Based on the book by Norton Juster. If you would like to purchase a copy of “The Dot & the Line” it appears on the “Glass Bottom Boat” DVD in the “Special Features” section. Here is a link: http://www.chuckjones.com/animation_art/The_Dot__the_Line_-_DVD.html
“and made an angle” hahaha
lol @ “to the vector go the spoils”
YAY Im from Argentina, so im doing PRETTY WELL ON THE ENGLISH THING kthxbye
anyway, i didnt mean to imply you thought that way =)
hmm, you’re words are inspiring, in a strange but clever way, and anyway I didn’t say maths was “dull”, some of it is quite cool, they say maths is used in everyday life, which is true in a way
also you miss spelled “beautiful”, I like English too
“Freedom is not a licence for chaos”
Math may seem dull, dreadfully structured and predictable, a random colection of rules. But from these simple rules we can derive beautyful and complex things that make sense and have presence and meaning
Or maybe some math mayor was tired of messy hippy musicians getting all the free love
He said “rhomboids”, which is a word I think.
6:16 — The correct pluralization for “rhombus” is “rhombi”, not “rhomboise” (or whatever he said). 8-}
so does a diksionary

‘bugs are only scary when they’re eight feet tall’

thats a response to someone on page four who said “minimalysm rules!” - no offence
-
‘ ‘aint life a doozy when you got a brand new carrot to play with’

so does a diksionary
Norton Juster was a genius.
I haven’t seen this in years. Something made me think of it today and here it is! Thanks for the memories.
lol my maths teacher recomended this video to me
cant see much “maths” in it though -_-
Still this is actually quite a good cartoon
….and picked his ear.
I fuckin LOVE this cartoon
lol LOVE this cartoon! “you’re as meaningless as a melon!”
I remember the first time I made an angle.
And another and another and another…
The double entendres are amazing.
This is one of the greatest things we have ever seen.
we saw this in geometry class today…….yup
I suppose it is true, what they say.
“Nice lines finish last.”
And the dot’s a fickle bitch.
i know, right? i’m not really this bitter i swear. power to the size acceptance community!!!
SirHenry39, good pun!
Rostiejay, lol that’s funny! I never thought of it that way because I grew up on this cartoon.
Lol that’s hilarious the dot has to be a fat chick.
why is the Dot such a big fucking deal. the line and the squiggle should lose that big fat dead weight, go get a beer and forget about that bitch.
I have been searching for this cartoon, I saw it once when I was very young, 40 years ago, and it made a big impression on me. Thank you!
