DVD : BUGVILLE (Hoppity Goes To Town)

A film by Max et Dave FLEISCHER (USA - 1941)

Bugville is a charming little village whose tranquility is shattered when his people, usually so cheerful, learn that skyscrapers will be built on their land...

Also known under the names "Mr. Bug Goes to Town" and "Hoppity Goes To Town", Bugville was originally going to be released in November 1941, but since the Fleischers’ rival, Walt Disney Productions, had its film DUMBO released weeks earlier in October and was already a success, Paramount changed the date to December.

Having the misfortune of opening two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bugville was a financial disaster and led to the ousting of Max and Dave Fleischer, from the studio they had established in 1919. Paramount reorganized the company as Famous Studios.
