This is just a cute, semi-whimsical video I encountered.
It's a little less than 10 mins. long.

I remember that one.
I think I saw it in school in either the 7th or 8th grade.
I still don't know why I was able to remember this cartoon and other stuff that is not nearly as important as the other stuff I was supposed to remember.
The world may never know...

The Dot and the Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Screenshots from the 1965 animated adaptation of The Dot and the Line.The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics (ISBN 1-58717-066-3) is a book written and illustrated by Norton Juster, first published by Random House in 1963. The title is an obvious reference to Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott.
In 1965, famed animator Chuck Jones and the MGM Animation/Visual Arts studio adapted The Dot and the Line into a 10-minute animated short film for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, narrated by Robert Morley. The Dot and the Line won the 1965 Academy Award for Animated Short Film. Five years later, Jones turned another Juster book into an animated feature film, The Phantom Tollbooth.
The cartoon was released as a special feature on the The Glass Bottom Boat DVD in 2005.

Well, I was just guessing about the "seeing it in school". I can't imagine myself, at a younger age, sitting down to watch it by choice. Then again, when I was 7, we only had 4 or 5 black-&-white channels to choose from ;D |

I also saw it as a kid... I assume it was in a movie theater before the main feature. I do not think it was in school.

I vaguely remember watching it in elementary school, about the 3rd or 4th grade--the schools had a program then for classes to get interesting/artsy/educational films and movies to watch, and we saw 2 or 3 every week.
The one I want to see again, and I'm not sure when I saw the original, was a short about relative size/distance, where your visual viewpoint moves from earth ground level down to subatomic particle, then back out to zero magnification (earth ground level), and then to outer space as distance from earth increases exponentially--cool visuals and cool perspectives! Anyone remember anything like that?
