Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who likes a world with its own rules. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Disney used animation here to explain through this wonderful adventure of Donald how mathematics can be useful in our real life. Through this journey Donald shows us how mathematics are not just numbers and charts, but magical living things.
