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.

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!
Great math movie for fifth and sixth graders!! September 10, 2003

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!
My favorite movie since I was 2! February 9, 2001

This video is a wonderful fantasy into "mathmagic" land to visit the mathmaticians that Donald calls "eggheads". Learn geometry, fractions,pi,addition and subtraction, and history of math. Without even knowing it! It is a fun movie. My favorite part is Donald playing hopscotch dressed as a little boy holding a giant lollipop. Also learn how to clean your mind! This is a must have. Since it's not available here, buy it at a store.
Children today still love it March 30, 2006

At about age two my youngest daughter started watching "Donald in Mathmagic Land" (a Disney video). Several years later, she still loves to watch it. I am afraid the video will wear out.
For those unfamiliar with the movie, Donald Duck takes a tour of mathmagic land. He visits with the ancient greek philosophers and mathematicians (and ends up in a musical jazz jam session with them), plays billiards, visits with characters from Alice in Wonderland, and more.
You and your children will love the movie. Even though I am old and gray, I still get a few laughs from the movie. Whenever I see a square root, I think of the "square roots" in this movie.
