    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Much of this movie's financial failure is blamed on the fact that it was released on 5 December 1941, only two days before Pearl Harbor was bombed.
    • Goofs
      When the sprinkler is going off, a bug in a blue dress disappears right before the scene ends.
    • Quotes

      Hoppity: I told you we belong here in the garden. The lady human said so. You heard her.

      Mr. Bumble: Gosh! And she knew my name.

    • Alternate versions
      Released to TV as "Hoppity Goes to Town" by NTA, with copyright date and one minute missing. A hasty retitle patch-job somewhat ruins the beginning-credits sequence.

    Fabulous Family Fun
    This is a wonderful family film,with a great storyline which in 2004 is very true to the mark,Iwont reveal it and spoil your fun. All the little bugs have great hearts and a story to tell.The humour is spot on with some catchy tunes. I wish it was on sale ala DVD. a lot better than some Disney films. The photgraphy is very good,you are drawn quite cleverly into the film,which has good colour,with well drawn characters. The movement of each little bug is well defined and their are lots of them,but each is easy to remember,and easy to like. Without giving to much away the story evolves around a species in danger,a love story,and the relationship between insects and humans,I loved it years ago and its even better now. your kids will adore it.
