My students find the highfalutin' commentary a bit of-putting, though poetic. Some get it, especially when I explain the references to Icarus and Daedalus. In general, I find the animation, the vivid explanation of the sacred geometry, and the construction sequence very well-done and informative.... That's why I keep showing it, despite its VHS format.
