Ohhhh it's heart warming ❤😊

@@inin-zq5ob Yes it is!

🥲Awesome! Lovely memories to pass down!

lucky to be born when you were, the golden era, wish I was in my 70's, so I wouldn't be around much longer for all the nonsense.

I grew up watching this a few times on TV and i remember my parents recording it on VHS for me and the other kids in the family. It's a classic and a keeper.

it's a bee movie

@@___Anakin.Skywalker 🤣

I'm 59, and I remember seeing this on TV as a kid in the late 60s/early 70s, along with Fleischer's animated Gulliver's Travels.

I'm in my 20's watching this for the first time too. Definitely going to pass this one down to my kids ❤

me too.

Me too! I remember watching it with my mom.

@@susangarcia9073 wonderful ❤️

I didn't realize how far back this movie went. I saw it as a child and I'm in my mid 30s

Don't forget the pole lamp.

At what age sir when you first watch this movie and what age are you now sir.

One possible reason why it's little known is because this is the one that finally broke the Fleischer studio. They heavily mortgaged their studio (to Paramount) to finance production of it, and when it flopped at the box-office, Paramount made the rash (and possibly illegal) decision to foreclose on the studio. They basically took possession of the studio & all its cartoons, kicked the Fleischers out & moved _everything_ back to New York. As a result, this movie, obtained during the foreclosure like everything else, was considered something of a hot potato & other than occasional reruns on TV, it kind of faded into oblivion, remembered only by people who saw it or by animation historians.

@@MrPGC137 That’s sad. I truly hope that social media will give this movie the attention it deserves.

@@gedaloomhiaka8488 In the meantime for more information, the book _The Fleischer Story,_ by Leslie Cabarga, is _highly_ recommended. It was written after extensive interviews with many of the studio artists & other personnel who were then still living. It might be out of print & hard to find, but copies _may_ be available at your local library.

@@jvgreendarmok Also, "Bugville".

Some prints - including this one! - are titled "Hoppity Goes To Town".

@@MothGirl007 The most uninspiring of the three titles.

My VHS copy definitely said "hoppity goes to town" could be one of those things where they change the title based on the country.

I really liked the 3D city in the opening titles. Looked so much better than some of the CGI crap these days.

"Mr Bug Goes to Town" is the original title. It was changed to "Hoppity goes to Town" when it was rereleased in the late 40s and they kept that title when it was shown on TV in the 50s, which is what this print is from, it's a National Television Association print. I don't think a print with the original title exists any more.

Definitivamente, não.

Oh it's heart warming ❤❤

It's fairly obvious that the Animators from Disney copied a lot of the Fleischer's Techniques. The Fleischer's were the first Animators to experiment with Rotoscoping and 3 Dimensional Backgrounds.

Considering the nature of the business, you will find that animators were a company shifting bunch. A cursory view of titles will show familiar names from company to company. Much to our benefit and theirs.😁

@@mybachhertzbaud3074 Oh, yes. I recognize names in the credits, in which these people would move from to studio to studio. Tedd Pierce, co-writer of the movie and the voice of Mr. Beatle wrote and voiced for Looney Tunes before and after. Co-animator Irving Spector allegedly started at Mintz/Columbia/Screen Gems but became a writer and board artist for DePatie-Freezling. De-facto assistant director Shamus Culhane went on to co-animate for Chuck Jones in 1942 before directing for Walter Lantz in 1943-45. Co-writer Cal Howard, who previously did Walter Lantz and Warners Bros., moved to Screen Gems/Columbia and the worst 1960s Lantz and 7-Arts era Looney Tunes.

me sale en inglés

a mi me sale en ingles

@@yamilethreyes1095 Esta película nunca tuvo doblaje. Fue un gran fracaso en estados unidos, y aun al día de hoy es poco conocida.

Esque me llamo la atención . No sé .. dije se ve bonita voy a verla, la descargue y nada.. puro ingles

@@yamilethreyes1095 jaja si, así pasa. Solo se puede ver en KZfaq, por los subtítulos automáticos. Aun así es muy disfrutable.

@@yamilethreyes1095 pssst! elo uploader subio subtitulos en ESPAÑOL! buscalos en opciones (el engranaje) y subtitulos 😉

I don't remember ever seeing it in almost 66 years... The whole thing is stunning. Very likely the best. Enjoy!

It brings back an innocent time in cartoon history where everything was drawn by hand

​@adamwebbartistwr1ddui😊😊😊😊😊iterwebb7760

It’s the best! ❤

Cheers young lady, thats awesome!

Watching it on a Roku TV and had to shut off the closed captioning because nothing was matching up with the dialogue. =)

Very much like Hayao Miyazaki.

@@thegreencat9947 I appreciate your comment! Hayao Miyazaki is a fan of this movie.

@@user-xo5jt7tn7k Really? The art of animation has always enchanted me. Thank you for telling me this very interesting fact.

I seen this movie before, and she really is a sweetheart! ❤

That goes without saying anything. Quite frankly: C. Bagley Beetle is nothing more than that of a second rate annoyance to as lowly as a third rate needy pathetic little miser among bug types who’s hellishly starved for attention and admiration in order to compensate for living richly but all alone with swat the fly and smack the mosquito as his dimwitted, mindless, sycophantic, highly incompetent, but lovable henchmen, no matter how much they mean well at times. As for swat and smack, they’re not exactly any better themselves despite only really carrying out C. Bagley Beetle’s orders and doing his dirty work only to be treated no better than how he wishes to treat much less do harm onto that of his arch rival in love for the affections of the lovely Honey the honeybee who’s also the story’s main character: Hoppity the grasshopper

Oh Yes. When I saw this pop up ...I thought of Tom Hatten immediately. .
