The story follows Arthur Square (MARTIN SHEEN) and his curious granddaugther Hex (KRISTEN BELL). When a mysterious visitor (MICHAEL YORK) arrives from Spaceland, Arthur and Hex must come to terms with the truth of the third dimension, risking dire consequences from the evil Circles that have ruled Flatland for thousands of years.
Combining action, drama, geometry, and socio-political commentary, this heartfelt story will appeal to all ages. FLATLAND, a best-selling classic book for over 100 years, comes to life in this new animated film that challenges audiences to grasp the limitations of our own assumptions about reality, and to think of the idea of higher dimensions.
This Special Educator Edition includes a school educational license for institutional-wide use, as well as worksheets and math lessons developed by Dr. Thomas Banchoff, geometer at Brown University, and the world's eminent Flatland scholar.
