Review of Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941) by Paul C — 03 Apr 2012
Hoppity is a charming if slightly phycadelic animated movie that considering it was made in the 1941 has stood the test of time incredibly well.
Now I have to admit I have a soft spot for â??Hoppity Goes To Townâ?? (as it is called in the United Kingdom) having watched a VHS version taped of the TV by our parents many times with my siblings.
Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning just in time to catch it on Channel Four (at 0615 never the less!).
The film was just as delightful as I remembered it with the animation standing the test of time and a lovely moral tale which should appeal to parents and children alike. Maybe one day I to shall share this forgotten classic with children of my own.
With a nice running time for kids (88 mins) and a simple yet involving storyline there really is something for everyone in this tale of the little guy coming good. I really could see this being successfully remade in CGI. Take note Pixar.
