5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful movie; very educational and fun at the same time., September 23, 2004
By Michael (Flagstaff, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
When I was little, I watched this movie so many times that, even now, I can talk along with the movie the whole time. This movie focuses on the non-arithmetic aspects of math. My dad, a math professor and Physics PhD, really likes this movie. He shows it on the first day of every class he teaches. This movie really started my love of math. It shows that, in the words of Donald himself, "Mathematics is a lot more than two times two!" This is a great buy at almost any price.

5.0 out of 5 stars This sticks in your head!, October 20, 2003
By Andrew Esselaar (St. Laurent, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
I can still remember seeing this film in class when I was 10 (1983-1984), and that they covered at one point how to use the diamonds on the sides of pool tables to calculate your shots! So many times since I would think back to this movie whenever I played pool, wishing I could remember the exact formula. That's how interesting it made math! It's still in my head 20 years later!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great math movie for fifth and sixth graders!!, September 10, 2003
By Margaret Coxwell "Margi" (Minot, ND United States) - See all my reviews
As a teacher of upper elementary children for many years, I showed Donald in Mathmagic Land many times. It served as a springboard for studying different aspect of mathematics and for relating math to numerous areas of life. Students often had difficulty seeing the sense in learning math, but by watching this movie, their curiosity was piqued and they were inspired to do further study. Now that I teach math methods as a college professor, I show the movie to my preservice educators. They find it as interesting and useful as I do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Classic Math intro for Kids
