I figure this might be NPR ... KINDA... lol . I remember seeing an old cartoon with mickey mouse, donald duck and friends, a kind of "trippy" old cartoon .. that during the movie/cartoon they go through details on how to use a few diamond systems. I thought it would be pretty cool to find that old cartoon. Im pretty sure disney did quite a few billiards references in many of there fliks.. if anyone can find any .. or any online, could you post up the link? rep to anyone who can find any info on the subject!! Thanks again:thumbup:

"Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land." A DVD is still sold by Disney in a teaching package for math teachers. You can typically find 10 copies of the VHS tape for sale on eBay at a time. The last time I looked, the end prices were about $15. Search on "mathmagic."

The billiard sequence in Mathmagic Land is about five minutes. The system illustrated is the "corner-five." It is not explained well enough to take directly to the table, but it does give some idea of what the system can do.
 
Here's a link to google video. the video is broken into 3 sections, the first part that i saw billiards in it was clip 2 of 3

All 3 parts of the film are here as well



MATHMAGIC 2 of 3


Enjoy
