Chuck Jones film fest tomorrow on Turner Classic Movies
This a short film called “The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics” and it was the thing I remember most about any math class I ever took. I think I first saw it as a preview for Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land, a movie our math teacher showed instead of teaching on that day before Christmas vacation.
This movie is based on a book by Norton Juster (who also wrote The Phantom Tollbooth. The film was animated by the legendary artist Chuck Jones, who helped create Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and a bunch of other Looney Tunes characters.
Tomorrow (Tuesday, March 24) night Turner Classic Movies is having a mini-film fest featuring some Jones’ most memorable characters and short films. The festival kicks off with a 30-minute documentary about Jones and his career. It is sure to rule.
