[Walt sees three paint lab girls in black and white, despite the fact that the show is in color]
Walt Disney: Girls, just a moment! Haven't you got the word? We're in full color. Oh, well, a bit of color magic will fix it. Bibbidi-bobbidi-blue!
[the first girl turns red, the second green and the third blue]
Walt Disney: Whoops. I must've said the wrong words. Let's see. Ah, I know. NBC! Color TV!
[the girls all turned into their colored forms]
Walt Disney: Well, that's more like it.

Featured review
A very colorful Disney favorite from back in the days.
I remember watching this old episode from the Disneyland/Wonderful World of Color show. This vintage Disney favorite introduces Professor Ludwig Von Drake, voiced by Paul Frees and long before Corey Burton took over the role. Frees was known for many voiceover roles in his career, Disney and non-Disney. In the Disney community, and like you'd hear in the Mathemagicland portion, he also did the Spirit of Adventure. This was also before he would do dialogue for Disney park attractions like the Haunted Mansion and Adventure Through Innerspace.
I liked Professor Von Drake's lecture on the world of color, and the songs his performed. My favorite being "The Spectrum Song." Also in the same year the episode debuted, a Disneyland LP of Professor Ludwig Von Drake was released. I own that vintage Disney record on iTGunes in fact.
Mathematics and color go good together, don't you agree? An overall 10 is what I give this classic show.
