking math onto a whole simple level. I thought I had some problems with math, but this cartoon makes the effort of learning look easy.
User Review - 10/10 by Linda SWhat a great way to learn about the relationship between math, music and even physics. Fascinating! Good for ages 3 to 103.
User Review - 8/10 by Steve RGreat little movie for 3rd-5th graders about math and how it relates to everyday life. I show it to my Cub Scouts when we're working on the Mathmatics belt loop and pin.
User Review - 8/10 by Charles SDoes give a good perspective on mathematics, while managing to be entertaining.
User Review - 8/10 by Nikolaj ZThis Disney movie tells a lot of stories about mathmatics and describe it as a magical adventure. This movie is both fun and educating. Donald is the main character in this movie which makes it even better because he's my favorite disney character.

User Review - 8/10 by Edith NIn Which Disney Tries to Make Learning Fun This cartoon wasn't shown very often when I was a kid. Not in the current "they never show the old stuff" way. It's just that it's half an hour long, which made it too long to squeeze into regular programming. It had to be scheduled on its own when they had a spare chunk of time somewhere, possibly because they'd shown [i]Dumbo[/i] or one of the other short movies. And yet I still remembered it vividly and was delighted when I discovered it was available on DVD. In fact, it was the first episode, all by itself, on [i]The Wonderful World of Color[/i], so I suppose they might have aired it in the time slot of old episodes of that, and the reason it was released separately is that it doesn't quite fit into any of the Nifty Disney Box Set Tins. Though I live in hope that another old favourite, the "I'm No Fool" cartoons, will be putting in an appearance in that collection soon. Donald Duck (Clarence Nash, of course) is hunting in Wonderland, it would appear. Anyway, some mysterious forest filled with strange creatures. It turns out this isn't the forest wherein dwells the Cheshire Cat, much though it looks like it; this is the eponymous Mathmagic Land, wherein dwells the True Spirit of Adventure (Paul Frees). Donald, being Donald, scoffs at math as being "for eggheads." (Because it was 1959!) However, the spirit introduces him to the wonderful things math has given us. We start with the Pythagoreans and their contribution toward the mathematics of music. There's also art, architecture, the wonders of nature, and even three-cushion billiards, played by someone I am unable to identify. And then Donald, who of course screws the whole thing up. Because Donald. The spirit points out how much of the world we experience every day relies on mathematics, and ends by quoting Galileo--"Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe." When I was a kid, everyone always assumed that I should be good at math. That I should enjoy it, in fact. This because I both cook and play music, and both of those involve all kinds of fractions. The spirit doesn't get into cooking, but again, the entire first section of the piece is about music. It's true that music is bilingual and speaks in Italian and Math. I can't even pretend that I don't know a lot of the important bits of math, can't even pretend that I didn't know some of it even before I saw this cartoon for the first time. (The thing with Pythagoras was new to me.) Music speaks in half notes and quarter notes, in fourths and fifths. In modern music, the orchestra tunes to an A that plays at 440 hertz. It's even just called "A 440" in musicians' shorthand. And that's all even before we add cooking and its math. I do know all that, and I have known all that for a long time. However, the math part was never the interesting part for me and probably never will be. Really, the fun here is in knowing that you must be better at math than Donald Duck. It's the same reason there are all those driver's ed cartoons with Goofy. What the fine people at Disney did well with this sort of thing, what a lot of the educational value of [i]Sesame Street[/i] is based on, is in knowing that you can't talk down to your audience without losing some or all of their interest. However, you can talk down to the idiot character. Sure, the audience didn't know any of that stuff, either. However, by letting them pretend that they did, you can teach them even more. It may well stick better, too, given that we all know that information is just going to fly out of Donald's head within about an hour, but I've known the formula for computing a shot in three-cushion billiards for better than twenty years now. We can laugh when Donald doesn't understand chess even if we don't ourselves, because laughing at Donald is what he's really there for most of the time. I have always been enamored of the existence, in Donald's head, of a file drawer labeled "bungling." As if this wasn't perfectly adequately explained by all the other problems in his mind. It isn't really worth pursuing the fact that the Pythagoreans themselves had more than a few False Concepts and Superstitions, just as other drawers in Donald's head contain. I mean, there's the whole thing about beans. However, it is true that Donald is often shown to portray an extreme example of someone ruled by emotion more than logic. His most famous attribute after his voice is his temper. One of the cartoons in regular play when I was a child showed Donald getting a revenge above and beyond that his nephews deserved for a relatively harmless prank. In fact, the revenge he took on them ended up only hurting himself, as they had fooled him so that they were able to go get him a prize he'd won without his knowing so they could surprise him. Learning math would not exactly cure Donald of rashness, but learning a little scientific thought wouldn't hurt.
User Review - 8/10 by Rob MOk, its dated but how do you argue with the puns and period references. This is a favourite of math teachers as I first saw it in High School and so did my kids many years later.
User Review - 8/10 by C.j. OFor a Donald Duck skit, this was funny. Plus it had some good math info that kids could easily remember. I know I still remember some.
