yes, I remember an old Disney cartoon where Donald meets the greek Plato and
other philosophers and discovers math and music. It was pretty fun for a movie
involving geometric figures and tone division... ;)

That may be it, actually. We don't know she was working on that work in
'94 (she talks about it in '97) - but perhaps she had.

You mean "A Beautiful Mind".
And anyway, the problem with finding a "good" full length movie about
Math, is that I don't know of *any* full length movies about math.

Actually... no.
Indeed, I can't even name a short one. I presume this is because
everybody things that maths is boring.
On the other hand, can you think of any movies about music? I mean, that
go into any vague level of technical detail about music? I guess the
thing is that technical details aren't very interesting in a movie...

If you include the bonus features, it like 3 Days of stuff. The
commentary from the hobbit actors was priceless.

Very apt too. I loved that movie, though I doubt you would.

It's not quite a counterexample, but I found that the anime Hikaru No Go
was quite interesting despite going into at least a bit of technical
detail about go. Can't think of any examples with mathematics though,
but I bet it's possible. Perhaps part of the reason that it's easier to
do in a TV series than a movie is that it takes a lot of time to explain
even the basics of more technical subjects if you're audience isn't
already familiar with it.
