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.

Donald Duck in Mathemagics Land! He teaches you how to line up pool
shots too. :-)

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

Which is only appealing due to his schizophrenia, and the drama (most
of it untrue) that it created.

Hey, I was in third grade at the time. I was more impressed they were
showing 8-year-olds how to pool shark than I was by the math itself.

I have yet to see the movies in commentary mode (each movie has, IIRC,
at least 3 commentary tracks).

I couldn't really follow Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it's
probably the translation thing, never was sure why that could
win any awards. Squatting director, hidden plot.
