- Mr. Digit explains the to the public the impending change to all-number calling in this 1961 film starring the then-well-known radio and television team, Peg Lynch and Alan Bunce ("Ethel and Albert"). They portray a couple coming home from vacation to find their time-honored telephone number, "Bubbling Brook 3-2468", is being changed to seven numerals. Ethel is, naturally, upset to be losing her identity. Mr. Digit, a character created by former Disney animator Chuck Couch, is featured in the animated portion of the film, as the tutor from the telephone company. He explains the new numbering system to Ethel and shows that "we're running out of numbers under our present numbering system." He discusses some expected communications services of the future and the necessity of all-number calling to make improvements in present services as well as those expected to come. Ethel finds the change isn't as radical as she thought, and "she might like it, at that."
- You will often see in old movies, scenes set in drugstores with a bank of many pay phones along one wall. By 1949, people were getting phones in their own homes and, gradually, the drug store phone booths shrank in number. Telezonia is a primer for the new phone owners to help them understand how to operate their new possessions. Bil and Cora Baird were popular puppeteers at the time and were hired to make an entertaining instruction video. The title character, a robot of some sort, helps kids understand the difference between a dial tone and a busy signal, how to engage with the operator if the phone has no dial, and how to be polite if you are on a party line. The message of the film may now be unnecessary, but the skill of the Bairds is still entertaining.
