Donald in Mathmagic Land

June 10, 2007 11:29 PM

I want to find an online version of "Donald in Mathmagic Land."

I remember watching this as a child and how wonderful and interesting I found it. I have found bits and pieces online, but not the whole video. Is there any online resource that carries the entire video?

It's used and new on Amazon from $20.

Response by poster: I will definitely buy the video at some point. I was wondering, though, if there is any free online resource for the entire short film, or at least for the parts that I haven't been able to find just yet.

Part 1, Part 2

My VHS copy (which I can't play for lack of a VCR currently) says the runtime is 27 minutes. For the life of me I can't remember what would be missing, but the two links provided by jvilter add up to about 17 minutes and don't seem to line up correctly end to end.

Here's a torrent, if you're into that sort of thing. I haven't checked it.

Darn! I just got all smarty-pants, and put the links up after I found them earlier yesterday, while following links from another mefi question. It didn't occur to me that it might not be complete.

And now I see that the OP had included those very links.
Note to self: never post after midnight.

Seconding the torrent thing: Go here and you can see the options from btjunkie.org, which is usually pretty good. For the ones that have files other than what you want, you can always just not download those parts.

Wikipedia's Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land entry has the whole plot summarized. You can use that to figure out which parts are missing from the two videos on YouTube and maybe track them down. From that I think you're missing The Human Body & Nature and Mental Exercises. My neighbor says the torrent link provided by gleuschk downloads in about an hour though.
