Donald in Mathmagic Land Quote
Donald Duck: [referring to a ballerina being measured with the golden rectangles] Well, well, well. This is mathematics? I gotta have me some of that! [he runs up to the model and breaks the rectangles apart]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Ah-ah-ah, Donald!
Donald Duck: Let me try it! [he picks up a small rectangle]
The True Spirit of Adventure: No, no, no!
Donald Duck: Ideal proportions.
The True Spirit of Adventure: Not quite. [Donald tosses away the rectangle and picks up a larger one]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Uh-uh. No, I'm afraid not. [Donald tries to fit himself inside the rectangle]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Well, we can't all be mathematically perfect.
Donald Duck: Oh, yeah? [Donald squeezes himself into the rectangle, and he successfully gets inside taking up the shape of a pentagon]
Donald Duck: There, I knew I could do it!
The True Spirit of Adventure: Now that you're all bent up in a pentagon, let's see how nature uses the same mathematical form. [various forms in nature with this shape are shown]
The True Spirit of Adventure: The petunia, the star jasmine, the starfish, the wax flower. There are literally thousands of members in good standing. In nature, it's the Pythagorean idea of the star. All nature's works have a mathematical logic, and her patterns are limitless.
The True Spirit of Adventure: Ah-ah-ah, Donald!
