Cartoon for children
To make their cartoon ’programme “Dig” as authentic as possible, Oscar-winners John and Faith Hubley became geologists them selves. They rummaged through excavation sites,
digested countless, complicated texts and consulted with Dr Bruce Heezon, a geologist at Columbia University. The story line is a simple yet engaging one: a young boy sent out by his mother to run an errand with his dog, mysteriously winds up discovering the earth’s insides, with the help of a rock, appropriately named Rocco, who serves as the tour guide. “Dig: A Journey Into The Earth” screens in colour on N.Z.B.C. television on Sunday at 5.44 p.m.
