Donald in Mathmagic Land (1959)

[Donald winds up on a giant chessboard and his sailor-suit attire has somehow changed to that of Alice from "Alice In Wonderland" and he meets up red king and queen chess pieces]
Red Queen Chess Piece: [about Donald] Good heavens! What's this?
Red King Chess Piece: Upon my soul, it appears to be a lost pawn!
Donald Duck: I'm no pawn, I'm Donald Duck!
Red Queen Chess Piece: He says he's Donald Duck.
Red King Chess Piece: Preposterous!
Red Queen Chess Piece: Or he could be an Alice.
Donald Duck: [angrily] Alice?
Red King Chess Piece: No, no, no, it's a lost pawn.
Red Queen Chess Piece: [prodding Donald] Lost pawn?
[Donald runs off]
Red Queen Chess Piece: Stop that pawn!
Donald Duck: Help! Mr. Spirit! Help, help, help!
[the chess pieces chase Donald off the chess board]

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: And now you are ready for the most exciting game of all.
Donald Duck: Oh, boy!
The True Spirit of Adventure: And the playing field for this game is in the mind.
[Fade in to Donald's mind, revealing a disorganized room with dusty file cabinets]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Uh-oh. Look at the condition of your mind: antiquated ideas! Bungling! False concepts! Superstitions! Confusion! To think straight, we'll have to clean house.
[the cabinets close and a broom starts sweeping by itself; Donald's face contorts as dust and moths fly out of his head]
The True Spirit of Adventure: There, that's more like it. A nice clean sweep.
