Mr. Bug Goes To Town (aka: Hoppity Goes to Town)
" Boy Oh Boy, Here's Music, Laughter, Love and Joy!"

-- Synopsis: The screen's first full-length musical comedy cartoon. Takes place in a vacant corner lot off Broadway (by about a yard) is a place known as the Lowlands by the tiny community that lives there.

* It is filled with great musical numbers and a very involving story. The characters are lovable and charming and there is heart in this film. Great for the entire family.
