This short was sponsored by either an oil company or mining operation to produce an educational short about geology. The Hubleys did a marvelous job. The veteran character actor Jack Warden is the voice of "Rocko", our underground tour guide, explaining terms such as igneous and sedimentary to the audience. I first saw this in a high school geology class. It was included in The Cosmic Eye and is available on DVD and is worth the effort to get. Recommended.
I saw this cartoon about 6 years ago as part of a collection on VHS called "The Cosmic Eye". I could never remember the title and the video store from which I rented liquidated its supply. I just rediscovered the title tonight and am thrilled. "Dig" is a great cartoon about a rock that gets picked up by a kid on a bike and helps him travel into the Earth to learn about different types of rocks. There's music which is both entertaining and hilarious. A must have for enthusiasts of bizarre and amusing cartoons. "The Cosmic Eye" available for purchase as well.
