Legend films release this title and it sure looks good. Im sure they have restored it, cause they also have the preview for it and it looks old. This is a classic cartoon, remembered by a lot of people, and when they talk about it you can see the smiles on their faces...why... its because a few years ago there was'nt much on tv, and cartoons gave it a new lease on life. Cartoons were not really for kids, they were for all. Some of the subjects were pretty risky, but for this movie from the Fleischer Studio was done for everybody' entertainment. Fun for the kids, good for the adults. Nice little story with great characters. I personally like Fleischer Studio material better than Disney and others.... Fleischer Studio had Character !!
What a GREAT family film! I remember this animated film from a long ago childhood... And can now relive a bit of that lost youth once again! This 1941 film has never been given it,s fair due kudos by any critic- until NOW!! The animation is great for the era, if a little stiff by Disney standards of later years this film is always compared to; the story is enjoyable by both young and older viewers; and the overall tone of the film is positive. Remember, Fleischer Studio was less than half the size and sophistication of Disney Studio, so they were always playing catch-up to anything Disney ever did. Most people viewing "Bugville", or "Hoppity Goes To Town" as it is also known, tend to appreciate it for what it is... A charming animated film that had the misfortune to be released only two days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor! This led to the film, which was a real gamble for Fleischer Studios, failing at the box-office at it,s premiere. In this current reality of 2014, this new release is finally getting the respect and admiration it has long missed out on with a new release that is amazingly sharp and crystal clear in presentation on the DVD Disc... And the world is a little better for it, in my humble opinion... Steve Berner/berner712Read full review
