Of Interest:

Oscar winner, best animated short subject - 1962.

Note: I don't know of any specific Hubley compilations which contain this film, so the ebay search is deliberately open-ended. For example, I found it on a public domain disc for $2, but Hubley's Everybody Ride the Carousel starts at $150 used on Amazon. It is not on either of the first two volumes of the three volume John and Faith Hubley collection, and I don't know what's on three. The search also doesn't include the phrase 'the hole' since this was a major 2003 movie, but once you get there you can tweak the search.
