A Square of Flatland meets a higher dimensional Sphere. Early hand-drawn version of classic math allegory by famed animator. This fine short shows the edgy playful drawing style of the Hubley family studios, known for many distinctive enlightened jazzy animations starting in 1955 when Faith Hubley married John Hubley, who worked at Disney until he was blacklisted for pro-union politics. In 1962 John became the first animation teacher at Harvard's new Visual Arts Center, where he pushed to make a version of Flatland. Dudley Moore narrates with companions from UK comedy group "Beyond the Fringe", and happily the film is still available, though pricey for its length. -

Another was made by Michele Emmer in 1982 - although the only reference i could find to this is unfortunately Wikipedia and a short entry in IMDB - Source (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121289/) also mentioned on http://www.calormen.com/Flatland/ where they also admit to only having seen it mentioned in these two previously stated sites.
