Educational Shorts

With the success of "Donald in Mathmagicland" and it's popularity among the educational community, Disney went full force into making educational shorts for schools. The following is a list of all we've been able to find. It is assumed that most of these were animated, or at least a mix of animation and live-action, but specifics on most are unknown at this time.
