Available on DVD now!!!
Hi, everyone ~ I was wonderfully surprised to have found this delightful movie on DVD at Movies Unlimited! I understood it was only available on VHS and was looking into converting it to DVD; however, none of the companies I called had the VHS on their distribution list. But not to worry . . . this animation gem can be purchased at Movies Unlimited for $19.99 plus shipping. They will order straight from the manufacturer and, hence, are brand new copies. BTW, when ordering, ask for the original title, "Hoppity Goes to Town." It is currently listed on this site as "Mr. Bug Goes to Town" but shows the cover of the movie with the original title.
Just wanted to share this information with all interested parties.
Enjoy!!
Pat
P.S. I understand this is the first movie to incorporate special effects.
