Tries too hard to be funny, 9 December 2015
I'm rating and reviewing these educational shorts based on two factors: 1. Is the short entertaining (intentional or not)? and 2. Does the short do what it was intended to do - educate?
So, is Magical Disappearing Money entertaining? Not really. The problem is that the short tries way too hard to be funny and generally fails. The attempts at slapstick are pretty lame. Also, I found the main character, the grocery witch, terribly unappealing.
Was Magical Disappearing Money educational? That depends. If you're a dolt who doesn't understand basic concepts like how to read a price tag, then yes, you might learn something. But if your IQ approaches room temperature, I doubt there's much here you didn't already know.
Overall, I'll rate this one a 3/10.
