Dig

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.

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.
